Players must build up ships and technology before the moving deeper into the galaxy on a mission of conquest. 2 Players Ĭore Worlds is a deck building game where players control a space-faring empire and set out to conquer other planets. History buffs and deck building fans will both want to check out this popular Martin Wallace title. Players will have to manage their troops around the game board and all while trying to build up their deck with more efficient cards. A Few Acres of Snow is a lot of fun and fairly unique as well. One player controls the British while another the French in an area control battle for the continent. 2-6 Players Ī Few Acres of Snow is an asymmetrical board game set during the colonial era of North America. At that price point, it’s hard not to grab a copy. The best part about Star Realms is that a $15 deck of cards is all that’s required to play the game with 2 players. Designed by two Magic: The Gathering hall of famers, this enjoyable little card game is both easy to learn and fun to play. This game takes the Ascension concept and adds in a SciFi feel and some direct conflict with your opponent. If you’ve played Ascension, then you’ll have a good feel for Star Realms. There are not many solo games that I own, but this one tops on my list. Friday has a neat risk vs reward mechanic that will have you constantly on your toes trying to make the best decision. Players will be challenged to overcome encounters and when they do, they will learn skills that will help them against future challenges. 2-4 Players Ī game for one, Friday is a great solo card game that has the player trying to survive on a desert island.

Top 10 Deck Building Games Honorable Mention: Valley of the Kings So with that out-of-the-way, I present our Top 10 Deck Building Games. To go with that, we are only counting deck building games, not dice building games.
We aren’t including “deck construction” games, or games where you build your deck before the game (Magic: The Gathering, Netrunner, Etc…).
Just for clarity’s sake, we are only considering deck building games (games that use the Dominion mechanic of adding cards to your play deck as the game progresses). It was really hard to pare this list down, and some good games didn’t even make the cut, but we were finally able to narrow it down to our (almost) ten favorites. We decided it was time to take a look, so we dug through the boxes of deck builders out there and picked out 10 favorites. Since then, there have been many new games to take their shot at the deck building genre. Dominion went on to win a variety of different awards, including the coveted Spiel des Jahres in 2009. This box of 500 cards introduced gamers everywhere to the “deck building” mechanic, and it’s fair to say that the world loved it. Vaccarino released a card game called Dominion upon the world.
