As a card game designer (kaiju assault card game, kaiju match, and soon a henshin heroes based game [no name yet] with a food game to release next year) I am old fashion in thinking card games are best in person, but for he-man to get ANYTHING, I will at least give it a download and see the mechanics.
Interesting. Seems like a bit of a knock off of Hearthstone. Honestly, since Mattel has already partnered with Hasbro on the Transformers x MOTU figures they might as well go all the way and get a Universes Beyond Magic: The Gathering set made of MOTU. It fits in much better thematically than a lot of existing UB products do.
Nice! I’m not a gamer, in-person nor online, but I’m very happy to see MOTU get new items and channels. Cool to see they’re using the Revelation designs as base, too! Always great to see that world again🥲

I’m down for a card game. Looks interesting. Hopefully they include some obscure characters as cards.
Why Revelation designs? Meh.
