The Digimon Card Game Tutorial App, available for IOS and Android devices, has been updated to include the new Wolf of Friendship and Dragon of Courage starter decks. The app is a fantastic tool for learning how to play the Digimon TCG because it offers easy to follow instructions of some fundamental mechanics. The inclusion of the newest starter decks mean that beginners can begin by learning the new ACE mechanics. If you are interested in picking up the Digimon TCG, I recommend you check out the app. I can only hope that this update will one day lead to an online client so that I can play this card game from the comfort of my home.
Bandai has also released an ambiguous trailer for a new project. It featured a new Digimon and a series of words that make me think that we may get some sort of anime or short to push the game. I can only hope that we get a web client, but there is too little information to know for sure. Whatever this is, I am excited and can’t wait to learn more!

The Kickstarter for Spasms of Stupidity: Quest for the Void is now live. Spasms of Stupidity is an auto-battler coming to Steam and Epic Games. The game is worth looking into if you are a fan of the classic Sega Saturn game, DragonForce. Spasms of Stupidity promises a modern twist to the classic with a neat combat system, interesting skill tree mechanics, and the ability to command your legion of demons. The rogue-like campaign and the countless amounts of customization promise players endless hours of gameplay. Make sure you check out the Kickstarter for a more complete breakdown of the game.
The game looks neat, and I can see it doing well in the niche it fills. If you want to support the project, $16 gets you a copy of the game, your name in the credits, and early access to the game. Make sure you check the Kickstarter for the other goodies.
It’s always a risk to back a Kickstarter, but someone has to support the little guys. This is a one-person team developing the game, so expect some delays. That said, if you are looking for a very indie Roguelike with a solid retro vibe, check the Spasms of Stupidity Kickstarter. The Kickstarter ends on December 1st.

The 7th Guest is a mystery adventure game for the Quest 2, Steam VR, and PSVR2. Seven guests have been invited to a mysterious mansion to play a dangerous game run by a nefarious toy maker. Guests must spend the night exploring the creepy mansion, solving its puzzles, and unfolding its mysteries. But the games aren’t as innocent as they appear. There is a sinister secret lurking in the shadows. Can you figure out what it is?
If you enjoy puzzle games, The 7th Guest should be in your library. This game looks amazing! The sounds, the graphics, and the aesthetic all work perfectly together to create the appropriate ambiance for the mystery it houses. The cutscenes are beautifully implemented, with wonderful actors to bring the story to life. I would play this game just to watch the performances. I love the story and went out of my way to make sure I collected every piece of the mystery. You might be able to solve it pretty early on, but it won’t matter.
The best part of this game is its puzzles. Each room in the mansion has a unique theme and set of puzzles. The themes are a lot of fun, and the puzzles get creative. Guests must clear the elaborate set of puzzles, and each solution uncovers uncomfortable secrets. There is a reason why the guests were gathered, and I had a lot of fun piecing together why.
The gameplay loop feels a lot like the Saw movies, except without any of the gore. You play a special recording and make your way through puzzles. The puzzles are challenging but manageable. If you get stuck, the game lets you buy clues with the currency it hides around the house. I never ran out of coins for clues, but I never really felt the need to use them much. My only complaint is that some puzzles aren’t easy to find, at least not intuitively. There were a few puzzles I needed to buy a hint in order to find it. It isn’t a huge deal because you’ll finish the game with more currency than you need, but it is an issue worth mentioning.
I loved this game because I love puzzles. Each room I cleared left me feeling accomplished, and hungry for more. The game runs great, it looks amazing, and it has a fantastic story. If you like escape rooms, or are looking for a good puzzle game, The 7th Guest should be in your library.
You can pick up The 7th Guest for the Quest 2, Steam VR, and PSVR2 for $29.99. It’s definitely worth it at that price.
Holidays are just around the corner which means Digimon TCG is getting a new Gift Box. This year’s Gift Box features the newest set, Blast Ace. The box includes:
4 x Blast Ace Boosters
1/4 Unique Acrylic Sheet with memory gauge and damage counters
1/4 promo cards
MSRP for the Gift box is $19.99, which isn’t a bad deal if you want to add the promos to your collection. My problem with these kits is that you only get one copy of the promos. I’d love it if it came with at least two, but I guess I can’t blame them for trying to move product.
Both the Gift Box and the Blast Ace expansion release on November 17. Make sure you pick yours up at your LGS. If that isn’t an option, I’d hold off getting it off TCG Player because the scalpers are ripping you off. I’d wait till it comes to a big box store like Target, or preorder it off GameNerds ($19.97 + shipping).
I’ll end the Blast Acereveals on what has been consistently my favorite color in the card game, purple. Purple always seems to include my favorite Digimon, and the vibe is always good. We have a Loogamon line, which looks amazing! I am very excited to see it materialize in the web novel. You can also check out my version where I try to clean up the translation. I am a huge fan of the art, and any set that includes more Globimon and Ogremon wins me over instantly.
Blast Acereleases on November 17. Always support your LGS by preordering products through them, but you can always find Blast Aceand any other Digimon Product, on TCG Player using my affiliate links. If you enjoy these updates, please like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
And a bonus Colorless because it didn’t fit anywhere else
Blast Ace releases on November 17th, so let’s keep the reveals going with the black card list. I am very excited to see characters from the Digimon Seekers web novel pop up in the card game. Black has lots of fun colors and some iconic scenes and characters from the web novel. I love the Neo Tokyo vibe of some f these cards, and all the different Numemon are a nice treat.
You can read the Digimon Seekers web novel on the official website, but I’ve also been working on cleaning up the translation on my blog. Check them out when you have a chance!

Thank you for keeping up with this project! I know these last few chapters have been a little slow, but I’ll keep doing my best to make them work. Make sure you always support the official release, and check out my version the following Monday.

Eventually, each founder had a Digimon partner. Saya had the bipedal dinosaur Digimon, Agumon. Kosuke’s partner was the ladybug-like Digimon, Tentamon. Yulin had the strange plant reptile, Palmon. Its leafy limbs ended in root-like tendrils, and a massive flower grew out of its head.

Eventually, each founder had a Digimon partner. Saya had the bipedal dinosaur Digimon, Agumon. Kosuke’s partner was the ladybug-like Digimon, Tentamon. Yulin had the strange plant reptile, Palmon. Its leafy limbs ended in root-like tendrils, and a massive flower grew out of its head.
Saya, Kosuke, Yulin, and the professor gather in the secret test chamber away from the factory floor. Around them, the air fills with the whirring of servers and computers. The tables are filled with unfinished gadgets and notes. Saya wakes peacefully from her test, and the four get busy looking over the latest batch of test results.
“That’s it for today,” Yulin says as she submits the last bit of data. “The image is still blurry and pixelated. There is still no color, and all I can hear is static.”
“That’s a hardware issue,” Kosuke says looking up from his notes. “We need more processing power.”
“We’re so close…”Ryusenji trails off in his disappointment. Silence falls over the group as they continue to make notes and study the results. “We have to see the Digital world. The tests here are fine for now, but we need to get into their world somehow….If we could get into the Net and somehow control the Digimon…” The dangers of mindlink left them little room for error.
“I wonder what the Digital World looks like. Would we even recognize it?” Yulin says in her daze.
“The Digital World has its own systems similar to Earth’s,” the professor mumbles.
“What was that Professor?” The three turn to him curiously.
“I believe that these AI creatures exist in their own natural order. They have a food chain, evolution, and are forced to survive many environmental dangers….” The professor trails off as his mind drifts to a different problem. The students had grown used to the professor’s scattered grumblings. They fill in the blanks as he continues to mumble to himself incoherently.
“How’s work on the retrieval tools going? What is our failure rate at now?” Yulin asks bluntly.
“With our current toolset, our success rate is above 80%,” Kosuke answers.
“We’re treding on undiscovered ground. It is unreasonable for our initial results to be perfect, but we’ll get there. I know a solution is within our reach. Science is full of moments where the impossible is made possible, and I just know we’ll be the ones to do it,” Ryusenji says enthusiastically.
They dubbed the program, Tartarus. Like the many explorers before them, they would not rest until they set foot in the Digital World.
The night before Tartarus’s official launch, Yuli, Kosuke, and Saya visit the plot of land that would become Tokyo University of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Their breath hangs in the frigid air as they look over the empty plot of land. Heavy machines sat to one side, but construction hadn’t started.
“Can’t believe this will all be a university,” Saya muses.
The three stood quietly in the dark of night. The cold air makes Kosuke shiver as he puts his hands in his pockets. The light of a nearby vending machine catches his eye. He makes his way over.
Yulin fumbles a pair of car keys into her pocket. “What possessed you to come all the way out here tonight?” She asks Saya. Yulin’s voice shakes from the cold.
“Don’t you want to see where we’re gunna work one day? I just wanted to check it out.”
“I guess we will be working here…”Yulin’s voice trails off.
“This is the only chance we’ll get to see it empty. Soon it’ll be full of buildings, people, and dreams…”
“Mhmm” Yulin says, not paying attention.
“I hope we’re all still together ten years from now.” Saya grips her Digimon Dock tightly. She raises the LCD screen towards the plot. “See this Agu? It’s going to be a whole new town. I hope it will be easy for you and the other Digimon to live here.”
The small pixelated Agumon looks back and forth on his screen, studying its surroundings.
“You talk to that thing all the time, huh?” Yulin asks.
“Don’t you talk to Palmon?”
“Um…well…” Yulin stumbles for an answer. Talking to her Digimon never crossed her mind.
“I mean it’s not that crazy. People talk to their pets and plants all the time. If Digimon don’t know human language, maybe they can start learning. If Digimon could understand us, we wouldn’t need special tools to control them.”
“Yeah, that would be handy.”
“Regardless of what you think,” Saya begins as she looks down at her dock, “I’m pretty sure Agu understands me.” She lets out a loving smile. “Right Agu?!” Saya turns her attention back to Yulin. “At least I’m pretty sure someone’s talking to me when I’m mindlinked.”
“So our partners can talk to us when we’re linked? And you never reported that?”
“You have to keep it a secret,” Saya pleads woridly. “If they think I’m hearing things, they’ll kick me off the project!”
Saya’s fears weren’t unfounded. While she was the most promising candidate, she took the longest to adjust to the mindlink and still struggled with her nausea. Regardless of the numbers, they were ready to replace her with a more suitable candidate the moment she outlived her usefulness.
“What does it say?” Yulin asks, changing the subject.
“I don’t know, but it feels..friendly? Like its calling my name, or its happy to see me. It’s just like you said.”
“What I said?”
“Connecting with Digimon is incredible…and incredibly dangerous.”
“We think we’ve discovered the Digital World, but what if we’re the ones being discovered?”
“All the more reason to continue with our studies. It’s too late to keep our worlds separated now.” A silence falls over them for a moment. “You know? My dad thinks you’re the most important member of the team.”
“Me?”
Saya nods. “You make this feel official. Like a real company.”
The sudden compliment stuns Yulin. She doesn’t know how to respond.
“When ever we make a mistake or lose focus, you’re the only one who can get us back on track.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I know it’s a lot…”
“It’s freezing! I can’t believe the vending machine still has cold drinks in winter,” Kuske grumbles as he walks back to the girls, holding three hot drinks in his arms. He hands each girl one.
“We can head back if you’re ready to go,” Yulin offers as she accepts her drink.
“Let’s stay a little longer,” Saya asks. She holds her drink tightly.
“I’m good either way. It’s nice to have a moment to zone out for a bit.” Kosuke takes a sip of his drink. “
“I’ll wait in the car then,” Yulin says as she walks away. She turns on the car and turns up the heat. She looks over at Kosuke and Saya as they huddle together and stare up into the night sky. The glow of the construction lights washes over them. Yulin takes a moment to snap a picture.
