Introduction
Alteil is an online flash-based “online card dueling game” that you can play for free. It is NOT a trading card game for the simple reason that you can’t actually trade cards with other players. The card duels are semi fast-paced, flashy, and really fun. According to the official website, Alteil is the “English version of Japan’s #1 Online Card Game.” It is made with flash so Alteil requires no long downloads. Different screens take only seconds to load, which is great to play a quick match or two when you feel like it. For a quick rundown of what Alteil is like go to the official Alteil website.
Alteil has an interesting background story behind it that they keep updating, which helps immerse players into the game’s world. Japanese games are famous for having lots of story and this game is no exception.
