what is earlyverse?

Earlyverse is the expandable card game for early adopters and mischief makers.
Play with one or multiple friends and choose your universe! You can join the Earlyans of the Earlyverse and culturevate new planets with magic and whimsy or join the Mischievents of the Mischieverse and delay culturevation 1,000 years with mischief and mayhem.

It’s quite early. How will you shape the universe?

Where can I find Earlyverse?

Earlyverse Alpha is available to purchase on The Game Crafter! Purchase solo or join the community for discounted group pricing. Earlyverse Alpha is being sold AT COST with no markup to you.

  • Earlyverse is fresh out of the printing press of one person’s brain! That person, the creator, is not a designer nor a millionaire. And so, all current artwork for the game was developed by AI with all AI design prompts coming from the imaginations of the creator and his partner.

    Thus, the first iteration of the game is being sold as a “Alpha Set” while we grow the community and because the artwork is AI generated. Once we grow our Alpha community enough and once enough funds have been raised from the Beta Set, a lead designer (or team of designers) will be hired to develop the first set with the official and finalized artwork.

    Learn about the creator here and plans for the Earlyverse Alpha & Beta Eras here.

  • The Game Crafter charges game production based on quantity purchased. The more you buy together, the less expensive games are. We will be coordinating “purchase groups” in the community to get EarlyAdopters the most affordable price possible. We recommend joining the community for a more affordable price, but you are welcome to purchase it solo!

    Note that we are selling Earlyverse Alpha AT COST with no markup to you.

  • The Game Crafter allows independent game creators easily make, market, and produce new games. We’re so grateful for this platform while we grow the community and notoriety of the game.

A note from the creator

The fact that I’m writing this note after three years of developing this game is a dream come true, and I can’t thank you enough for being here.

I’ve been living in fantasy and sci-fi worlds since I spoke my first words, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” My love of the fantastic, the magical, and the unexplained through storytelling and the creation of whole new universes has been ever present throughout my life. From Star Wars to Dr. Who. To Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. To Dragonball Z and Super Mario. To Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. Now, in my mid-30’s, I’m still just a kid who finds comfort in losing myself in universes born from others’ imaginations.

I never planned on creating a universe of my own, though it now feels incredibly fitting that it happened. A product of combining my many years of playing trading card games with my many years of consuming stories of faraway worlds, Earlyverse feels like a part of me I’ve been waiting to discover my whole life.

I am always seeking inspiration, excitement, and community, and I’m hoping that you’re able to find that in the Earlyverse. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you…by starting at the beginning. The very early beginning.
