About Time Turner

''The Time Turner is a small silver hour glass worn on a chain around the neck. It is a very powerful and dangerous magical item, which literally turns back time for the user.''


Welcome to Time Turner, a Harry Potter based TCG run by Fran. I have seen many TCG's come and go in my time (some being my own), and have decided to re-open up one I previously owned, in the hopes of success. The success of this TCG however does not just rely on me, we need members, so read below and get joining!

What is a 'TCG'?

'TCG' stands for Trading Card Game, the aim of a trading card game is to collect cards, and trade them in order to become the 'Master' of a certain set. Just like in real life trading games, but Free!

Trade Posts

Before you join any TCG, you will need a trade post. This is a web space on which you can display your cards and items. On your trade post you must include -

  • Statistics about the TCG, this will be a link back to Time Turner, a level badge indicating your current level a card count and the number of decks you have mastered.
  • Mastering/Collecting deck (displayed with filler cards) in order to allow members to see with deck you are collecting.
  • Saving/Keeping cards need to be seperated from the cards you are willing to offer for trade. These cards are for decks you wish to collect in the future.
  • Trading Cards are the cards you are willing to swap with other members, these must be clearly seperate from the other catagories.
  • Items & Currency needs to be displayed somewhere on your trade post, I suggest on the statistics page, but that is up to you.
  • A Trade Log needs to be kept as a record of where all your cards and items have come from. This is the most important part of your trade post.


    • Your trade post must not direct link, in other words, upload your cards on your own server, or a free image host.

    Starter Packs

    Once you have filled out your join form an email will be sent to me, and I will email you back within 2-3 days with your starter pack.

    When you join, you will recieve in your starter pack -
  • 3x cards from collecting deck
  • 4x Random Cards
  • 1x Sickle, 2x Knuts


    • You must not play games untill you have recieved your starter pack. Once you have your starter pack up on your trade post please let me know, so I can take you off pending. If you do not have your starter pack up within 2 weeks you will be removed and will have to join again.

    • Leveling Up

    Once you have earnt a certain number of cards you can begin to progress to your next level. Some levels require you to have certain items before you can move up. These can be bought from Diagon Alley. Below are the level requirements -

    Trading

    Trading is what the game is all about. It is possible to master decks without trading, however trading allows it to be much quicker, it means your more involved with other members, and you can also get rewards from trading.

    Mastering

    Mastering a deck, is when you collect all the cards available in one deck. For mastering a deck you will recieve 2 cards of choice & 2 random cards. Once you have mastered the deck you cannot trade the cards, and you must keep displaying the deck on your trade post, along with your master badge. Make sure you log your masteries, every 10 mastered sets earns you 2 cards of choice.
