CIDWaM

A Card Game for the Rest of Us

Welcome to the homepage of CIDWaM (Cards I Done Went and Made). CIDWaM is a trading card game of strategy, played on a 6x6 grid. Every card has its price, and if you pay, they’ll protect you. Plan ahead and make tactical movements to slip through your opponent’s defenses and attack them directly, or use the brute strength of your combatants and the raw power of your magical spells to dominate the battlefield. FFO: Chess, Magic: the Gathering, Flesh and Blood, Dungeons and Dragons

This is a card game system that has been a passion project of mine for about eight years. It started as, pretty much, a Magic: the Gathering clone, with the serial numbers filed off. Then, as I changed and grew as a game designer, the game reflected that. Now, it's pretty much its own thing, though it wears its influences on its sleeve. I don't have plans for overarching lore, instead leaving it open as more of a system akin to VS, Weiss Schwartz, or the original idea of Wizards of the Coast's Deckmaster.

Finally, after a good amount of designing and personal testing, I've reached the limit of what I can do without substantial playtesting. So it's time to move into an Open Alpha stage! This website will be updated soon with card images and the rulebook.

CIDWaM is looking for artists and graphic designers! Unfortunately, I don't foresee making money off of this project, so I have very little that I can compensate you with. However, I'm not going to ask you to work pro bono or "for exposure". Reach out at playcidwam@gmail.com if you're interested!
