Excuse us while we totally geek out over a collectible card game. But this is no ordinary CCG--because Hex is a digital-only card game that does away with the impossibilities of a cardboard-based medium. Cryptozoic Entertainment swung by to show off Hex: Shards of Fate, their free-to-play game that blends the community, character progression, and exploration of an MMO with the mind games and strategy of a collectible card game. Check out our developer demo with Cory Jones, veteran designer and chief creative officer at Cryptozoic. You might recognize him from a certain Penny Arcade comic.

Check back for more info on Hex: Shards of Fate when our full preview goes live next week!
