What is Parallel?
Parallel is a sci-fi universe from Parallel Studios with Parallel TCG, a free-to-play digital card game, and Colony: Survival, an AI-powered mobile game. Cards exist as ERC-1155 collectibles on Ethereum, and owning them can earn PRIME. The game does not require a web3 wallet.
How Parallel works
In Parallel TCG you pick one of five Parallels (Augencore, Earthen, Kathari, Marcolian or The Shroud) and build a 40-card deck from that faction plus Universal cards.
A deck may hold at most three copies of a card and one copy of a Legendary. Decks can mix Apparitions, which are account-bound cards earned in play, with tradable card collectibles. Winning matches can earn PRIME, which the game page says you use to expand your deck and compete at higher levels.
Each tradable card is an ERC-1155 token on Ethereum with a fixed edition size that cannot be increased. The base set closed with its final pack drop on January 14, 2023. The terms describe PRIME as tokens, rewards or credits recorded on Ethereum or another supported network. Colony: Survival is a separate free mobile 4X game where you talk to an AI colonist and can generate 3D gear using Weave, its in-game currency.
How to start with Parallel
- Download Parallel TCG for Windows from Epic or Steam; the minimum spec page lists 64-bit Windows 7, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce 1060 6GB and 4 GB of free storage.
- Create a Parallel account to play.
- To buy or hold card collectibles, the terms say you need a digital wallet such as MetaMask.
- Colony: Survival is on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Parallel fees and limits
Both games are free to download. Colony: Survival is free with optional in-app purchases, and its AI-generated 3D gear costs Weave, the Fabricator currency. Card collectibles are sold separately from the free account-bound Apparitions. Any Ethereum transaction requires a network fee, which the terms say is set by the network and paid to it, not to Parallel.
Risks to know before using Parallel
- The terms state that trades of cards or PRIME outside the Parallel app are entirely at your own risk and that Parallel gives no warranty on the price or value of PRIME.
- Blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed.
- If a payment is reversed or charged back, Parallel may set your balance below zero, block purchases, trades and withdrawals, or suspend your account until the shortfall is paid.
