any suggestions for deckbuilding game?

[failsafe]

Id like to play a little relaxing deckbuilding game. Can you suggest me a title good for non-experienced player (I mean: non experienced in deckbuilding). If free to play then even better.

Pretty easy to learn imo:

Both these have free base games. Expansions and additional features cost money, but the base game can be enough to get you into the genre.

And I'll second Star Realms, a very good game.

I've checked Star Realms... well... this is very hostile game towards new players. It took me a lot of time to actually start first battle... only to see unknown things happening and me loosing without understanding why. I remember playing Horus Heresy Legions years ago, that one seemed easier in early game and explained much more. But I guess maybe Realms are better later?

Once Star Realms clicks - it's a pretty smooth experience. Main tip? Always scrap starter junk and almost never buy coins.


Oh, and check out Splendor, it's a semi-deckbuilder with no direct player interaction. It's currently my chill game of choice and it crazy fast:

Just the things they have on the store page. Those are being suggested to you.

Non-experienced players are doomed. I only have suggestions for experienced players.

A non-experienced player is a toddler or something.

Well... Im not a doddler, but deckbuilders have never been interesting to me, so I dont have experience in this genre.

We can't suggest anything, because many of those games intent to get you hooked. (Or at least, it's very easy to get hooked on them because they are sometimes pay-to-win.)
Try looking for something without "DLC" or "In-App purchases," if you want to play something simple and over a fortnite.

Inscryption seems relatively innocent.

There's also this thread where you can ask this question:

They may know more.

Hmm... it is hard to get me hooked on something ;-P. I'd love to find a game capable of doing this, but this almost never happens ;-)

I'm not usually a fan of deckbuilders but I had a blast with this one:
