Top 10 Deck Builders!

Howdy Gamers! It’s time for another Top 10 List! This time I’m taking a look at some of my favorite deck building games. I know that there are a lot of games that fit this category, especially if you’re just looking at the BoardGameGeek category, so, to make sure we’re clear, I define a deck builder as a game where you buy/obtain cards within the game to add to your deck in hopes of bringing cards together to make good combos or get you the most points (whatever the goal of the game might be). If you construct a deck before playing (as in Master of Wills for instance) that isn’t the type of game I have included in the list.

Again, I have narrowed the list down to games that I own to make it a little easier on myself, even though there are a lot of great deck builders out there that I don’t own. If you haven’t had a chance to try a deck builder yet, I highly recommend checking some out. They’re super neat and there’s a lot of varieties out there (which you’ll see in my list) so there’s something for everyone!

Happy Gaming~

You Gotta Roll When It’s Write! – Favorite Mechanic

Not from a roll-and-write, but hey,
I love rolling some dice!

When you’ve played enough games – and trust me, I’ve played my fair share – you start to get drawn to similar types of games, and start to really find which ones you love the most. I know that I’ve been drawn into certain themes a lot as well as games from certain publishers or designers. But the biggest thing that can really draw me to a game is its’ mechanics. I love a lot of different mechanics, from worker placement to deck builders, but by far my favorite is a good ol’ roll-and-write! I want to do a little combo post to talk about this type of game and list a few of my favorites!

Dragons: The Best Pets Around

Warning: This game does not come with actual, real-life dragons … bummer.

So, you think it’s an easy job breeding dragons? Okay, let’s see you do it, then! You only have a few Dragon Seekers at your disposal, so make good use of them all to gather the dragons you need, and maybe some dragon eggs as well, to get more gold than your opponents. Ready to begin? Let’s take a closer look.

Rice Harvesting 101

If you didn’t know anything about farming rice paddies before … well, you probably still won’t after this game. I mean, it’s not a teaching tool. BUT it sure is fun! With only 18 double-sided cards, players take on the role of Cambodian farmers expanding their rice paddies to produce bountiful harvests. While light, quick, and simple, this wallet-sized game packs a punch with variety and strategy. Let’s take a look!
