Does anyone here play Deck Builder games, whether online/PC or in real life?
I've just discovered this genre and at first I was hesitant because I know that card games in general are usually complicated to get into, but I watched a video by TotalBuiscuit on a game called Dominion, and after some hesitation at playing it... I can say I'm addicted. I'm currently playing the online version as I type this and it's fantastic.
If you don't know what they are I could explain it to you but it's really complicated... but here's my best attempt.
You win the game with Victory points. You get these by buying VP cards. These come in 3 different flavors, 1 VP, 3 VP, and 6 VP.
As you go through the game you want to use your Gold cards to buy either: More Gold cards, Kingdom cards or VP cards. Kingdom cards allow you to do different actions such as draw cards, trash cards, make your opponent loose cards, give you actions and much more.
Sounds easy but the trick is that you want to buy VP cards but not to many otherwise you fill your deck with them and you can't do anything with them. You also don't want to just buy Gold cards because than you'll have no VP to win. You don't want to just buy Kingdom cards because than you won't have any VP or Gold cards. So it's al about balance and it's addicting. You're constantly trashing old cards for better ones.
I explained it badly but I recommend looking up TB's video on Dominion for a better idea.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone else here plays Deck Builders and if so, which ones? I play Dominion online right now and I just downloaded Star Realms on my phone last night. I still like Dominion better because I find there's more strategy there but Star Realms is still good. Are there any others that I'm missing that y'all play?
