Mojang’s best known for the indie blockbuster Minecraft, but today heralds the launch of the open beta for its new game, Scrolls. It’s been a long time coming, and the title itself was the focus of a courtroom squabble, as much as Notch would’ve liked to hash out the early roadblock in a rocket-filled arena. While it’s admittedly not “feature complete,” you can test your card-battling skills in casual and ranked online match-ups. The card trading forum is up and running, as is the in-game store for bolstering your deck using gold earned through triumph, and “shards” purchased with real dough. You can tweak your deck using the builder and 25 trials are available off the bat to school you in strategy. Access to the open beta will cost you $20, £13 or 15 euros, but really, you’re buying the full game early, as all future updates will be free to beta adopters. The purchase page isn’t live just yet, but it’ll be available to download for PC and Mac at some point today. Hit the source link to brush up on the mechanics if you can’t wait to attack the trials, or check out the trailer below for a quick fix.

The folks behind the block crazy game known as Minecraft, Mojang, has another project up their sleeves which they have dubbed “Scrolls“. I sure hope that the weight and expectancy of it all will not result in Scrolls being a dud, but other companies in the past have certainly suffered from being unable to shake off the tag of their previous success no matter whatever new ideas or products that they come up with in the future. Scrolls is said to be in the pipeline that will deliver a unique take on the gameplay. Basically, your scrolls act as collectible cards which enable you to access heroes, creatures and powers that you can utilize in order to defeat your nemesis. Hmmm, does this sound too much like Magic: The Gathering, albeit in a digital format?
The way to get hooked on this game would be to go on an adventure as you attempt to gather and win new scrolls along the way. There has been no release date attached to Mojang’s Scrolls just yet, although Mojang will begin testing the game with a small number of players very soon. Do you think that Scrolls will end up bigger than Minecraft itself?
