Hearthstone can single-handedly be thanked for blowing open the digital card game market on PC, but it seems like a year doesn’t go by without a change that infuriates its players and sets off an exodus. And when that happens, other digital card games benefit.
We’re in a golden age for CCGs on PC, and there are a lot of fantastic flavors to try. Even better, since Hearthstone remains the top dog for now, the free-to-play games on this list are extremely generous in comparison as a way of getting new players invested quicker.
Of course excellent singleplayer card games like Slay the Spire and Monster Train are an option too, and you might want to look into the likes of Sentinels of the Multiverse, Card Hunter, Cardpocalypse, and Griftlands while you’re at it.
These, however, are specifically nine digital CCGs that are both a lot of fun to play, and do something different from Hearthstone that makes them worth checking out.
