Boilerplate
FACTION is a trading card game played on square cards, built so that where a card sits matters as much as what it does. Set in a fractured near-future where six factions compete for the scraps of civilisation, FACTION pairs fast, readable tabletop play with a free browser-based demo. Every piece of final card art is commissioned from human artists - no generative AI. Independently developed in Australia, FACTION debuted at PAX Aus 2026. The first three starter decks go on sale in December 2026, the other three in January 2027, and the full set follows on Kickstarter in 2027.
The six factions
Each faction owns a main colourway and an accent - the colour system is part of the game.
Serpentine Helix
“You can't patent a secret.”
The Alumni
“We own the Escrow. You just work here.”
The Scrappers
“Out of the past is where we find our future.”
SuperGoMart
“Satisfaction is guaranteed... And mandatory.”
The F.O.L.D
“E.V.E has spoken. Spread the word.”
Android Collective
“Hard-Coded. Hard-Tested. Repatriated.”
