Gameplay
Nationstates Worlds is a card game set initially in the Realms Multiverse, but has expanded to other universes in 2050. Players can compete against each other or the AI in one-on-one combat (except in the Alliance format). Players choose from ten starting party leaders (often shortened to just Leaders), each coming from one class. All classes have unique cards and abilities, known as leader skills, which help define class archetypes. Each player uses a deck of cards from their collection with the end goal being to reduce the opponent's health to zero.
There are 4 different types of cards: units, commands, weapons, and leaders. These cards are ordered by rarity, with Gold cards being the rarest, followed by Silver, Bronze, and Stone. Serdadu releases expansions of additional cards every quarter, as well as smaller mini-sets and odd packs between expansions and on multiple special days such as International Men's Day or Lunar New Year, to increase the variety in the metagame. The game uses a freemium model of revenue, meaning players can play for free or pay to acquire additional card packs or content.
Formats
- Standard, the one of the first formats introduced, has the player start with a 40-card deck (s)he assembles his/herself. In this format, the player is matched against another based on his/her rank. Every win awards the player with one star, while two losses in a row results in the deduction of one star. Three stars are required for the player to advance in rank.
