There's lots of fantastic roguelike deckbuilders out there, from the iconic Slay the Spire to new, distinctive offerings such as Balatro. But a real joy of mine has been the rise of the dice-based roguelike - the likes of Dicey Dungeons, Dice and Fold, and the beautiful Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, which is celebrating a full year since launch by introducing a new daily run feature alongside the ability to build your own custom runs. "If you are someone who likes endless replayability, you will love this update," developer Little Leo Games says. Read the rest of the story... View the full article
When I was seven, I tore up a Winged Dragon of Ra Yu-Gi-Oh! card. I was moping at the top of the stairs, upset with my brother about something. When his back was turned I ripped the card in half, treating the now-unplayable Egyptian **** card as recompense for whatever slight he'd bestowed upon me. I remember this story all these years later because it fills me with regret, and while we have another Winged Dragon of Ra we play with today, I often wonder how much that un-ripped card is worth. Steam's newest simulation hit, TCG Card Shop Simulator, answers that exact question by letting you run a store yourself - and it's exploding on Steam. Read the rest of the story...

In 2024, it seems that every major release is followed by some small indie title that sweeps up all the players with its charm. And September is no different, as TCG Card Shop Simulator has attracted quite a few more players than even Frostpunk 2 or **** of War: Ragnarok. Released on Sept. 15, TCG Card Shop Simulator lets you “open your own local game store” and perfect the card shop experience for your virtual patrons, who won’t have to suffer those issues your only card shop in town has.

There are so many things about World of Warcraft: The War Within expansion that are worthy of praise, particularly for players like myself who enjoy playing the game mostly solo.

The War Within feels as though it is specifically catering to me in this respect, with numerous ways to explore the content of the expansion without social anxiety. View the full article

After a breakout showing at the 2022 Chess Olympiad, Dommaraju Gukesh took things a step further this year in Budapest as he helped lead his nation to first place while also securing the individual gold. With the Indian women’s team also winning their competition, this marked an unprecedented national double. Eight wins and two draws against the world’s elite: not a bad way to etch yourself into the chess record books at the tender age of eighteen. In 2022, Gukesh played on the first board of India’s second team (as the host nation has the opportunity to field three squads instead of one), ending the tournament with a 2867 tournament performance rating.

The final results for the winner of the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 are in, and I'm in love with the winning piece. Earlier this year, The Pokemon Company held a competition for fans of the series to submit some art that if it won, would be made into an official Pokemon Trading Card Game card (oh the winner gets $5000 too, which is nice). The results of the competition have finally been announced, and the winner is an artist by the name of Kazuki Minami, who drew maybe the best Pikachu card I've ever seen. You can see it at the end of a video that shows a bunch of the other submissions, or just look at the top of this page, but for those of you that don't want to do either of those things, it's a lovingly rendered piece showing Pikachu yawning and scratching its head with its foot, filled with such a real sense of life that can be so hard to do. "I'm truly honored to receive this prize," Minami said in a statement. "As this was my first time taking part in this contest, I wasn't sure what to draw and how to draw it. That's when my dog came into my sight being cute - I was inspired to draw Pikachu in such a way that reminds me of my dog. So the prize belongs to my dog as much as it does to me, and we're both extremely happy and honored. Thank you." Read more View the full article
Skyrim mods come in all shapes and sizes: for every DLC-scale quest mod we also get tiny, mechanical shifts in how we play the RPG. Even unassuming mods can prove to be the most popular. A simple change to the UI has over 17 million downloads, for example. To me, this is the beauty of the still-thriving community as even after 11 years, we're finding ways to rewrite our experience across Tamriel. Today, another small creation with huge ambition grabbed my attention, and if utilized properly it could change how we interact with Skyrim mods forever. Read the rest of the story...
