Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need to be Catholic to play or understand the game?
No. Trinitas is open to everyone. While the game draws upon the apostolic traditions of the Catholic Church, it is designed to be educational, engaging, and enjoyable for players of all backgrounds. Our mission is to share the teachings and traditions passed down from Jesus Christ through an interactive and entertaining experience.
What do I need to start playing?
To play, you’ll need:
- A Trinitas Deck containing at least 100 cards (50 Trinitas + 50 Blessings)
- An Adversarius (Opponent) Deck
- Dice and a notepad to record point values
For complete setup and gameplay instructions, see our “How to Play” guide.
How many people can play?
Up to 3 players can play at once, typically three Trinitas players versus one Adversarius deck.
Can I play Solo?
Yes, The Adversarius deck is designed to be unmanned and turns determined by a roll of the dice.
Are the cards blessed?
No. We do not sell blessed items. You may choose to have your cards blessed after purchase; however, never resell blessed items, as selling sacred objects is considered the sin of Simony.
Why is the game recommended for ages 13 and up?
Some cards feature artistic depictions of biblical or historical scenes involving blood, injury, or acts of violence, as well as implied mature themes.
Additionally, basic math skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) are required. Parents are encouraged to use discretion in determining whether the game is appropriate for their children.
Does a Saint’s higher ATK or DEF value mean they are more important in real life?
No. Card values are for gameplay only and do not reflect the actual holiness or importance of the saint, angel, or figure represented.
The values are loosely based off of your connection to them rather than their power against evil.
The entirety of the game is based on YOU vs Evil while utilizing your connection to good to defend yourself against Evil.
If a card is discarded by the Adversarius, does that mean evil has defeated good?
Not at all. The game symbolizes your spiritual battle against evil. When a holy card is discarded, it represents a temporary loss of connection, similar to how sin can weaken our relationship with God.
Evil can never defeat good. Trinitas challenges players to rely on faith, and perseverance to overcome adversity.
Can a Trinitas player use only 1 set timeline (New Testament only) for their playable deck?
Yes, since a player can customize their deck based on their personal relationship with God they can use only one timeline.
Gameplay Questions
What’s the difference between “ATK/DEF Increase” and “ATK/DEF Value Increase”?
- ATK/DEF Increase: A temporary boost lasting for one turn.
- ATK/DEF Value Increase: A permanent change that lasts for the entire game.
Note: an increase in ATK/DEF value does not repeat each turn unless stated on the card. it’s set to one change that remains.
If an Enemy’s ATK exceeds a Martyr’s remaining DEF value, what happens?
You must subtract the remaining DEF value from the ATK total, discard the Martyr, and then remaining ATK points transfers to another active Martyr of your choice. Continue this process until the ATK points run out, or if no Martyrs remain active, those points are subtracted from your Grace Points.
If an Intercessor is discarded, does its attached Blessings return to my hand?
No. All attached Blessings are permanently linked to their Intercessor. If the Intercessor is discarded, its Blessings are discarded as well, unless the card’s special ability states otherwise.
Note: Once Blessing has been put into play where ever it’s play remains with that card.
Can I attach Blessings to a teammate’s active Intercessor?
Yes. During your turn, you may offer teammates Blessings, Martyrs, Intercessors, or Enhancements to assist them. However, you may only share cards during YOUR turn.
