Lagim is a Filipino-themed collectible card game that immerses players in the dark and mystical world of Philippine folklore. Inspired by legendary creatures and supernatural tales, the game features character cards portraying mythical beings, each intricately designed to reflect its eerie origins. The names appear in both Filipino and Baybayin, reinforcing the game’s cultural authenticity.
A Dark & Mystical Aesthetic
Every element in Lagim’s design is intentional. The deep, shadowy color palette creates an air of mystery, while the phases of the moon symbolize the passage of time and the supernatural forces at play. The game’s name, Lagim, translates to dread, terror, or gloom, perfectly capturing the chilling essence of Filipino folklore.
The game isn’t just about strategy—it’s an immersive experience, blending haunting visuals with storytelling that brings ancient myths to life.
Intricate Craftsmanship: The Soul & Dark Soul Coins
Beyond the cards, Lagim’s artistry extends to its physical collectibles. The Soul and Dark Soul Coins are standout pieces, designed to feel like relics of an ancient era. Crafted from thick, weighty metal, they come in silver and bronze finishes, symbolizing spiritual power and darkness.
More Than a Game – A Functional Art Piece
The creators, A2 Design Lab (also known as Fictionminds), envisioned Lagim as more than just a card game. Their goal was to craft a functional art piece—a fusion of strategy, storytelling, and artistic expression. Every element, from the cards to the coins, was designed to be admired and cherished by players, collectors, and folklore enthusiasts alike.
At its core, Lagim is an invitation to explore Filipino mythology, connect with cultural heritage, and bridge generations through storytelling and curiosity.
