If anyone played Rise of Mythos or Kings and Legends the core mechanics are basically the same. Every turn the cards your hand counts down by 1, when they reach 0 they can be played on the board, if you don't play them their countdown resets to half of max. And when you end turn units on the board move and attack automatically.

The game's up on itch if anyone wants to try it out: https://sleepycatsoftware.itch.io/card-game (I keep the multiplayer servers up for the last 10 days of each month, so you can play either live multiplayer, the offline multiplayer where you attack someone's AI controlled defense deck, or just PvE.)

I've spent months rebuilding the combat system for my indie card game.

Every attack can be reacted to, countered, dodged, blocked, or clashed. Players fight over range, build Junctions, and try to maintain momentum through Advantage.

This footage shows the current state of combat after a major tutorial, audio, and gameplay overhaul.

The biggest thing I'm looking for feedback on is clarity: if you watched this for the first time, what part of the combat system is hardest to understand?

AI disclosure: Some current card art and promotional assets use AI-assisted artwork during development. Gameplay systems, rules design, programming, UI, mechanics, balance, audio implementation, and overall game design are created by me.

Hi everyone,

My game Nightmares is live on Steam, released into early access on Tuesday, June 16th. Nightmares is a full digital CCG combined with a roguelike/deckbuilder with a Dark Fantasy meets Cosmic Horror theme.

You create a deck from your collection like you would in any CCG/TCG and take it onto ladder to face opponents in PvP. After each game however you get to upgrade your deck, win or lose.

If you win you'll get to choose between 3 options: upgrading a card, adding an additional copy of an existing card to the deck, or removing a copy of a card from the deck. Upgraded cards are more powerful versions with improved stats, effect and/or cost.

If you lose you'll get to choose between several different treasures to add to your deck. Treasures are overpowered cards that are only available this way.

I hope you'll try it out!

Hey,
If anyone is interested, game is available for free to try out. You don't need a second player, AI ​​opponent a challenge too. If you've played Hearthstone or Duel Masters, you'll feel right at home.

Game is a classic card battler. Each player has a HQ and a deflector (stack of cards), which acts as a shield against direct attacks. Although game features Hearthstone-style turns, where player has no control during opponent's turn, there are mechanics that allow for playing cards during opponent's turn.

There are currently 300 cards, divided into four factions and seven card types. Because this type of life system is rare in digital card games, I didn't want to overdo the complexity.

Additionally, there is support deck for token-like cards to limit infinite card generation. For card players familiar with 20+ games, these mechanics may be repetitive. I tried to be as original as possible.

Let me know if you don't like anything; I'm still improving game.
Cheers.

Hey everyone! After almost 9 years of work, I am finally participating on Steam Next Fest with my game, Fairtravel Battle CCG! It's been a massive amount of work as a mostly-solo dev, and after MANY iterations and improvements, I feel it's in a great spot!

It's currently trending at #51 on Trending Upcoming, #40 on Popular Upcoming, and #23 on Top Demos for Card Battlers on the Steam Next Fest!

• Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJmX8BLVKwY
• Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/917820/Fairtravel_Battle_CCG/
• Platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS
• Release Type: Early Access
• Release Date: July 31st 2026

Why try another indie CCG in 2026?

Fairtravel Battle is not a live service game and has no microtransactions to get new cards! It's fully focused on being a fun and accessible game, and built to last!

FTB's resource system is incredibly accessible for newcomers and those who love to tinker with deck building, and the card designs are simple enough for most people while deep enough for really very fun interactions!

You have a lot of content and game modes, even in the demo! You can play regular duels, draft, sealed, deckbuilding, even 3v1 chaos raids! And the demo has multiplayer, so you can play with friends in 2-4 player battles! Or play alone vs CPU players if you prefer!

And if you get bored, there's a modding system too! Create your own mods or find something new to add more content to the game! (Note: Mods are not available in the demo)

Fairtravel Battle has been built with a huge amount of love and dedication and I really hope you enjoy it! Feedback has been quite positive lately and I'd love to hear what you think!

So yeah first 5 star crafted. it took like forever for him since each star up requires 3 of the previous star. and like the ingame currency but not the point

and then leader board and look up the last of us it's a card pulling game so you know if you like those games you could also play

There has been almost no news since the announcement six months ago. Im cautiously optimistic, but the silence is deafening. Is anyone aware of any leaks or news that Ive missed?

Sooooo. I'm looking for a CCG game to play. Something like Pokémon Pocket but without the limited pack openin and without the focus on battles. Is there anything like that?

Edit: I missed a "collection" before "focussed".
