The Free-to-play Browser Game Card Hunter Now Available from the Creators of Magic: The Gathering and BioShock

Blue Manchu has announced that Card Hunter is now available for free with an optional basic edition version available for $24.95. The free-to-play browser game can be played alone or with friends and comes from team members who helped deliver you such games as Magic: The Gathering and BioShock.

From the Press Release
Over 50,000 Beta testers have played thousands of cards, collected millions of items and now Blue Manchu is happy to announce that Card Hunter is finally available for all to play at www.cardhunter.com. Created in collaboration with legendary Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield, Card Hunter is Irrational Games co-founder Jonathan Chey’s first game since BioShock. Its unique mix of card collecting, board gaming and fantasy role-playing is set to reinvigorate the collectible card gaming scene.

“I wanted to break away from the usual with this game” said Jonathan Chey. “We’ve come up with brand new card play and deck-building mechanics, setting players challenges they’ve never seen before, all through the lens of discovering tabletop role-playing with your friends.”

Card Hunter is free to play, while everyone terrified of the idea of free-to-play games can also jump in with the launch special Basic Edition, which includes all the Treasure Hunt adventures, one month Card Hunter Club membership, nine extra figures and 100 slices of tasty Papa Manchu pizza, all for $25!
