Some folks (and some gaming media platforms!) really lean into them, taking something formed in the early years of silly playground rivalries among friendship groups all the way into adulthood.
We live in an era where entirely online personas exist that are completely focused on toxic vitriol console warring on behalf of giant gaming corporations.
Remember when gaming was supposed to be about fun?
Regardless, clearly “console warring” is something the entire industry knows about, and actively dislikes. So what if we took all that toxicity; all that online hate, and turned it into something positive and fun? Something where we could all collectively point and laugh at how ridiculous the very concept of console warring is?
And that’s how Console Wars The Card Game came about. Inspired by many of the card games I already play, I wanted to make something even more strategic, vicious and hilarious. As I’ve witnessed with the playtesting over the last year, I truly believe that’s what we’ve created.
I really hope you love it as much as I do!
