Popular surreal deckbuilding games
Strange decks for strange dreams: these popular surreal deckbuilders ask you to draft and refine cards run after run, then spend them in turn-based battles against odd bosses. Inscryption traps you in a cabin where woodland cards feed puzzles around you, Out Of Hands turns grabbed objects into attacks from a body made of hands, and Shroom and Gloom pairs fighting cards with a second deck for exploring fungal tunnels.
