I love card games. I have played various card games more or less regular the last 25 years. I started to play Magic: the Gathering (MtG) around 25 years ago and have played it on and off since then. Other card games that I have especially enjoyed to play is Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, 2 player Canasta and Doomtrooper. Other card games that I have played but not enjoyed the same much are Hearthstone and Star Realms.
But the card game that I really by far enjoy the most is The Space War which is my own creation. This game I have played on a regular basis since 2018 and it truly is an amazing game in my opinion.
In this text I am going to go over some of my personal requirements for what I feel is a great card game and how it relates to The Space War.
The game should be able to be played both offline and online using the same game rules. I very much prefer to play card games offline, with my family or friends. I want to feel the cards in my hand and see the expressions of my opponent. Some games such as Hearthstone can only be played online, some others only offline.
