FAQ's
Is the game currently out and playable?

No, we are building in public! We plan to begin alpha testing in Q1 2025.

What features are still being developed?

We have completed the matchmaking system, the deck builder, the in store shop and we've begun work on gameplay. We have completed most of the laborious gameplay work and we are currently working on card actions. We have 209 cards in our initial base set "Mars Armistice" so our primary time consumer right now is coding actions for these cards.

What features will the game have that set it apart from the rest?

Farcell will have several mechanics that differentiate it from the rest of the TCG space. We will include a card scrapping mechanic that allows you to scrap any card for a special scrap currency. That currency can be used to spin a slot style wheel that rewards you with a random card from a set you choose, such as "Mars Armistice" our inaugural set.

We also feel that most TCG's are not truly collectible as you cannot sell and trade the cards you've won by playing Farcell or purchased from the in game shop. We will have a full marketplace system for users to buy, sell and trade their cards and in game rewards in exchange for Farcoin, the in game currency of Farcell.

In addition we play to be a community driven game development company that listens to our players, so we will be monitoring community feedback during alpha testing in order to make the game exactly what the community wants.

How many cards are in Farcell and when will more be added?

Our inaugural set, "Mars Armistice" will contain 209 cards of varying rarity. Cards are broken up currently into War cards, Construction cards, Combat cards and Specialization cards, but more types of cards will be added in the future as the game grows.

We intend to follow up with a second set, "Europa Sanctum" after the game launches in 2025.

What is the gameplay style of Farcell?

We set out to create a game that has the approachability of Pokemon, aspects of strategy you'd find in games like Magic the Gathering or Hearthstone, and a twist of our own to make gameplay fast paced, fun and strategic. Our attack system is one of a kind, delivering damage first to your enemies active War card, then to a random bench slot (by dice roll) and finally to the opponent's outpost. Take out your opponent's outpost to win!

Who is building the game?

Farcell is currently being built by Farcell Studios led by Founder and lead software engineer Daniel White. Daniel has over 15 years of experience in software and game development from the automotive industry, to healthcare, gaming, blockchain development and more. Farcell Studios is currently expanding and looking for a Chief Marketing Officer. If you ware interested, please send your resume to [email protected].

Will the game be available in print?

Farcell is primarily a digital game, but we're excited to announce plans for a Kickstarter campaign between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Through this campaign, we'll offer printed blister packs, display crates, and starter decks. Once the Kickstarter is funded, we'll evaluate the demand to decide if ongoing print production is feasible. While we'd love to keep Farcell in print beyond the campaign, it’s a costly undertaking, and your support on Kickstarter will be crucial in determining the future of printed versions. Stay tuned for updates on how you can back the game!

Can I become an alpha tester?

Yes! We are currently looking for 250 alpha testers and our list is filling quickly. If you'd like to become an alpha tester, just sign up on the home page and we will notify you as soon as the initial game client is released for alpha testing. Our currently plans are to have an alpha client out by late Q4 2024 to early Q1 2025.

How will in game purchases work?

Farcell runs on Farcoin, the in game currency of the game. Farcoin is available for purchase similar to Vbucks in Fortnite or Robucks in Roblox. Purchasing Farcoin enables you to:

  • Purchase blister packs and crates from the shop
  • Allows you to buy cards in the in game card marketplace.
  • Allows you to participate in Wager mode, where players wager Farcoin in a winner takes all game. Win Farcoin as a result to purchase items from the in game shop or the card marketplace.
Do I need to buy Farcoin to enjoy Farcell?

No! Farcell is a free to play, sci-fi online trading card game. When you create an account we will give you some Farcoin to get started, a free starter deck and a few free blister packs. In order to unlock more cards just continue to play Farcell. We will include a battle pass system with both free and paid tiers. All players can enjoy Farcell without spending a penny, just as it should be!
