Deck-building games are games in which you build your own deck of cards as you play, starting with a small starter deck and gradually adding cards that make your deck stronger and better. The genre combines simple rules with great depth: within a few minutes you understand how it works, but you will rack your brains over the best card combinations. From classics such as Dominion to quick games like Clank! and Star Realms, every deck-building game gives you the thrill of growing power and a deck that develops your way.
Deck-building games are a great introduction to more complex game mechanics, which is why they tie in perfectly with other genres in our collection. Want more variety? Discover our card games too, where you can enjoy plenty of card magic without the deck-building element, or try engine-building games, where you build different systems into an efficient machine.
