The Historical TCG

In The History of Everything, you build a deck from hundreds of unique cards depicting a wide variety of historical people, creations, and events through fun TCG gameplay.

Your deck can also mix and match up to three different classes, with over a hundred different possible combinations.

Fun comes first

You can compete to be the best on a truly level playing field, you can try out any deck that takes your fancy, and if you enjoy making your own janky decks you can experiment freely with whatever strange ideas you like. Once you own the game, you’re free to enjoy everything in it, as it should be.

Bring your friends
