For anyone who wants a more complex game proximate to this design, there's a small production called Reinforcements (https://reinforcementscg.myshopify.com/ https://reinforcementscg.myshopify.com/). Non-collectible, single box.
You play a hand of up to 5 cards each turn: Adding cards to (concealed) stacked ranks of defending troops, attacking an opponent's ranks, using a card's ability. The suits have different defensive properties when arranged in a rank, and combine in interesting ways; there are also "ultimate" powers players can grab from the center by forming their ranks with particular arrangements of suits, which act as turtle-busters.
Highly recommended, quite fun, probably plays best 1v1. Definitely a lot of small rules to absorb, so it's a more complex beast. But nowhere close to the complexity of Magic.

- slopeloaf 2y agoThis is for a simple card game man. Recommending board games is part of the culture of the hobby. It ain’t that deep

- dang 2y ago7thaccount is a great HN user. I don't believe they're astroturfing. I do believe you meant this sincerely though.
- scrollaway 2y agoWould you say you would definitely recommend 7thaccount to other HN users?
- rpdillon 2y ago> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing...If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
- 7thaccount 2y agoSorry. I just reread the comment I made and yeah that looks like some product placement or fake Amazon review. I can assure you it's coincidental. I posted about a game I recently discovered and then have been super stoked by people leaving their knowledge of similar games that I'm now also excited to give a go. I've recently got into card games and domino games with the kid (a few board games too) and it's all a blast. One of my favorite aspects of HN (have been on here for about a decade, but occasionally lose my account password and have to start over) is the collective knowledge of curious people who know deep stuff about nearly every topic.
- imzadi 2y agoIf co-op games are more your speed, check out Regicide.
- stevage 2y agoThank you!! This looks awesome. Cannot wait to try. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/307002/regicide https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/307002/regicide
- clgeoio 2y ago+1 Regicide is a great game, difficult to master, but when playing with the same people often you learn how to play and work off each other in subtle ways.
- remram 2y agoAwesome, tried it solo and it seems great, will try 2-player later. Link to rules: https://www.regicidegame.com/how-to-play/ https://www.regicidegame.com/how-to-play/
