Information for Newcomers
This page is designed to give a comprehensive introduction to the WTactics project.
What You Need to Know
Our goal is to make a truly free and open source living customizable card game in the same genre as Magic: the Gathering and many other games like it, but without the collecting and expenses. WTactics will be in development and alive as long as there's people like you showing interest in it. WTactics is over two years old now and we have a solid team of developers with a progress that is accelerating. We're excited that you have shown interest in the project, and we'd really love to have your help in developing with us. Our survival is in your hands! The number one rule in all free libre open source project is as true as ever: "Want this done? Then you have to either do it yourself or pay somebody else to do it."
