Mind Incarnated: Origin
A downloadable game
Mind Incarnated: Origins is a Print & Play project that takes you back to the beginnings of Mind Incarnated.
Mind Incarnated is a strategic tabletop card game. Instead of relying on hidden information or luck, the game focuses on planning, counterplay, and tactical decision-making. Both players have access to the same information and must outsmart each other through strategy rather than chance.
Between 2003 and 2015, nearly 300 cards were drawn entirely by hand using pencils, colored pencils, and fineliners. Warriors, mages, dragons, gods, demons, witches, and many other beings were brought to life on paper.
This Print & Play set contains a selection of those original cards and captures the spirit of the early development of Mind Incarnated.
Unlike the modern version of Mind Incarnated, Origins does not include Mystics. It intentionally reflects the game's original design.
Even back then, one core idea shaped the project: battles should feel like true duels between powerful beings rather than simple comparisons of numbers. Every card was an attempt to capture a character, a battle, or a new idea on paper and bring it to life through imagination.
These cards reveal the origins of many characters, creatures, and concepts that would go on to shape the world of Mind Incarnated. Long before digital tools or modern illustrations became part of the project, this universe was created with nothing more than paper, pens, and imagination.
This package includes
- A selection of original hand-drawn cards created between 2003 and 2015
- Early versions of characters, creatures, and gameplay concepts
- A look into the creative evolution of the project
- English and German documents
Mind Incarnated: Origins is not a polished modern product. It is a journey back to the creative roots of the project—a time when every card was drawn by hand and every new idea first came to life on paper.
If you're curious to see how it all began, you're invited to explore the early origins of Mind Incarnated.
