How do you kick off a new year after the best in The Spoils history? Between winning the Origins Award for Fan-Favorite Collectible Card Game, selling out of several older products, releasing three new offerings and totally updating our online presence, 2015 will be a tough year to beat. But going into our Tenth Anniversary year, we think we know how to celebrate a decade of card play decadence. With a campaign of ungodly victory! And it all starts with you!

In 2016, The Spoils Card Game is poised to release more products than in our entire history with an eye towards updating our rules to focus on new players. First up is the exciting conclusion of the Unlikely Heroes Cycle, in which our main characters must destroy a living mass of tentacles with untold power traipsing about as a god before it can be harnessed to destroy the world. The set is aptly titled Ungodly Mess, and brings 150 brand-new cards to the table. Ungodly Mess introduces a new rarity – Uber Rares – extremely powerful cards that will add new strategies and even new win conditions to the mix.

In addition, our ultra rare “Epoch” edition chase set, included randomly in Ungodly Mess booster packs, gives veteran players a chance to recapture vintage favorites, and gives a hint of the beautiful new layouts to come in future Spoils offerings.

That’s not all we’ve got in store for Ungodly Mess, but we’re going to have to keep the rest a secret for now. Make sure to check out our Facebook, Twitter, and website for more details.

New products aren’t the only smorgasbord of awesome we’ve got cooking in 2016. We've traveled the world and spoken to card players everywhere and found that there's a hunger for fun, casual play that doesn't take itself too seriously. Enter Victors Organized Play.

We're selecting three-hundred stores in the US to become our first partners in spreading the spoils of Victors to the card players of America. Victors stores receive a package that comes with everything they need to succeed, including two posters, one-thousand stickers, a window decal, twenty playcards, and two-hundred exclusive promos. Here’s the best part – becoming a Victors store is totally free!

"I'm a player, not a store. What's this mean to me?"

A chance to play your most fun, highly casual, never-gonna-win a tournament deck for fun, and still earn yourself free exclusive promos. All you have to do is play, be it with a starter deck, a homebrew, a net deck, or what our R&D team affectionately calls a “sheer pile” of cards. No matter what level of player you are, we’ve thought of you. (Sweet of us, no?)

With our brand-new format, Spoiled Rotten, no deck idea goes unplayed and no fun is wasted. The idea is simple: stores host Spoiled Rotten once a week and play no matter how many show up to participate. Players are given a playcard and for every win or loss, they get a sticker. Five stickers nets you a slick promo, unavailable anywhere else.

Spoiled Rotten is the perfect venue to try out your craziest decks, sweetest strategies, and ultimate dueling desires. It's a fun, casual environment that lets new players join without worrying about getting beat up by the more experienced pros, and let's the veterans among us tutor new players for competitive play. Spoiled Rotten is all about recapturing that first sense of excitement when cracking packs, chasing rares, pulling out trade binders, and trying new strategies was the end all be all to the card gaming world. All of us here at The Spoils are rabid card players through and through – we miss that first jolt of discovery when playing a new game. We’ve designed Spoiled Rotten to turbocharge you week after week.

“Casual is okay I guess, but I’m a pro. Thanks anyway.”

Hold on there, sport! The Spoils was born and bred to be a competitive card game (don’t let the 1,337 speak, literal fat cat bankers, and Abominable Hamster-style cards fool you). That's where our brand-new player portal and tournament software comes in. It's easier than ever to sign up and get going. Simply create a profile, choose whether you're a player or a retailer, and start hosting tournaments. We’ve created a revolutionary Google Chrome Plug-In for tournament software that syncs seamlessly with the player portal to keep track of leaderboards, tournaments, player points, and a retailer's Tier. The more events hosted, the higher the Tier, which means different and unique prizes.

Player Points aren’t just for bragging rights (although we won’t be mad if you brag). They can be redeemed for byes and invitations to bigger events, including our Spoils Championship held at Gen Con 2016.

“Keep talking.”

Your friendly local game store, through their Retailer player portal profile, can purchase unique tournaments hosted by the iconic characters in our game world, like Rudo Mangod's Dragonweight Championship, to earn their players extra points, dice, playmats, and Micomajig tokens made from pewter. 350 points gets you free entry into the Spoils Championships, byes, and more.

We’re also proud to announce the newest addition to Victors Organized Play: the Victors Circuit, hosted in partnership with Alter Reality Games, coming to cities all over the country. For those seeking the thrill of competitive play, these regional style events are for you. Earn cash prizes, badges to Gen Con, invites to The Spoils Championship, and much more.

Don’t have The Spoils in your store? Not yet? Our newly rehashed Ambassador Program gives you the chance to host demos at your local store and earn unique Ambassador Rewards Points that are stored in the Player Portal and can be redeemed for unique promos, playmats, prizes, and product. Don’t have a store near you? Post a Spoils-related Youtube video. Record a podcast. Create a fan site. If you’re championing the cause of Victors Organized Play, we want you to reap the sweet, sweet Spoils of your Ambassadorial pursuits.

So, how do you kick off the Tenth Anniversary of one of the naughtiest, silliest, most strategic card games on the market? By making everyone a Victor, and leading the charge for unabashed fun!
