Star Realms

Excellently balanced strategy card game. Free for AI play. One fee to unlock on PC/Mac/iOS/Android - it works across ALL platforms after you've paid ONCE. DLC packs are expansion card packs. NOTHING is collectible. New Arena mode is free once per week, or trivial cost if you wish to grind it out - only for leaderboard, it has NO EFFECT ON GAMEPLAY. No pay-to-win. All things said, quite possibly the best money I've ever spent on any game.

[h1] Seems to be card based space game. Gameplay is basic, play cards which are mostly your fleet and gather trade resources (coins) which can be traded for special cards on the board during your turn. Playing some cards will give attack points. Goal is to destroy mothership or main vessel of your enemy which have plenty of hit points so use that attack cards (red mark) and trade (coins). Your rival try to do same to you so be careful. Rules are 1 vs 1 and building strong deck of cards can be your only "sure" advantage. Much resources were put on complex story, because game is played in missions and all have some story background which is neat. Overall basic card game, so take note it take a lot of time and might be boring. At the same time lore and revealing the story is interesting. Skip if you don't have much time to spare otherwise might be worth checking out just for the story. [/h1]
