#deck building games

If you like Slay the Spire please please please check out Diceomancer. It's the same thing with better art (imo), animations, dice rolling, and fishing.

I cannot possibly give this game a better review. I think it's an amazing roguelike that mixes the deck building genre with gambling. The free demo on steam alone should convince you.

I've played Ascension a lot and even invested in some of it's expandalones. But, the way I've played it the most is in the app so we'll have to wait and see about this.

Facendomi il classico giro settimanale dagli amici di Hirtemis, ho scorto un boardgame che ho trovato perfetto per la stagione entrante, quella delle scampagnate e quindi adatto per lo zainetto da giochi in giro: Abbasso i Carciofi, un cattivissimo deckbuilding game a base di ortaggi e cattivaria.

Abbasso i carciofi è un boardgame che porta all'essenza i deckbuilding: ampia varietà di carte con poteri e capacità diverse, ma con un set di regole facilissime da apprendere e soprattutto la missione finire il proprio turno senza carciofi in mano!

Abbasso i carciofi è un gioco da tavolo perfetto da tenere con se per una partita estemporanea ovunque!

Abbasso i carciofi è un gioco da tavolo da 2 a 4 giocatori per la durata di 20 minuti, consigliato dai 10 anni in su edito in Italia da @uplay_it

Decked Out really is a whole other game. It's running on Minecraft textures and programming, of course, but its visual identity is so distinct (Tango's block palettes go SO HARD) and the structure of the game is so brilliantly designed that it just. It's true. It's a whole other game.

Mr Tango of the Tek variety has absolutely enraptured me with Decked Out 2. What an insane accomplishment, and while I'm sad that the final Phase is this week I can't wait to play it with the homies when the world download is available.

Do you know why Leon and Claire are star-crossed duo in this card of Resident Evil deck building game? Does it mean anything?

So... Who has never heard of this card game and had to drop everything and research it? Exactly, ME 😂

OMG!!! I really love everything about this card: the fact that it uses DSC's pic which was the only time they don't have separate stories; the effect of the card, always supporting and making each other stronger; and of course the meaning itself... this is a term commonly used for LOVERS!

I mean, Capcom using Romeo and Juliet description to define cleon? What???!!!!!

In short, the terms star-crossed and star-crossed lovers refer to two people who are not able to be together for some reason. These terms also have other meanings, but originally mean that the pairing is being 'thwarted by a malignant star' or that the stars are working against the relationship.

And this definition fits very well with Claire and Leon's story in the franchise from the very beginning with tag line in the original Resident Evil 2.

Leon and Claire fighting against fate to be together, no matter the obstacules that are thrown at them. There's nothing more romantic than that!

(repost bc i put it on the wrong blog again)

i started playing teppen yesterday and it's making me crave the dmc x okami crossover i've wanted ever since i was like 12

(bonus shitpost below)

i fucking love the dramatic "getting knocked the fuck out" animations the heroes have when they lose a battle it's one of my favourite things about the game so far

i'll get good at playing a deck with dante out of spite someday i swear

[digi-lov]

Personal update in the side.

We have around 70 ready-to-play decks by now. (pictured 68 deckboxes)

Starting to run into some storage issues with them plus the accumulated bulk. XD

[pocketspossum]

magic the gathering girlies please tell me your stupid decks for your favorite formats I need enrichment and someone to talk about my decks to

[minecraft-sideblog-tm]

I'm still not over how cool and elaborate Decked Out is, like this man made a whole ass game in blockgame. I don't even feel right calling it a minecraft mini game, it's a full game that just used Minecraft as the game engine lol. I hope Tango brags about this forever, he's earned it tbh

You ever just think about the implication that kaycee is one of grimora's little minions and probably a boss were grimora to get the OLD_DATA

Have you ever come across a game with a deckbuilding element? I've seen deckbuilding games with some roleplaying adjacent additions (Like the arkham horror card game), but not the other way around.

THEME: Deck-building Games

Hello friend, so I think I have a few that are in the same kind of field as deck-builders, although your mileage may vary. I certainly hope there are also folks who see this and know of some more games to add to this little list!

This Ship Is No Mother, by Thomas || New Madras.

This Ship Is No Mother is a game about people in space, working jobs that are probably going to get them killed. Inspired by movies like Alien and games like Mothership and Dread, this is for fans of tension, creepy-crawlies, and general horror. Mechanically, it's a card-based Forged in the Dark game, first in the series of games currently called the Cardsharp Sonata.

In this game, players start with a full deck of cards and as you play, that deck will run down. When the deck ends, there is a climactic moment of panic as one of the characters is going to do something stupid and get themselves (and maybe everyone else) killed.

I’d say that This Ship Is No Mother is kind of adjacent to a deck-building game. You use a regular deck of playing cards to resolve actions, but the resolution system takes inspiration from Blades in the Dark. Your cards don’t stay in your own personal deck; but you can choose to hold onto certain cards in your hand so that you can play them in dramatically appropriate moments, or spend them to make sure your character succeeds when they need to. The game was originally designed to run Mothership scenarios in a more story-game friendly way, so if you like Forged in the Dark mechanics, you might want to check out this game.

Perfect Draw!, by Double Summon Games.

Perfect Draw! is a tabletop role-playing game based on the Powered By The Apocalypse framework that combines Trading Card Games with collaborative storytelling - allowing you to tell stories similar to card game anime like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Duel Masters, and CardFight! Vanguard.

In Perfect Draw! you can make any deck you imagine using our open-ended card creation system - then, clash ideals with villains and allies alike in tense card game combat. Your deck is an extension of your beliefs and the blade that allows you to change the world. Use your passion, skill, and friendship to get the upper hand on foes and save the people you care about most!

Perfect Draw is a game in which you design your cards as you add them to your hand. Your cards exist as physical objects in your hand as you play, but they also represent special attacks and moves in the fiction of the game. As you play, you’ll gain more cards, but rather than relying on symbols or text to tell you what these cards do, you’ll have to author them yourself, using guidelines and inspiration from the specific character playbooks. You’ll also be rolling dice in the style of PbtA games, thus combining the feeling of a card duelling game and a TTRPG.

If you want to emulate the tropes of card-collecting games while designing your custom moves as you play, you might want to try out Perfect Draw!

Cardsharps, by Pageantry Games.

Armed with a deck of cards, this game helps you to nimbly guide your cast of characters on a merry waltz from mishap to catastrophe. For the tone, think of an old-timey farce, or a Coen Brothers movie, or perhaps your own muddled and terrifying existence.

Another game that uses playing cards, Cardsharps looks like it can fit a number of settings, with the four suits representing your stats. You shuffle your hand whenever you enter a test of some kind, and draw a random one - if you draw the Suit you need, you do it, if you get the same colour but wrong suit you get a mixed success, and if you draw the wrong colour completely, it’s a failure.

The randomness that comes from the shuffle reminds me a little bit of deck-building card games I’ve played in the past, although you’re not really adding anything to your hand. I think the core concept is interesting though, and might be something you could play around with to make a game that suits your tastes.

Orchidelirium, by Æther Corp.

Take on the mantle of a grizzled and hardy orchid hunter in 1865, traversing the depths of uncharted territories in search of rare, elusive, and above all, expensive orchids for your shady employer, J. Carmichael & Associates.

For the Games Master, Orchidelirium provides a simple ruleset, an adventure, and improvisation tools to help build an adventure of discovery at the table.

Orchidelerium is another game that uses playing cards with some cards in your hand being used as resources, while others are pulled from the deck to represent obstacles. I don’t know if it’s exactly a deck-building game because your hand is so small, but it does have a few similarities, namely the fact that different cards have different values, and thus will be used differently depending on the nature of the obstacle. The game itself revolves around orchid-hunters in the late 1800’s, which means that colonial themes are going to be present - a good thing to keep in mind when introducing this game to your play group.

Parselings, by Smunchy Games.

Parselings is a modern Deck building RPG about using collaborative word magic and discovering your place in it. The game takes place in a world like our own, but with one major difference – to some, words have literal power. Parsecytes, swarms of ravenous ink-like parasitic organisms, have emerged into the world causing irreversible changes to society and our ecosystem. 

When a Parsecyte invades a human host, it forms a symbiosis with them, together becoming an entity known as a Parseling. At a glance, Parselings are indiscernible from most other humans except for the labels on their skin and the ink mixed into their blood. When brought together in groups, these individuals become greater than the sum of their parts. The infected hosts can use their tattoos to form phrases and sculpt the world to their desires. This power has come to be known as a Parse.

You will play as one of these beings. Struggling to strike a balance between appeasing the Parsecyte within, and proving you are a complex human being who cannot only be defined by a few careless words. This is both a curse and a blessing, but with the others that share your affliction, the world is your oyster. 

This is the first game I think of when someone asks about deck-building ttrpgs. Each player gets a deck that uses regular playing cards to represent core aspects of your characters. The game isn’t dice-less - you still need some d6’s and d10’s - but those dice will only be rolled by the GM. Card decks aren’t the only interesting mechanic in Parselings - you’ll also construct pieces of your character with words that describe who they are and how they fit into the world around them. I think this might be a neat game to check out if you want to explore questions of identity while mixing in a little bit of the supernatural.

Smunchy Games has two supplements for Parselings: Infer Memorial Station, which works as an introductory adventure, and Nominal City Guide, a setting for groups to pick up and explore.
