Trading card games were one of the first genres to make on-chain ownership meaningful — cards are discrete, tradeable units, so the ownership claim maps cleanly onto them. These are the card battlers and TCGs in our verified registry, from Gods Unchained and Splinterlands through Parallel and Skyweaver to newer entrants like Acryptia and Brawlers. Every entry is evidence-dated — unusually for this space, all seven are currently playable and maintained, with one (Parallel) still in early access.
