“Become an inventor, pioneer and maverick and play Switzerland’s first trading card game that combines the real and virtual world.”
Innovetica is the strategic trading card game developed in Switzerland and involves innovative and creative thinking. It can be played in real life with up to three friends or virtually via an app. The app has been launched in Switzerland and is completely free.
In November 2018, the second season «Season 2: Rise of the Pioneers» introduces new hero characters based on celebrities such as Swiss magician Peter Marvey and the Action Cards which are especially interesting for strategic gameplay.
In the app you gain new cards while playing. Using the QR code scanner you can also get new digital cards. QR codes are available on real booster packs, so called Flowpacks and in print media and on online blogs. In the launch week in 2017, physical cards were given away free with a purchase from various partners. Starting in 2018, physical cards are given away at Innovetica Masters eSport tournaments and at fairs.
The game has been retired at the end of 2022 and is being continued in a new skin at playbookofbeasts.com and in the app «Book of Beasts».
