Card City Nights

Its attention to recreating the feeling around playing card games with your friends is a breath of fresh air for a genre that generally cuts right to the chase, and I think that's something worth paying attention to and enjoying.

The best part are, as it couldn't be otherwise, the battles. The mix of card-building and puzzle, Tictactoe-like battles are innovative and enjoyable. Challenging, but enjoyable, as the first duels you take part in will feel like the AI is throwing the game.

Card City Nights isn’t concerned with being unique; it knows it is. The way it plays shows some resemblance to other personalities, but the game wears it with reverence and confidence (even while it tries its best at irreverence). Its most original features are plastic and surface-level, but they hide a deeper personality that isn’t quite like what we’ve seen before.
