The official Origins TCG Discord server serves as the primary communication hub for Origins Trading Card Game, developed by Koin Games. Players use the server to obtain instructions for private playtest builds, register for competitive events, submit decklists, and report technical bugs directly to the development team.
You can join the community using the official Discord server: discord.gg/originstcg.
What the Origins TCG Discord Is Used For
The community server organizes playtests, community feedback, and competitive structures while the game remains in development.
| Server Section | Primary Purpose | Key Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Announcements & AMAs | Official studio updates | Developer Q&As with CEO Tim and Head of Game Design Kevin |
| Playtest Onboarding | Build distribution | Access keys and instructions for expanded test builds |
| Tournament Organization | Competitive play | Sign-ups, match pairings, Conquest deck submissions, and check-ins |
| Bug Reports & Support | Account and client help | Direct support tickets for errors such as the 0.21% loading freeze |
| Deck Discussion | Strategy and theorycrafting | Card synergy discussions, balance debates, and replay analysis |
Accessing Playtest Builds Through Discord
The public Steam demo allows users to complete introductory missions and test basic cards, but it caps content once introductory challenges conclude. Players seeking the latest updates can access the game's Playtest build by following instructions provided inside the server.
- Join the server through discord.gg/originstcg.
- Locate the designated playtest information channel.
- Follow the pinned instructions to activate the playtest client on Steam.
- Download the updated client to test newly added cards, full deckbuilding menus, and ranked ladder matches ahead of general demo releases.
Developer updates confirm that progress made across either the demo or the playtest carries forward to newer versions, saving players from having to re-earn cards.
Tournament Registration and Conquest Rules
Competitive play in Origins TCG is coordinated entirely through the server and automated bots such as TourneyBot. Events like the Big Bobs Playtest Battle and the Crimson Cup manage participant brackets and match rooms directly in Discord channels.
How to Enter Server Tournaments
- Check the
#tournaments-to-joinchannel for upcoming event announcements and registration links. - Confirm your participation on tournament day by completing the mandatory check-in prompt.
- Enter the automated match channel generated by the bot to meet your assigned opponent.
- Join the private room in the Origins TCG client to play your match.
- Submit final match results through the bot interface once the series concludes.
Tournament Deckbuilding and Match Rules
Tournament qualifiers frequently utilize the Conquest format, requiring players to submit three distinct decks prior to the bracket start:
- Each submitted deck must feature a different legendary card.
- Pairings between decks must feature at least 8 to 9 different cards to prevent running identical lists.
- Players veto one of their opponent's three decks prior to starting games.
- Matches are typically played in a best-of-three series where winning with a deck retires it from the remainder of that match.
- Timers enforce active participation: an opponent who fails to respond or veto within 10 minutes concedes the first game, and forfeits the match if absent after an additional 10 minutes.
Direct Developer Support and Ticket System
Steam community moderators frequently direct users experiencing client errors to Discord for technical resolution. Issues such as the demo getting stuck during launch at 0.21% loading progress are handled by submitting an internal support ticket. Opening a ticket allows developers to review specific account identifiers and resolve the issue.
Developer interactions also take place during scheduled voice and text AMAs. Leadership members, including CEO Tim and Game Design Lead Kevin, answer community questions regarding location balancing, upcoming sets such as Myths & Legends, and the digital trading marketplace planned for full launch.
