[edit] Gameplay

The TCG pulls players into the Stargate universe as they put their favorite characters together to form a team and send them through the gate to accomplish missions. New gameplay lets characters “learn” from their accomplishments and mistakes to increase their capabilities. There are three different ways to possibly win: Earning experience points, collecting glyphs, or scoring Adversaries.

[edit] Online gameplay

The online version of the game will be identical to the standard game and contain the same cards. However, being online it will give players the advantage of a more diverse group of opponents to play against at any time of day or night. Also, it will include an online deck builder and card management systems, to make it easy to manage your physical and virtual collections. There will also be online tournaments and leagues, with rewards of free cards and increased player rankings in worldwide standings. Finally, Sony Online plans to have a redemption program known as “through the gate”. This will allow players to collect the full set of digital cards, and then redeem them online for physical cards.^[2] The online game went into open beta on 3/21/07.
