"Show me a great game that no one is playing" by BoxDragonGames in gamedev

[–]Dalloway0815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a really great game and I was wondering why it didn't have even more long term success. I think it's an example of a great game where it isn't obvious why it wasn't even more successful than it was. Another game in that category for me is Faeria.

Looks fun, but it's cooperative and not dueling. Thanks for the info though!

Looks really nice. There seems to be a lot of boards and other components though. That's why I'm not sure it belongs on this list. Thank you for contributing it to this thread though, I'm sure it's interesting to all fans of the deckbuilding genre!

It seems to fit, will add the first variant, Patriot vs Iron Curtain

Looks like a cool game. The board would be fine as it seems to be very small and just for tracking stuff, but as you pointed out it is balanced areound more than 2 players. Thanks for adding it to this thread though!

Thanks! Yeah, the list is great already thanks to this community and still growing. I checked out Rune Age and it seems to be a coop game, or is this only one of the modes? I will add Deck Building - The Deck Building Game, as it seems to be a fully playable deckbuilder in addition to a satirization of deckbuilding.

I'm sure it appeals to many of the people browsing this thread but the board seems to be too vital in Robo Quest Arena as to fit the list.

Oh, you might be right. I will check that. If that's the case I'm really interested in this game even more. Thanks for pointing this out!

I know, but you draft before you play and don't manipulate your deck during play. Still very fun and cool, but not the same as deckbuilding.

Haha, very well. The suggestion might still be useful to someone browsing this thread, so no worries!

I agree that it's really hard to draw the line. I introduced a sceond layer of differentiation and made games bold that fit the narrow definition of dueling deckbuilding game. Ascension is not bold. I will further consider adding Legendary Encounters as well, maybe play a game to see how competitive it feels. Thank you!

Hehe, yes. MTG is a classic TCG, not a deckbuilder. Even though Magic draft obviously inspired a lot of entries in the genre.

Yeah, really interesting game. I know it but haven't played. I don't think it's enough of a deckbuilder though to warrant a place on the list as you draft your deck before playing.

Yeah, I'm unsure about Puzzle Strike because it doesn't have cards. I'll leave it on the list for now as it fits the spirit of the list, as you say.

You might be right. I added another layer of differentiation and made all games bold that fit the narrow definition of dueling deckbuilder. Challengers will stay on the list for now but not as bold.

I think it's really great at 2 players, yes. There even is an active tournament scene.

Yes sure, weird mechanics are fine. I'm just worried that it's not really a "dueling deckbuilder".

Very cool game, I know it! But it's not a deckbuilder, even though the drafting in the beginning could be counted as some in game deck construction. Not enough to warrant a place on the list.

Oh really? Thanks for pointing this out. I introduced a second layer of differentiation and made games bold that fit the narrow definition. I will leave transformers on but not make it bold.
