Commonplace

Yu-Gi-Oh

Konami

Andrew Musselman introduced me to this game - which I'd seen before but never played. Lots of common CCG mechanics but more… terrible. The cards seem to all be one-off cases and absurd combinations. It's a garbage dump of mechanics with no reasonable interaction. Worst of all, this game gave me the opposite of a family-game feeling: When I won it felt like luck, but when I lost it felt like I'd played poorly. How awful is that?
