What digital card games are you playing or excited for?

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but Slay the Spire is fantastic. The strategy is deep and it requires a lot of thinking and you unlock new possible cards as you go, but it's not a TCG. Instead it's a rougelike deck builder where you have to balance your desire for damage, health, combat rewards and interesting events as you climb higher and higher to... slay the spire?

It's a lot of fun, though, and while RNG can be a pain, the feeling you get from a great run is hard to match! Plus, it's on PC, console, and mobile, so you can scratch your itch whenever you like :)

I really loved Inscryption. It's a bit MtG and a bit Pokemon TCG, plus there's a much more involved story going on underneath the very competent card game. It's asymmetric and played Player/Dungeon Master style, and the game has many spins on the core mechanic hidden within it.

I got sucked into Marvel Snap for the past 8 months, but recently stopped playing due to a lack of progression and gate-keeping of new cards that made things feel pay-to-win. Game economy aside, I think Ben Brode did a remarkable job designing a card game that's so simple to learn, but with good depth, simultaneous turns, and a game board compelling enough to spectate. A part of me is a little sad the devs prioritized the whales over the dolphins and F2P core, but such is their choice.

From the card genre, I'm currently enjoying a solitaire-style game by the name of Card Crawl on mobile. The games are typically five minutes long and strike the right difficulty balance -- I recommend it if you're looking for something casual on the side.

The same dev also has some other interesting solitaire-style games that are worth checking out, with his newest title Geo Gods set to release later this month -- the art looks fantastic!

It's been out for a while but I absolutely loved "fights in tight spaces." A roguelike deck builder portraying John Wick style martial arts. Your cards represent different moves: attacking, dodging, blocking, etc.

Theres a good mix of tactical thinking as you use you hand of cards to outmanuover your enemies and stay alive. Then the higher level strategy of building your deck with cards that work well together, but aren't so over specialized that you can't adapt to different enemies and situations.

Card City Nights is a fun little game, taking place in a city where everyone is insanely hooked on some trading-card game. The mechanics are original and it has a pretty neat art style.

I'm waiting for Pixel Tactics. Haven't tried the Warpforged demo but I've got my eye on that one too. I like MtG Arena and Pokemon but I'm just not that into it anymore right now. I'd like to play Cardfight Vanguard but I'm not paying $70.

I play 2 card games on a daily basis. One that was mentioned already is Marvel SNAP and I mostly agree with what Mezze said in their post about it.

The other is Legends of Runeterra, primarily the Path of Champions game mode. It's set in the League of Legends universe, but you don't need any knowledge from that game to play this one. It has standard modes where you can collect cards and build decks to play against other players. The Path of Champions is a mode where you pick a champion and use their base deck to play through an adventure. As you progress through the adventure, you can add cards to your deck and abilities that expand the way your deck works making each run fairly different. The game has cosmetics and an occasional in-game event with a battle pass, but it is perfectly enjoyable without putting any money into it.

Vault of the Void is a mashup of hearthstone and slay the spire you might enjoy.

Also something I haven't seen mentioned yet is using Tabletop Simulator to play any game that doesn't have a digital version. It takes a bit more work and you have to find someone to play with, but it's a decent alternative.

I've been playing The Lord of the Rings Adventure Card Game in coop with a buddy. We sought it out specifically for coop functionality. There game is built as a campaign going through a story. The story is simply presented as text with a voiceover, which is fair enough but a bit awkward in coop. The gameplay is fun, I like the equipment system and the way the game design forces you to have a variety of cards in your deck.

The mechanics can be a bit obtuse at times. We played a card that had a bonus against hazards, but we quickly found out that not many objectives are technically classified as hazards, making the card kinda useless. We're also worrying about the longevity of the game, given that there's only a few campaigns to do.

Marvel Snap has me crazy addicted. Before that, I was playing Hearthstone Battlegrounds every day, but once I picked up Marvel Snap, I haven't touched BG. Came so close to hitting infinity this season but couldn't cross the finish line

I kind of feel that even though Blizzard is incapable of developing good content anymore, Hearthstone still holds up. They haven't really deviated from an established formula that works for the game imo.

Now to go wash my mouth out.

My favorite one which hasn't been mentioned yet (I think) is Eternal (https://www.direwolfdigital.com/eternal/). Extremely F2P friendly and lots of fun. It feels to me like if MtG had been created as a digital CCG from the ground up, and minus the extreme greediness.

I played the demo of Cross Blitz on Steam and I am looking forward to the full release:

• Great pixel art
• Deckbuilding with a set campaign
• Roguelike mode on the side
  The demo is still available until July 10th.

Seems a bit more forgiving than Wildfrost.

It is not PvP though, I prefer offline games.

I really enjoy Gods Unchained where the cards are all on the Ethereum network. It's a practical use of Blockchain technology but even more it's really fun.
