Highlights

• Board games test reaction time, decision-making and card-building skills. To compete against experienced players, appropriate training is essential.
• Popular trading card games like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon have online clients for participation and competition. Not all games have one, but could greatly benefit from it.
• TCG games like Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, and One Piece don’t have official online companions. A platform can increase accessibility.

Board games are perfect for testing your reaction time, decision-making, and deck-building skills. It’s not always easy to know which cards to choose or what strategies other players will use during an in-person tournament. This can be a little intimidating when you have to compete against players who know what they’re doing, which is why on-demand training is essential.

Fortunately, many of the most popular trading card games, like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon, have online clients that can serve as an entry point to the games or a way to compete in alternative formats. However, not every trading card game has an online client, so here are a few that would greatly benefit from it.

8 Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Protect your base

Star Wars Unlimited is a relatively new trading card game that brings the characters and battles to life. With up-and-coming card games, it’s important that casual players can get into it and test out a few decks before jumping into the real game. This is a great way to get you to spend all your money on trading cards.

Star Wars Unlimited has special rules that allow for both ground and space combat. It also uses leaders that add a few extra tactics to each game. Star Wars Unlimited lives up to its name and has no restrictions on which cards can go into which decks. It’s a free-for-all game with a small cost penalty.

7 Digimon

Raise the perfect Digimon

One game that has risen up the rankings is the Digimon TCG. It’s a complete overhaul of the original Digimon TCG, with new rules, card art, and characters to collect. However, one thing is noticeably missing: an online companion app to help players learn the game. This can be useful for explaining some of the Digimon TCG’s unique gameplay elements.

One example is how resources or memory work in the game, as well as the aspect of raising Digimon, which can lead to unique strategies. Instead of Digimon having a set Digivation, you can use any as long as the colors match. By raising your Digimon from an egg to its Mega form, you can have a unique Digimon with specially crafted abilities to destroy your opponent.

6 A piece

Become King of the Pirates

One Piece is one of the longest-running animes of all time. With over 1,000 episodes, it’s no surprise that the trading card game has gained a lot of traction since its release. Despite this, there is no official companion app for the One Piece Card Game to make things easier. There is an unofficial card game simulator, which proves that there is a market for a companion app.

Nothing is better for a trading card game than being able to play it on the computer. This can include online tournaments and a chance to practice with real people outside of a card shop or local tournament.

5 Lorcana

Disney fans, unite

One card game that is destined for success is Lorcana. With hundreds of iconic Disney songs, characters, locations, and more, it is sure to pique the interest of animation and Disney fans alike. It’s only a matter of time before Lorcana gets an official companion app, but at the moment there isn’t one in sight.

Unlike other collectible card games, Lorcana is all about racing against your opponent to be the first to collect 20 Lore. This can be achieved by tapping different characters. Some cards will help you generate more Lore per round, while others can prevent your opponent from doing so. Disney songs are perfectly implemented as action cards that can be sung by any of the characters for a fee, or by the respective characters for free.

4 Magic: The Gathering (A good story)

Requires a third customer

Magic The Gathering is one of the oldest collectible card games of all time. It is also a game for rich people, as many cards are extremely expensive. The card game is quite simple to understand, with lands being used as resources and keywords making playing cards easier.

Although Magic: The Gathering already has two online clients, they are far from what players expect from an online platform. Magic Arena, while great for learning the basics of Magic, is not for extensive competition. Magic Online, on the other hand, requires you to pay real money to compete, which is not exactly the most free-to-play friendly game.

3 Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

Elegant cards need more platforms

One game that is played at local events is the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game. With a franchise as big as Final Fantasy, it’s surprising that the game isn’t more popular in the West. An online client could help remedy this by providing more visibility and creating an entry point for the game.

The game follows many of the same rules as other trading card games. However, there are also different formats, such as pre-construction, drafts, and more. Although the game is geared more towards fans of the franchise, the look and feel of the cards are amazing, with a beautiful deluxe back.

2 universe

Everything against everything

Universus is a unique game where there aren’t always set characters. Instead, the whole premise of the card game is that you visit different universes and use their characters in your deck. This can mean having a deck consisting of Godzilla Monsters, My Hero Academia, and even Street Fighter. Depending on which sets you’re playing, the rules can be different.

Combining these genres into a single trading card game isn’t easy, but Universus pulls it off. While many of these cards are collectibles, a client could help interested players learn the game using the card sets they own.

1 Flesh and blood

A collectible card game with role-playing gameplay

One card game with a cult following is Flesh and Blood. It combines RPG elements with Magic The Gathering and, as the title suggests, is a game that is best played in person.

Despite the idea of ​​playing this game in Flesh And Blood, it would still be an interesting way to reach a new audience. Flesh and Blood offers many unique gameplay elements, such as choosing your character class, selecting a hero, and using their intellect to determine how many cards you get to draw each turn.
