About

Chron X is an online collectible card game and a turn-based strategy game in which an individual battles an opponent over the internet in a cyberpunk setting. Players choose between an arsenal of agents, weapons, programs, and resources chosen from your deck of virtual cards.

Chron X was the first online trading card game, first released by Genetic Anomalies in May 1997. The original game designer was George Moromisato, with later sets designed by Andrea Shubert, Dan Collins, and Ian Schreiber. Pete Bodenheimer and Slava Zatchuny also contributed to set development.

Reception

The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "ChronX, the world's premiere Internet collectible card game. Here you will find that all is not as it seems. The goal is a familiar one -- "go forth and destroy thy enemy" -- however, in ChronX there is one slight problem. Before you can even think about calling an Air Cavalry strike you have to find your opponent."
