A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee's mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that's not magic the gathering, too predatory).

Edit: Just bought slay the spire and it is really fun so far. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I liked Black Book more than Inscryption. it's about a young evil witch in a fantasy version of eastern europe, and you cast spells by stringing a combination of cards together that are curses or blessings. There are some encounters that use puzzle decks, but mostly you build your own deck as you progress and get new cards.

it's heavily steeped specifically in slavic mythology, which is different from most worldbuilding using viking or celtic or the like. So you meet things like leshys instead of trolls.
