After Cryptozoic stopped producing the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game company tried to raise money in Kickstarter, which is a crowdfudning platform. They collected $2.2 million for a new digital card game named
Hex. Such success hasn't been missed by the biggest player in TCGs.
Wizards of the Coast is suing the creators of a game called Hex: Shards of Fate for ripping off its popular card game. The suit calls out the “blatant and willful misappropriation and infringement of some of Wizards’ most valuable intellectual property assets pertaining to its Magic: The Gathering trading card game and trading cards”. Wizards is seeking all of the money made by Hex so far, which is estimated at over $500,000, for pilfering the “look and feel” of Magic and its “mechanics, plot, actions and elements”.

The same rules, even some cards. Indeed, it is the most blatant copy of TCG game I have ever seen.
