Individual who played Magic the Gathering in high school who fell off after they stopped having the money to spend on it loves Slay the Spire, more at 11.

Genuinely though, this the most masterful deckbuilder I have played outside Magic which has a 30 year head start on this lol. The diversity of builds, the strategy required to get through every fight and the ability to feel like you are simultaneously in the drivers seat yet never comfortable makes this impossible to put down.

I probably have a phase every year since this came out where I put like 30-40 hours over a month, and I will likely to continue doing so unless it has its Rogue Legacy moment where the sequel comes out and basically makes this one reductive.

If you have any interest in the deckbuilding genre, start here.
