https://boardgamegee...n-building-card-game
Lately i've played a bunch of a card game called Boss Monster (i've only played two-player). It feels a little bit like Star Realms -- the images and cards are fun to look at and read.
Each player builds a dungeon and tries to kill heroes that visit them.
It plays really fast and fun, with a good amount of solitaire feel but also plenty of take-that and press your luck elements.
There's a lot of luck but a ton of strategy. Most of all it's *FUN* as heck.
I would say however that while the basic rules are simple, there are a fair number of non-obvious specific card rules and interactions on cards that can be confusing -- this isn't a game for young kids who aren't quite sophisticated in terms of planning out multiple interactions.
Really great game, highly recommended (there are expansions too).
