Spain - September 25, 2025 - Independent studio Fatum Games is excited to announce that Ariokan’s Kickstarter has been funded in less than 24 hours.

Ariokan is the online collectible card game where players, like you, can create new (and balanced) official cards to invent new combos and break the "Meta". No floodgates, no 10-minutes turns, no pay-to-win. Generated cards can be unlocked by other players, contributing to an ever-growing library of cards!

The campaign, which obtained the “Project We Love" badge directly from Kickstarter and went live on Sept. 23rd 2025, was fully funded as of Sept. 24th, 2025, in less than 24 hours.

“Achieving the funding in such a short time shows that players really want to see Ariokan go on Early Access as soon as possible. As pioneers in a new generation of collectible card games where players can create their own cards, we'll do our best to keep delivering like we've been doing since the start of Ariokan's open Alpha 3 years ago.” says Paolo, CEO and Creative Director of Fatum Games. “The interesting part starts now. We are going to bring Ariokan to Steam, and make player's wildest dreams come true in an endless cycle of creativity.”
 

How Ariokan stands out from other titles in the genre

The top 3 things (+ a bonus one) that make Ariokan a new kind of online collectible card game are:

1. The card creation. You can invent cards to break the existing Meta and you’ll never face the same deck over and over again. On top of it, you can also tell your story with the cards you create.

2. The Legends, that can turn the tides of a match with awesome comebacks. Legends are the deadliest warriors of each Faction, and can obliterate enemies in this never-ending conflict. Legends can be summoned by completing mini-quests during the match.

3. The Gods, and the way they can make a deck behave in a complete different way.

4. A special game mode on top of the standard ones in which you can change the game rules to create your own custom games.

“Card games have always been about strategy and creativity, but too often players are forced into playing the same decks over and over especially if they want to compete.” say Paolo "Riku" Abela, Nicolò OcaLoca" Comi, and Umberto "BeatOnThePrat" Pellegrini - co-founders at Fatum Games. “With Ariokan, we’re giving the power back to the players. Every card you make is playable and part of the game’s living universe. We can’t wait to see what people invent once they get their hands on the editor”

Ariokan is not just a concept, it’s already in motion. Over 1,000 closed beta players have already created more than 8,000+ unique cards (as of Sept. 21st 2025), fueling 50+ official tournaments across the globe. This living, player-driven content ensures the game feels fresh every day, with new strategies constantly emerging.

Ariokan will be live on Kickstarter until Oct. 23rd. Rewards include the closed beta access. Additional Kickstarter exclusive rewards include, exclusive card backs, booster packs, and even creating your own Legend or God.

Voices from the Community
 

Influencers who previewed Ariokan have praised its unique gameplay and card creation:

“The gameplay is described as a back-and-forth action system, which makes the game very strategic and interactive. The custom card builder takes deck-building to a whole new level due to the creativity it allows.” Freshlobster (21900 subscribers on YouTube)

“Players have the power to overturn the meta and the game practically in every moment through card creation. The ability to build decks around the Legends’ summoning conditions is a core feature that adds a layer of depth.” ZioMaruth (5100 subscribers on YouTube)

“This has been some of the most fun I've had in a card game in a very long time. That loop of play, reflect, tweak, repeat... that hooked me even more than normal deck building because I could make that card that was missing" and “that moment seeing your design escape into the wild is something that no other trading card game has given me." knght Gaming (1100 subscribers on YouTube)
 

Ariokan’s players community on Discord showed the same enthusiasm:

“The freedom to build cards and decks, to create exactly what you want to play. That's what makes it stand out and what makes it unique as a card game.” Lignox

“Ariokan is the first card game where I’m not just playing. I’m creating, for real. The synergy between Gods and Factions feels like solving a living puzzle, and when a Legend hits the field, everything can turn in an instant. It’s strategic, unpredictable, and deeply personal, nothing else comes close.” Iry
