Unravel terrifying H. Lovecraft-inspired mysteries in a fantasy world full of monsters and cultists. The collectible game is also available in an app version. One reviewer wrote : "This game delivers on the theme and story in spades. Cooperative gameplay with your own deck means minimal 'quarterbacking' by other players, the deckbuilding feels like its there, but not something you're required to be amazing at in order to enjoy it, and the difficulty settings do a good job of fine tuning what level you want to play at.

I abandoned Magic after 14 years of playing because I had too many other gaming demands on my time, but this is something I can see keeping up with as an ongoing thing.

The lowdown: Similar to MTG, this beautifully illustrated option is one of the best strategy card games out there. It brings you into the fantasy world of Argaia, where you'll use strategy to fight enemies, call upon allies, and create cooperative magic spells. Each roll of the dice allows you to change power levels, and you have the option of playing with pre-built decks or building your own. It's kind of got the feel of Magic the Gathering but is definitely it's own game. The turn system is really cool and takes a minute to get used to but after a turn or two you'll have this mostly down.

I like that it can be played with suggested deck lists, building your own, or drafting- this makes it more accessible for more people. The lowdown: The Lord of the Rings fans will get the opportunity to dive back into Mordor and Middle Earth in this fun expandable card game. Decks are built from four spheres of influence, and the goal is to defeat Sauron as you overcome obstacles.

It comes with cards and three quests, giving you multiple replay options. One reviewer wrote : "I love this 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. The players must juggle buying new cards and using the ones they have to attack their opponent, attempting to bring their health down to zero by acquiring more and more powerful cards.
