Carte is the latest creation from popular MMORPG portal developers, Games Campus. The game is a first for the Games Campus team, adding a new genre to their free to play MMORPG arsenal, the Tactical Card Game. The game is currently unreleased but interested players can pre-register for the closed beta period beginning February 23rd 2012.

Carte will include 5 factions battling for control, Aspire, Kaideron, Sierrion, Saike, Archan, with each player given the starting deck for each faction after successfully completing the tutorial. Players are not restricted to aligning with one faction, they can freely swap between decks whenever they please.

Being a Tactical Card Game, you may assume that Carte will only feature PvP options, however, Games Campus have already announced PvE modes as well as PvP. PvP will be a typical 1v1 battle or Clan Wars, both match types play out in similar fashion, the only difference is the amount of people involved. The main PvE mode will be Raids, players will be able to team up with 2 other players and try to defeat a Raid Boss. Each player will use their own deck of cards and life points.

The game will feature hundreds of variations of cards, monster, spell and trap will be the dominant types. Each card is fully graphical and offers all of the information you need, right on the image. Players are able to increase the size of their deck by buying cards or booster packs, they do this with in-game currency that is won through dueling or raiding. Cards will be priced differently based on rarity, there are 4 variations of card rarity, Basic, Common, Uncommon and Rare. Each card also has an associated level, this level determines how powerful the card is and how much mana it will cost to use the card.
