It is far from my favorite game, but I think Star Realms fits this category. Super simple deck builder, super quick to play, super cheap ($13 on Amazon) and a small package (can fit in your pocket).

Wow, Vito Gesualdi from White Wizard Games here (creators of Star Realms). We are super amazed to have made the top fifty list, especially since this is both our first digital game release and the game has only been out for what, two months now? Glad you guys are loving the app!

As a heads up, we have lots of great suggestions coming from the community and we're working to integrate a bunch of them. Also, keep an eye out for our first expansion, which should add a new chapter to the campaign mode and a host of cool new cards!

I'd also suggest trying out the physical game if you can ever find it at MSRP (or don't mind paying scalper prices on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/White-Wizard-Games-Realms-Deckbuilding/dp/B00HRGMPIU). We've got a third (and forth) printing on the way and four mini-expansion sets coming around the holidays.

Oh and uh, feel free to challenge 'Vito' on your device. I promise I won't hurt you too bad... ;D

Almost all of these are $15 and under (plus shipping):

You may want to try Star Realms, it's not magic, but it's a fun deckbuilding game that doesn't require you buy a crap ton of stuff. Essentially each deck of cards is enough for two people, and you can add more decks to play with up to 6 people. The rules are easy so new players will be able to jump right in and have fun with you. Check it out :)

u/HappyTreesAndFrogs · 2 pointsr/boardgames

Well you have two options.

Either get the original game or the sequal Colony Wars. They should be around $15 each. They are both base games and play exactly the same so it doesn’t matter which one you pick up. If you like it then you can do a bit of research on where to go next.

Alternatively if you have a smart phone or a Steam account there is a free digital version on Android, iPhone, and Steam. The free version is you vs. the computer and a campaign mode. The paid version unlocks online and local multiplayer modes and additional campaign content. But the free version is enough to let you figure out if you actually want to buy the physical version.

Assuming you want to spend half of your money:

Star Realms: http://www.amazon.com/White-Wizard-Games-Realms-Deckbuilding/dp/B00HRGMPIU

Sushi Go: http://www.amazon.com/Sushi-Go-Pick-Pass-Card/dp/B00J57VU44

One is a deck builder like dominion, the other is drafting like 7Wonders. (If you want 4 player star realms pick up two copies). That is a grand total of $24/$36. If you add Coup OR/and Resistance/ Resistance Avalon:

http://www.amazon.com/Coup-Card-Game-Resistance-Universe/dp/B00GDI4HX4/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1417653537&sr=1-1&keywords=coup

http://www.amazon.com/Indie-Boards-Cards-AVA1IBC-Resistance/dp/B009SAAV0C/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1417653562&sr=1-1&keywords=resistance+avalon

Which are similar (made by the same people), you could be three games in for 40 bucks.

Then add a heavier game or two medium sized games-- check out TableTop, or our "What did you play this week" threads for some ideas-- and you come out with a nice collection of games (5 or six of them) for about 100 bucks.


I'm not saying you have to get these exact games, but think about a few smaller card games with a bigger game for the most bang for the buck.

The resistance (avalon preferably) is 100% worth it since it plays 5-10... but what about days when you only have 4, etc. Catan can't do all the work forever.


I can give better recs if you edit to add more info; even if it's just things like "I like space. The people I play with like space... and Pirates!"

How about Jaipur or Hive Pocket? Mr Jack Pocket is also wonderful. Star Realms is the best micro game of the year IMHO, and scales past 2P with multiple decks. Coup is also a lot of fun and quick. I personally do not like Cheaty Mages at all.

u/Scipion · 2 pointsr/slaythespire

Both Star Realms and Ascension are available on Steam and Android (don't know about iOS) I highly recommend giving them a play. You can find physical copies of those two, and Dominion at any local game store. Star Realms is especially a steal since you can just buy one small deck of cards and it comes with everything you need to play.

I seriously love Star Realms and look how stupid cheap it is. It's one of the most fun 1v1 games I know of. It's easy to learn and there is a ton of depth to game play. Plus some really great expansions and add-ons.

u/ExpendableGuy · 2 pointsr/boardgames

If you enjoy Ascension, you'll probably also like Star Realms -- available on iOS here and Amazon here. It is strictly two player, but you can purchase an additional deck to have it play up to four.

Ok, a $20 budget is way tougher than I expected. (Most of my normal recommendations hit around $25).

[Hive Pocket] (https://www.miniaturemarket.com/tci013.html) - $17.09 - Great chess-like strategy that can be played anywhere. The components feel great, and I really like the travel size. Plays equally well at a cafe, beach, patio, or coffee table.


Flip City - $16.06 - As a disclaimer, this is a very light deckbuilder. This game works better as a "simple zen game to decompress with" than a "game to ponder and analyze". However, it's pretty good for a light deckbuilder.

Valley of the Kings: Afterlife - $15.11 - Some people love this one, other people hate it. I fall in the former camp. This is a more unique "zen" deckbuilder that has you sacrificing your high-powered cards to convert them to victory points. One of the common complaints is that it is too easy. There are a few variants on BGG that address this.

Star Realms - $13.61 - Another "light-ish" deckbuilder. This one feels quite luck-based, but it has a quick set-up and tear down, and plays at a decent clip as well.

u/la_watson · 1 pointr/boardgames

Great List, we'll have to check some of them out.

Our absolute favorite <$20 travel games have been for a while:

  1. Star Realms
  2. Kamisado Pocket (amazon.com lists it as more expensive, but it's <$20 almost everywhere else)
  3. Hive Pocket
u/Squ4d13 · 1 pointr/boardgames

I have been enjoying Smash Up with my wife lately, but you could also go with something more like Pandemic instead. There is always Star Realms and Dominion too. I hear good things about Lord of Waterdeep with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion for wife/husband play, but I have not played myself yet.

u/KingHavana · 1 pointr/boardgames

Yeah, currently $42 on amazon.
