Featuring gameplay centered around the strategic use of cards, these games often involve building decks, managing resources, and executing tactical decisions. Players might encounter various mechanics such as turn-based combat, deckbuilding, and card collection.

Offering easy-to-understand mechanics and accessible gameplay, this category emphasizes relaxed, enjoyable experiences suitable for players of all ages and skill levels.

A turn-based game mechanic is the opposite of a real-time game mechanic. In a Turn-By-Turn mechanic (synonym), each player has to wait for the other to have played, so that they can play, and so on. This way, each player has the time to think about their strategy. TBT games rely less on action than real-time games.
