We discuss the appeal of a strong theme, whether it involves aliens, railroad building, or wide-scale space exploration. From Nemesis to Ticket to Ride, we unveil the magic of immersing oneself in a well-crafted theme.
Additionally, we examine the intersection of card games and digital adaptations. We explore the advantages and limitations of games like Hearthstone and Slay the Spire, where digital platforms enhance gameplay and enable new mechanics.
