ORIGIN of nostalgix TCG
First up, you’ll be wondering what exactly this game is. Let’s get you up to speed, hero!
Nostalgix Trading Card Game was created by Hunter Angell, aka Cardmaster Zaba over the course of a 2 year development cycle starting in late 2019. Sprouting from a love of trading card games dating back to his childhood, Zaba compared all of the most popular trading card games’ that he’d grown up with and devised a way to blend their mechanics together in order to streamline them for new players.
Leveraging his dominance in the fan-made custom card market, he and a group of artists created Base Set, a beautiful harmony of cultures and references. The Nostalgix Kickstarter debuted in late 2021 to record-breaking success eventually raising over $1,000,000 in pre-release funding.
The rest they say, is history.
