Trading card gamesoffer an experience you’re not likely to get from any other kind of gaming. They combine the creativity of deckbuilding with the camaraderie of coming together to play, and, best of all, they’re updated all the time. Whether it’sMagic: The Gathering,Yu-Gi-Oh!,Pokemon, or any of the other dozens of TCGs out there, you only have to wait a few months before the game will be revitalised with a new expansion.
2024 not only sees the launch of new TCGs like Star Wars: Unleashed, but also some of the smaller games vying for the top spot. It’s not just a big year for Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokemon: Lorcana, UniVersus, One Piece Card Game and more are all putting out some really exciting things.
