Faqs

WHAT IS PARALLEL?

Parallel is a Sci-Fi Franchise and Trading Card Game (TCG) empowering collectors to truly own their cards and other game items. The cards can be used to build a deck and play in an online PC game which is currently in Open Beta.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY PARALLEL?

You will need at least one complete deck of a Parallel Faction. You can get a pro deck for free by downloading the game via the Epic Games Store.

‍A deck consists of 40 cards from a single Parallel, plus Universal cards. Universal cards do not belong to any Parallel and may be used in all decks. Each deck is limited to three copies of a card, except in the case of Legendary cards which are limited to one copy. This limitation applies to both the deck's Parallel-specific cards and Universal cards.

Decks can be composed from a mix of account-bound cards earned in-game, known as Apparitions, and tradable digitable collectables. You can create multiple decks and are not limited to a single Parallel.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY PARALLEL?

The minimum specs to play Parallel on PC are:
‍
- Windows 7 (64-bit version)
- Intel Core i5-10400 @2.90
- 4 GB RAM Nvidia GeForce 1060 6GB
- 4 GB available storage space
- DirectX 12

We are constantly optimizing our game to enable lower spec devices to play. We are also going to release Parallel on other devices (i.e. mobile) soon.

WHAT DOES PARALLEL HAVE TO DO WITH DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES?

Parallel is a free to play game that does not require players to own digital collectibles. However, if players choose to purchase digital cards via OpenSea they can use those cards in-game. Owning the Digital Collectible version of the cards gives you the opportunity to earn Parallel’s in-game token PRIME (when you win ranked matches). The purchase of digital collectables is subject to our terms of service.

DOES PARALLEL HAVE A COMPETITIVE LEAGUE?

We launched a competitive league in 2024 with the prize pool for Season 1 totalling $500,000. More details on our competitive league can be found on the League’s website.
