As per a friend's request/suggestion, I tried Prismata today. It's a card game, but it's trying to employ a different gameflow from games such as Hearthstone. If anything it reminds me a bit of Magic, but I'm not all too familiar with the latter, so I couldn't accurately tell. A major difference is that it's purely skill-based, because both players have the same "deck", and you can always see all cards in play or still waiting to be built. No luck, no secrets, no matches that are uneven from the very beginning.
For the few hours I played it, it was really fun. (This was mostly matches against the AI for practice.) However, the game's very low on players right now - 16 when I logged in. It is technically in alpha, where you have to buy access, but in reality you can get a free alpha code from their subreddit, so you can't entirely attribute the lack of players to that. But yeah, this means you'll be waiting quite a while for a match, and will probably be matched against someone much better than you.
I kind of hope it survives until launch, because I really like the idea behind it.
