6 takes!
Wolfgang Kramer’s ingeniously simple card game with “bullheads”
6 takes! - Wolfgang Kramer’s ingeniously simple card game with “bullheads” - now as an app.
The aim of the game is to avoid getting cards. Each card you have to pick up costs you points for each bullhead on it. The player with the fewest bullheads at the end of the game is the winner. It sounds easier than it is, players will need some great tactics and perhaps a little luck.
6 takes! is regarded as a modern classic among card games and has been sold all over the world.
It has won the German “Games Prize” and has also been nominated “Game of the year”.

Tsuro - The Game of The Path
It’s like a holiday for your mind…
It’s really is. As a visual art teacher and board-game enthusiast, I’d fall in love and buy Tsuro for mobile (my android phone) as well as Steam version. It’s the best purchase I ever had and felt with all digital-adaptation board-games or tabletop out there.
Honestly if the developer could even manage to put matchmaking without delay from other players (like online PVP) that would be much-much-much greater in the long run! Also if somehow we can customize our own ‘stones’ and change them with personal 3D characters or objects: it’s heaven sent.

Tsuro is a simple puzzle board game that is easy to learn but hard to master. Kind of like chess where you need to plan several moves in advance. The game consists of you picking a colored stone and drawing 3 tiles. These tiles have lines on them which your stone will follow along a path. Each player places a tile in front of their stone to move it in a certain direction. But be careful, other players can make your stone follow a path off the board if you are to close to their stone. There are a few different game modes you can play. Survival: be the last stone still on the board. Longest Path: travel the farthest distance by the end of the game. Most Loops: gain more loops than anyone else by crossing over your own path. Solo: this is just a relaxing mode to see how far and how long you can stay on the board. Bomb: This solo mode you need to make a path quickly because a fuse will try and catch up to your stone, getting faster as time goes on.

Always heard about the boardgame but never had the chance to play it and now that i did I can see why it’s so popular!
The DA is very well done: plays smooth, good sfx, AI feels solid (haven’t tried Hard yet though). The game has already -I think?- all of the the expansions available that can be played in a 1v1 against AI or with another player online.
I must say this is very polished already for being EA for less than two weeks!
As per how stability goes, I played 3 games with a friend yesterday and we only got two freezes/crashes but we could keep playing by simply restarting the game: no game-breaking bugs found yet.

A very faithful adaptation of the famous evolutionary card game. The first one that found the concept of deckbuilding during the game. Many other games followed this inspiration, such as Star Realms, Ascension, War of Omens, for the main ones. If you know of any others, please respond.
This is a concept not to be confused with these two:
-
Deckbuilding before the game, the player builds a deck (example: Magic the Gathering).
-
Deckbuilding during the game, without being able to swap cards, during a quest (example: Slay the spire).

Yachu Dice
Simple, nice and clean.
Lot’s of fun with friends; It offers both local and remote play multiplayer.
Overall it’s very worth it, but I think it needs a couple more features like support for more players (6/8), multiplayer online would be nice though not necessary and mayyyyybe some dice customisation or something like that.
Definitely recommended and I hope it keeps updating and maybe gain a decent player base! (one like Nerts! Online).

It’s awful, just awful.
The UI looks like it’s made for windows XP and it looks so bad that It’s hard to understand it.
And since that’s a card games simulator and should be able to make/import card games in there, It does every thing that has nothing with card games. making cards and decks is kinda complicated. AND THE WORST PART IS THAT I CAN’T IMPORT ALL OF MY CARD IMAGES AT THE SAME TIME I MUST UPLOAD IT AND RENAME IT ONE BY ONE. In that case, to upload my game that has 450 CARDS I WOULD TAKE HOURS JUST TO IMPORT IT TO THE GAME WHILE OTHER WEBSITES TAKES COUPLE OF SECONDS.

Cat Lady - The Card Game
Now here’s a great little game to kill some time and unwind from a stressful day.
Cat Lady is a simple but delightful card game with easy to relatively challenging rounds depending on your style of play, matched with adorable artwork and cute sound effects that’ll certainly give you a smile. The music is soft and jazzy, but a little repetitive.
Remote Play works great most of the time, though can be a bit buggy with not recognising the second player’s mouse movements on occasion (restarting the game or even Steam sometimes fixed this, other times you just had to give it a couple minutes in-game to catch up). Playing this way won’t award any achievement points to any of the other players, only the host. So if you AND your friends are achievement hunting, you’ll need to take turns hosting.

Purry Cute Card Game!
Cat Lady – The Card Game is a nearly purr-fectly reproduction of the physical card game created by Josh Wood.
Two to four can play, human or AI, in Classic or Challenge mode.
In Classic mode, AI comes in Easy, Medium, and Hard flavors. In a nice nod to creator Josh Wood’s dedicating the game to his childhood feline friends and that males can be crazy cat ladies, too, the Easy AIs are all characterized as little boys. Multiplayer is hot-seat style, and the game seems enabled for the new Steam Remote Play.

MineSweepVR
MineSweepVR is based on the popular classic game, “Minesweeper”. But this time you dive into the virtual world to find the mines!
Features:
- Single player
The game as you know it. Find the mines on an easy, medium or hard minefield.
- Local multi-player
Now you can find the mines with two (or more) people. One of you will be in the virtual world, but he/she won’t have the necessary information to discover where the
mines are. That information is available to the people watching the screen. You have to communicate together to find the mines!

Other than the standard minefields, you also have the chance to make up your own minefield. Define how large the field will be and how many mines you have to find.
Pro Strategy Football 2022
I came into this series last year with Pro Strategy Football 2021. A game which, for an old time gamer sparked a lot of nostalgia in the way it was presented. There were things missing like game keeping records for head to head etc I fixed that little itch with a spreadsheet and small things like not being able to navigate to a players career stats from any screen. Still the game was a little gem.
Those things have been addressed with this addition along with numerous other improvements and continued optimizations as the game feels tighter and slicker when loading if that makes sense.

A tremendous effort by a lone indie developer with a day job. This game was created with love and passion for the game. Know what you are buying first, because it won’t be for everybody. Please read the description and feel free to ask things in the game forum first if you wish. The developer (Kerry) is very honest, open, and transparent - and very consumer friendly and a great guy! (plus it is a really terrific community too).
The game’s strength is the on-field gameplay - and in that department, it is unheralded, producing an accurate, realistic simulation of the game. You will not be controlling the players with a gamepad - it is focused on coaching, or if chosen, spectating games. In the coaching department there are thousands of plays that can be designed on the fly. This year many new formations (both classic and modern) were added and entire leagues (or individual teams) can be tailored to utilise them in ways that create their own characteristics or flavor (and there are mods done by really talented mod authors covering almost the entire NFL, USFL, and various other leagues too –- including fantasy leagues and teams).

Khet 2.0
As promessed, here is an update to my original review. The original is below.
The devs certainly do their best for us. Every bug or question has been answered and followed up and as far as I know, has been solved. The bugs that I have encountered seem to be fixed now.
So thumbs up for the developer!
Read my original message for the rest of the game:
This game certainly has its flaws, but it is a very nice game and its core usually works.
At this time of writing, I experience crashes every time I try to do a rematch. No problem, I go back to the main menu and start a new game. One time, I had a crash mid-game (and I think I was winning). Too bad.

To summarize in few words - the game is a gorgeous mixture of Chess with Deflektor, taking the best ideas from both. ( (Btw. - does anyone know what the 2nd game is? ;-)
! a computer game for some 8bit machines from 80’s, you may find some free remakes in the net, eg. Deflektor X4)
Funs of lasers and even light sabres will realize soon that there is not much of an FPS here ;-) Just a ‘boring’, almost static board with some 2-colour pieces. And some rules that you have to read about - on how to play and win or lose…
