      Technically deck builders were invented by the physical card game Dominion in 2008, but Slay the Spire really revolutionized the PvE element to it.

      Yes. Also worth pointing out that TTS , tabletop simulator, on Steam has many very useable deck-builders. Inc. My favourite iteration: Mage Knight. I've grown to prefer it to the tangible game.

    I'll shout out Roguebook as a slept on one not a lot of people seem to rate. One of my favourites and the exploration mechanic adds a nice twist. The Fugaro DLC is essential though as it is a bit lacking in variety with only the 4 base characters.
    Ring of Pain is another I thoroughly enjoyed.
    I'm loving some of the non card based games where you collect other things like Luck Be a Landlord, Spin Hero and Dungeon Clawler too.
    Looking forward to listening later!

      Gamer communities have always had a higher than average share of social outcasts and fringe elements. Certain types are just more in vogue these days, methinks. Not a shift in the dynamic I care for - despite being fruity myself - as it seems most are mentally ill. But I guess that's always described a disproportionate fraction of gamers.
