What it is

Each Parallel has distinct cards and tactics that combine with universal cards for energy decisions, board trades and win conditions. Free Early Access is available for Windows PC through the Epic Games Store. Regular card-game progression can be used without a wallet. An external wallet becomes relevant only for digital collectibles or $PRIME, so those functions are not counted as start requirements.

Parallel is a science-fiction trading card game where players choose among five factions and compete with 30-card decks of units, effects and energy decisions. Energy grows each turn, creating a choice between developing the board and disrupting the opponent, while faction-specific mechanics shape each deck’s route to victory. Free starter decks cover the core match loop, so buying NFT cards is not required at the beginning. The current Epic Games Early Access path is for Windows PC, and neither account creation nor free matches require a crypto wallet. Wallet conditions become relevant for ownership, trading and connected services. Japanese is not listed among the current store languages, while a Japan-facing product page is available.
