Getting Started
To begin playing TerraTCG in-game, craft a TerraTCG Deckbox at a workbench using 5 wood. The Deckbox gives access to the Deck Editor. You'll only start with a few cards, but more can be gained by defeating any town NPC in a duel! To kickstart your collection, you can also find a small number of packs scattered in chests in any newly generated world.Talk to the Guide first for a good first opponent, and the option to view an in-game tutorial! Beyond the guide, the following NPCs can all be challenged to a game:
  • the Merchant
  • the Nurse
  • the Arms Dealer
  • the Goblin Tinkerer
  • the Traveling Merchant
  • the Clothier
  • the Dryad
  • the Nerdy Slime

Grow your Collection!
All 100 TerraTCG cards can be obtained by opening packs rewarded by beating NPCs or bosses in a game! Each pack has a 1-in-15 chance to upgrade a card to a rare foil variant!

Up the Stakes!
Once you've gotten enough practice playing against your Townsfolk, you're ready to challenge the bosses themselves! Beating an NPC's second deck awards you with a "Duel Invitation", an item that can be used in the presence of a boss to start a life-or-death game of TerraTCG! Defeating a boss in a game of TerraTCG will slay the boss and unlock its progress in the world, but losing that game will result in death!

How to Play

For a full illustrated gameplay tutorial, talk to the Guide in-game and ask to duel!

Initial Setup
TerraTCG is a card game played between two players. Each player begins by shuffling their deck and drawing 5 cards. One player is then selected randomly to go first.

Each player has 3 resource types:
  • Hearts: The player's life total. Each player starts with 4 hearts, losing one whenever a Creature they control dies. If a player loses all 4 hearts, their opponent wins the game!
  • Mana Crystals: Spent to perform most actions in the game, such as attacking with Creatures or equipping Items. Start at 1 per turn, then regenerate at a growing rate throughout the game.
  • Townsfolk Emblem: Used to cast Townsfolk, powerful one-off cards that can turn the tide of the game. Only 1 is generated per turn.
Card Types
There are 3 types of Card in TerraTCG:
  • Creatures, which are placed onto the battlefield for combat.
  • Items, which provide temporary or permanent buffs to creatures.
  • Townsfolk, which provide powerful single-use effects like card draw.
Creature Cards are the core of gameplay. They can be placed onto the battlefield from the hand for no cost. At any point in your turn, you may declare an attack with a creature in your Offense Row. Attacking with a creature consumes Mana Crystals equal to that creature's attack cost. Dealing damage to opponents' creatures via attacks is key to victory, since you need to reduce 4 opposing creatures' health to zero to win the game!

Item Cards can be attached to creatures, and provide bonuses to their stats. It costs Mana Crystals to play Items from the hand. Items provide effects such as
  • Increasing a creature's damage
  • Decreasing a creature's attack cost
  • Restoring a creature's health
Carefully balancing your Mana Crystal usage between buffing creatures with items and dealing damage will allow you to gain advantage over your opponent over the course of a game!

Townsfolk are a special card type that provide powerful sources of advantage, such as:
  • Drawing cards
  • Gaining extra mana crystals
  • Buffing your creatures without spending Mana Crystals

I love the creativity of the cards, i wonder if there will be cards about rare enemies like Rune Wizard, Nymph, Medusa, Sand Elemental, Dungeon enemies post-Plantera, or maybe enemies from events like the Goblins, Pirates, Martians, and Pumpkin/Frost Moon

Currently there's Rune Wizard, Nympth, and Goblin cards
 
This is sick!
 
I'm currently beta testing a PvP multiplayer version of the mod! Please join the mod discord (linked in the first post) if you're interested in trying it out.
 
Ðis looks great! Have you considered supplying a link to a direct download, or maybe to someþing like Github, for people who have Terraria on Gog and not Steam?

The mod is open source here so you should be able to build it yourself for GOG, currently don't have any sort of direct download link set up though:
