Trading card games are hotter than ever and we'll soon be dedicating your own top 5 + 1, but we wanted to leave you another selection of card games, without that addition of "collectibles", which have more to do in reality with the board games of which we spoke to you last week, perfect to play in a group or alone.
UNO & Friends
We start with the great classic of card games of this type, UN, which arrived a few years ago on mobile devices with the recurring formula of the "& Friends" with a special emphasis on the social dimension of the game, something that is perfectly reflected in the different types of competition that we can take part in, playing against other users, for example, in quick games or tournaments, or alone or in pairs. And in case any of you did not know him yet, suffice it to say as an introduction that it is about get rid of the cards as fast as possible, although that, of course, is not going to be as easy as it sounds.
Exploding Kittens
Much more recent than UNO but almost as popular now, the second game in our top 5 is a game that became famous in its day for breaking records on kickstarter and, fortunately and unsurprisingly, we didn't have to wait too long to enjoy it. of him also on our mobile devices. The objective of the game is in this case is "simply" sobrevivir to the letters that arrive loaded with explosive kittens, but you can already imagine that here we are also going to have many wild cards that are complicating things a lot from this simple premise. We can play against up to 5 other users.
take 6
Similar in its approach to UNO, although the original with physical cards can also be considered a classic, the digital version of take 6 It is not as popular as the others, but not because it lacks merits, because it is an equally fun game to play in a group. Unlike the others, yes, in this case the multiplayer is local instead of online, which can be a disadvantage depending on our habits, but without a doubt it is an added attraction if we want to play with our friends or family in a game. travel, for example, without consuming data. And if we are alone, to compensate, we can play against the machine, choosing between several levels of difficulty.
Stroke
Coup is a game a little different from the previous ones, with fewer cards and much more strategy, but above all, but above all because it introduces a factor that completely determines the game mechanics and is what we can (or should) lie about the letters we have. Logically, we will not be the only ones who will hide which are the cards that have really touched us, but all our opponents will do the same and discovering which are theirs is as important a part of the job as getting to deceive others. about ours. The multiplayer is in this case online, choosing between private games with me or open to users from all over the world.
San Juan
San Juan it is a version of the original Puerto Rico which, as its name makes clear, focuses on the capital of the country. It is true that although the rules have been simplified with respect to that one, it probably still has a more complicated starting point than the others on the list, but don't worry because it has a tutorial that will help you understand the mechanics. It becomes curious in that it resembles a bit of games of simulationAt least we have to accumulate points by building and profiting from commerce, trying to become the most prosperous merchants in the city and making it grow, and it can be played against up to three rivals, either other users or controlled by the machine.
Reigns
The bonus of our top 5 is for a card game that can not only be played only with artificial intelligence taking the place of other players, but is also conceived to be played in solitary, and it is lived more like a game in which a story unfolds than like a classic strategy game. The gameplay is also extremely simple, but very graceful (as well as its aesthetics) since we will simply be presented with problems that will force us to make a decision in our role as medieval kingWithout losing sight of what we do, logically, doing it will have consequences for our kingdom and will condition our ability to achieve success in the future.
