If you're looking to unwind with a few relaxing rounds of simple Solitaire, Nerts! Online won't fit the bill at all – but it sure is chaotic fun. It's a free competitive card game on Steam from Zachtronics, the creator behind brainy ...

In today's contest you can win a copy of Wingspan for Nintendo Switch! Apparently, Wingspan was a pretty big hit in the realm of board games. Who'da thunk that a game about collecting birds would wind up as such a banger? It's wild. Anyway,...

I'm not sure I would've crossed paths with Solitairica were it not for this whole 15 Days of Free Games promo over on the Epic Games Store, but yeah, I'll take it – a roguelike RPG riff on Solitaire sounds fun. If you're of a similar ...

In case you haven't been following along with Hearthstone, the last few weeks or so have been a doozy. Blizzard completely overhauled the game's reward system, much to the chagrin of most of the playerbase. After some Reddit sleuths discove...

Magic: The Gathering Arena often does random "free code" drops, and this time, they're giving away themed lands. Dubbed "Happy Little Lands," these basic cards are themed after the paintings of Bob Ross, and come in all five varieties (plai...

Kaladesh is back, and with it, an endless supply of Blossoming Defenses and Gearhulks. Man, that set was wild, wasn't it? Well, sets, to be precise. The 2016-2017 Kaladesh and Aether Revolt sets are now revived under one "remastered" banner...

Hearthstone is in a pretty decent spot right now. The current cadence includes big Battlegrounds patches between major standard expansions, and I'm really enjoying the seesaw approach there. Whenever standard is getting me down I have the o...

For the past several years, it's not uncommon to see a Magic: The Gathering meta where a single card archetype is defining the vast majority of competitive decks. We saw it with Oko, then we saw it with Uro. Now we're seeing it ag...
