The most obvious necessity for a game to be considered a CCG title would have to be that it must contain cards in some shape or form. Thanks to the world of video games, there are a ton of ways to utilize cards in gaming such as titles like Hands of Fate or The Witcher 3—in the Witcher 3, the card game acts a mini game known as Gwent—but no matter how the game works, card are simply a must. For our first two examples, we will be exploring some of the more recent card games that have come out so you can get a nice understanding of some modern day CCG titles. Now then let us dive into our examples. Don’t worry we will walk you through this so you come out fully understanding what we mean.

Fable Fortune takes the large RPG world of Fable and throws it into a card game. Players will fight with one of several hero classes against either other players or cooperatively against large scale bosses. Like the Fable series, Fable Fortune is based on the good and evil system. Each alignment can change the flow of combat giving players new cards or new skills to use to take down their foes. Fable Fortune will appeal to those who loved the aesthetic of Fable and equally love games like Magic: The Gathering. Now then, draw your hand and let’s see where your quest will take you next.
