Newest surreal deckbuilding games

Dreams that deal cards are the thread here, and these newest picks lean into the surreal side of deckbuilding. In Out Of Hands you shape a hand from odd body parts and found objects while facing your own memories, while Shroom and Gloom pairs dungeon crawling with two decks to manage for fighting and exploring. Inscryption adds cabin puzzles and shifting rules around its creature cards, so you keep drafting, tweaking and rethinking your deck through each strange run.
