Cross-category comparison
Cards from different franchises and manufacturers are observed through the same visual approach.
AN EDITORIAL SERIES BY LUMINA FOIL INDEX
Across TCG’s
A journey across different games, manufacturers and printing technologies to observe how each card builds its own identity through light.
LFI Across TCG’s applies the visual language of the Lumina Foil Index to cards from different collectible universes, bringing finishes, textures, refractions and production solutions into dialogue.
Each episode does not establish a ranking or declare a winner: it builds a visual comparison, showing how different games interpret light, depth and foil movement.
Different cards. Different light. One shared language of observation.

THE CONCEPT
Why cross TCGs
Every collectible ecosystem develops its own optical vocabulary. Across TCG’s makes it observable through a consistent editorial structure.
Foil identity
Patterns, textures, depth, refraction and activation build a recognisable visual signature.
Accessible storytelling
The LFI protocol is translated into a short, immediate format that remains understandable beyond the technical niche.

ACROSS THE LIGHT
Comparison does not reduce differences.
It makes them visible.
Across TCG’s documents how different manufacturers, materials and technologies transform the same raw element — light — into completely different visual experiences.
