London is the stage for a war between all sorts of supernatural beastie in this totally OTT card game. Sorcerer pits vampire against Lovecraftian horror, demonic hellspawn against mythological monster and MTG-like card battles against gameplay that veers between fighting for control of areas of the city, deckbuilding and rolling dice.
Even constructing a deck is fun and easy here, with your character and their stack of minions formed of three separate sets of cards — lineage, character and domain — that you can combine as you like. It also has the pleasing side effect of giving you a wonderfully ridiculous title, like Miselda the Demonologist of the Screaming Coast.
The players lay down their cards to summon creatures to three different boards representing battlefields, with the positioning of monsters and their overlord playing a key part in seizing control for the victory. With a spicy blend of tactics, luck and cardplay wrapped up in a delightfully gothic universe, Sorcerer has its own magic up its sleeve.
A living card game reboot of the nineties collectible card game from mega-publisher Fantasy Flight, Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game sees two clans from the world of Rokugan do battle under the leadership of the players. Attacks can be conducted with either military strength or political manipulation, and conducting combat in a respectable way can also bring victory if you amass 25 honour.
Compared to other TCGs where cards cost a fixed amount, L5R: TCG has a neat gameplay twist in that players choose how long their cards remain on the battlefield, spending fate tokens to keep characters and effects in play for extra rounds — something that can potentially swing the victory in their favour. What makes Doomtown something special is the way it uses the classic western trope of poker to decide the outcome of its duels, with cards adopting playing card-like suits and numbers, combined with MTG-like abilities that keep everyone on their toes and unloading their revolver until the dust settles.
Double check that you haven't found anything super expensive without realising it! Created by two former Magic: The Gathering pros and Hall of Famers, sci-fi card game Star Realms and its later fantasy spin-off Hero Realms are fast-playing deckbuilders that deliver tight and tense card-battling duels. Nonetheless, HEX is technically another free-to-play game, and fortunately boasts a robust single-player mode that tells the story of the world while allowing players to get comfortable with gameplay mechanics and earn valuable rewards.
This, plus HEX not being available on mobile platforms, makes the game much more difficult to get into. Eternal feels like a combination of Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering , but it makes up for it with their unique take on the Wild West as a setting. Eternal offers players multiple different tournaments and alternate modes for them to experience, even having a sizable amount of single-player content to give those who prefer playing against the computer PvE plenty of options. Surprisingly, this has worked well for them, as the game is updated with new content quite often.
Setting its price aside, Faeria is also unique for taking place on a dynamic playing board, one in which placement of cards can affect future turns for yourself and your opponent. With this type of gameplay, inexperienced players can quickly cause disaster for themselves against skilled opponents. Though it spent quite some time in beta, that only means the developers have spent plenty of time listening to fans and fine-tuning the game for the best experience possible. Gwent offers another look into the captivating world of The Witcher , which is why releasing a single-player expansion in the form of Gwent: Thronebreaker was probably one of the smartest things the studio has ever done.
The Granddaddy of them all, longtime fans recognize Magic as the very first trading card game ever. Arena makes Magic welcoming to newcomers while maintaining all the complexity longterm players have come to love.
A popular card game that is still going strong eight years later, Smash Up from AEG is player competitive game that aims to solve schoolyard arguments like: can zombie dinosaurs beat a team of robot pirates? What about ghostly wizards vs fairy aliens? Available on Steam with a pair of expansions, this digital version of the game is missing the majority of the physical card game's catalog but for those new to Smash Up, the digital version of the game is still a good time to introduce players to this system.
A physics engine meant to simulate the experience of playing board games with friends in person, this game is tailor-made for developers to make their own official DLC for the game. However, when card game companies fail to make digital versions of their game, fans are there to pick up the slack. If you like the mods so much it may just inspire to purchase the physical copies! Some games have endured the test of time and are classics for a reason.
Decades after its initial release, UNO has had various forms of digital versions dating back to the days of the Game Boy Color but now the most popular version is undoubtedly on PC. For those who don't know, the goal of UNO is to empty your hand of cards before everyone else.
This simple goal can be impeded in a number of ways either by your own miscalculations or meddling from other players. It's the simplest game on this list, but it definitely makes it easy for families to play together.
With its endless lore and a massive roster of characters, The Lord Of The Rings franchise is a perfect choice for a card game. For those who prefer a bit of a story element to go alongside your card games, this one is a great choice. Although there is another Yu-Gi-Oh game later on in the list, this game for the Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC has an absolutely ridiculous library of 10 cards for players to collect and use to battle each other in online play.
There is also a story mode where players can relive duels from the various animes in the franchise. While the also popular Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links is a much more simplified and faster version of the card game, this game goes all in with every summoning mechanic that will make players head spin when they first play the game.
For those seeking a challenge in their card games, this might be your best choice. Hex is one of the newer online CCG's out there and plays almost identically to Magic , but with enough differences to make it stand out a little from the crowd. It leans hard into the online aspect of play, but also has a decent length solo campaign for those who don't want to play any PvP rounds.
Unfortunately, Hex seems to be on its way out, with very few updates being released in the last year, and many players have moved on to other games.
