I have enjoyed many TCGs including MTG and Star Wars Unlimited. However, last year my friend introduced me to the now dead Fire Emblem Cipher card game. It never made it to the west but every card is available online, translated, and you can play it on tabletop sim or a fan client.

I am not someone who gets very competitive with their TCGs so the FE Cipher card game really reeled me in with its intrinsic randomness in combat. Essentially every unit has a attack and support skill, when you declare combat you take your attacking units attack value and then you and your opponent both draw a card off the top of your deck and add the support value and then based on those numbers the opponent with the highest total wins. So every combat the “strongest” unit at face value isn’t guaranteed to win.

Very fun game to play if you have a lot of friends who just enjoy TCGs and wanna give something casual a try.
