Deck Building Games

Deck Building Games are games where every player starts with the same cards, and you acquire more cards to build your hand during the game. Ultimately, the goal is to have the strongest hand and destroy your fellow players.

It’s no secret that my nickname is The Angry Gamer. But, honestly, no other game type fuels my rage like Deck Building Games. Here’s why, I spend all my time building a perfect, flawless, and unbeatable deck, only to have another play brutally destroy my efforts in one round. However, these games are also a blast, especially if you bring destruction! There’s no better feeling than watching that gleam disappear from your opponent’s eyes. I promise it isn’t hateful. I’m just competitive, and you should be too!

Final Thoughts

You should plan your games! Please pick a game well before your game night. At least one person needs to be able to explain the game. I recommend hitting up Youtube for instruction videos. Watch It Played is fantastic for directions and instructions. Rodney Smith is very detailed and so helpful!! Understanding how a game works and the rules you must follow before you begin playing would be best. Nothing loses people faster than waiting for someone to figure out the instructions. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but trust me, it’s well worth it! Pick a game, learn how to play, and play. It’s that simple. Once you’re done and the game is over, remember to come back and tell us about your experience! Browse other Board Game Categories Here.
