Mind Control Software has managed to grab some of the top talent of the trading card game industry to aid in the creation of their upcoming online competitive platform strategy game, Mind Twist. With Richard Garfield, the man behind Magic: The Gathering, guiding the vision, Mind Twist will bring platform play in the form of a turn-based online strategy game to players. To get more information, Ten Ton Hammer spoke with former Wizards of the Coast Vice President of Digital Gaming turned Mind Control Vice President of Business Strategy, Randy Buehler. Try saying that five times fast.

When I’m playing Mind Twist, I’m playing on my iPhone vs a PC. I’m going over to Richard Garfield’s house (the creator of Magic: The Gathering) later and we’re going to be playing his PC vs my iPhone. Platform play is something that Mind Control has now actually built. Absolutely that’s an advantage of this game, and it’s something we haven’t seen out there. I mean, you see a little bit of what I’ll call massively-single player games. All you’re really doing is putting up a high score with that sort of registered high score board list. What we’re doing is actual multiplayer matchmaking across all platforms.
