    Wish I understood and enjoyed these card battle games. There are a number of really good ones available.

      As in, understanding the appeal, or understanding how to properly play? StS is what taught me the latter, it might be a good fit (with some beginners tips if you’d like).

        Understanding how to play. The only one I’ve tried is Enscryption and I was mostly lost. Any beginners tips would be appreciated.

          I’m not a pro, but I can certainly give some tips!

          Inscryption is an amazing game, but I find it hard to understand what’s going on a lot of the time. Slay the Spire is much better in that regard. You can hover over any status effect, keyword and so on to get a tooltip that explains things pretty well. Most artifacts etc. are also easy to understand, and the tutorial is a good introduction.

          Some tips (most are good for all such card games):

          • The most important thing after immediate survival is synergies. Find cards and artifacts that work together. Focusing on individual cards is usually harder to bring to a win.
          • To be able to reliably draw your synergies, try to keep your deck lean. Focus on removing cards that you can “replace” with better versions (e.g. basic attacks/defends). Also don’t add willy-nilly if you have a good thing going, try to think about what you’re lacking.
          • Focus on getting cards/artifacts/synergies that allow you to draw more cards & generate extra action points.
          • Sometimes, taking a bit of extra damage early can save a lot of extra damage later.
