Frequently Asked Questions

The distinction is blurring in modern gaming. Traditionally, card games use only cards (Poker, Rummy), while board games include a board and other components. Modern 'card games' like Dominion or 7 Wonders are as complex as board games but use cards as the primary component. BoardGameGeek categorizes both under the board game umbrella.
Top card-centric games include 7 Wonders (civilization card drafting), Dominion (deck building), Race for the Galaxy (tableau building), Star Realms (two-player combat), The Crew (cooperative trick-taking), and Ark Nova (zoo building with a card-driven action system).
A living card game releases fixed expansion packs (everyone gets the same cards) rather than random booster packs like collectible card games (CCGs). This makes them more affordable and ensures a level playing field. Examples include Marvel Champions, Arkham Horror: The Card Game, and the retired Android: Netrunner.
