Creator’s Statement – Todd Hoerter

Metabaloids was born from a simple idea: trading card games should be easy to learn, exciting to play, and fun to share with others.

After years of playing complex games that took hours to finish and pages of rules to understand, I wanted to create something different — a true multiplayer TCG that anyone could pick up, play, and enjoy in minutes.

I designed Metabaloids to bring people together — families, friends, and new players alike. The game rewards strategy and timing, but never forgets its purpose: to have fun. Each card reflects a piece of nature’s balance, combining the wonder of science with the thrill of competitive play.

My goal is simple — to give players a reason to look up from their screens, gather around a table, and experience that spark of connection that only a great game can bring. If this game gets more people interested in nature, science, or just spending time with others, then I’ve done my job.
