We’re always on the lookout for the next breakout TCG — and sometimes, it’s the small indie titles that spark the most curiosity and community.
Otherverse is one of those rare finds.
Launched via Kickstarter (just like Backrooms TCG which we covered earlier) and fueled by a tight-knit group of passionate backers, Otherverse isn’t just another trading card game with flashy dragons (though it does have some very cool dragons). It’s the beginning of an entire cross-media universe — one that spans cards, manga, anime, and even a video game.
But at the core of it all? A heartfelt mission:
“The true reason is to bring humans together and enjoy a hobby for good passion,” says the creator.
Let’s break it down.
What is Otherverse?
Otherverse is a relatively new trading card game set in a fantasy multiverse with an anime-style aesthetic and deep lore foundations. It’s driven by character cards, textured variants, and highly limited promo runs — which are already PSA gradeable, adding a layer of collector legitimacy early on.
Unlike some quick-flip cash-grab projects, Otherverse is built with intention:
- Physical gameplay with real mechanics
- Character-driven design and narrative
- Ongoing releases building toward a full entertainment franchise
Card Releases Timeline (So Far)
| Release | Details |
|---|---|
| Sample Cards | Very limited early cards; highly collectible and expensive at the moment, can only be found in secondary markets like eBay (sponsored link). |
| Set 1 – Hidden Void | The first official booster set. |

These drops are often limited, with texture variants, serialized runs, and exclusivity that make them highly attractive to collectors.
Why It Matters
In a TCG landscape dominated by big IPs and mass production, Otherverse is something different — and deeply personal. What started as a solo project has grown into a full-blown indie universe. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Authenticity — no corporate gloss, just one creator’s genuine passion.
- Collectibility — serialized, limited, and already PSA-graded by some collectors.
- Community roots — from charity auctions to grassroots support via Kickstarters, it’s growing from the ground up.
- Future scope — with plans for a manga, anime, and video game, it’s clearly more than just cards.
Creator Spotlight: Sam from Otherverse
While Otherverse has the makings of a full-blown media universe, it began as something far more personal — and passionate. Here’s what Sam, the creator, had to say:
“Hi, I’m Sam, the creator of Otherverse TCG. This game started as a personal passion project — just me, a few ideas, and a lot of late nights. I wanted to create a trading card game that brought together beautiful art, meaningful characters, and collectible cards that actually feel special.”
“Otherverse is all about limited drops, incredible art, and a story that unfolds card by card. Every character we introduce has a place in a larger world, and every promo we release is part of that journey. We don’t mass-produce. We focus on quality, care, and making each drop feel like a real event.”
“We just sold out our Dragon Princess collector promo — only 100 copies were made. Next up is Crystal Fang, a powerful Ice Dragon that continues the story. These cards are printed in small numbers and once they’re gone, that’s it. No reprints. No restocks.”
“If you’re someone who loves collecting unique cards, discovering new stories, and supporting independent creators — this is for you. You don’t have to be a hardcore TCG player. You just have to care about cool cards and good storytelling.”
— Sam
