It’s difficult not to become excited over anything that involves cards and the name Richard Garfield. The creator of Magic the Gathering having a hand in Roguebook definitely sets some lofty expectations, especially given how many great games already exist within the genre.
Breach Wanderers allows you to edit your starting deck with the cards you have obtained as well as the pool of cards that can show up for you to choose during a run. This gives Breach Wanderers a pretty unique feel right out of the gate, despite the obvious influence of Slay the Spire.
Tainted Grail: Conquest is a deck builder based on Arthurian Legend, and I’m not talking Disney’s Arthur Pendragon or that snarky young Merlin show. The world of Tainted Grail is dark, creepy, and sometimes gross.
Neurodeck is a rogue-lite deckbuilding game with a very interesting setting, inside the mind of your character. You aren’t raiding dungeons or slaying dragons, the monsters you encounter are manifestations of real-life phobias.
