Avid Games Launches Wild Cards, a Faster Successor to CUE

Short matches with player trading aim to make the card‑battler genre easier to pick up with less paywall friction.

Overview

  • Wild Cards, which launched Wednesday, is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
  • Matches play out in quick bursts with small 12-card decks and a chosen hero, with reviews describing nine fast turns per game.
  • The roster mixes historical figures, animals, ancient gods and even celestial bodies, with each card carrying facts and abilities that create synergies.
  • The free-to-play game brings back player-to-player trading, giving users more control over collections and easing pressure to buy in-app items.
  • Avid positions the title as a faster follow-up to its hit CUE, which it says earned over $20 million and 5 million downloads, with more updates promised.
