Hi I am looking for a **free ** game with simple mechanics, competitive and online is a plus. plus suggest games that don’t require steam, I don’t want to install that software

I used to play vanis.io but people spoiled it by playing in teams while I like playing solo, while other games of the genre (slither, agar, paper.io) couldn’t stick with them

I played mindustry, and wasted tens of hours, until I found out That I was playing campaigns without having unlocked enough research to beat the master, the game didn’t have the right mechanisms to orient me to the winnable campaigns, and I ended hating it for that.

I am a simple guy looking for a simple game to distress (not candy crush simple)

    You like card games? I used to play Magic in High School, but I ain’t got time for two hour matches anymore.

    I’ve been playing Hearthstone pretty consistently for the past 6-7 years. It’s similar to Magic, but much more simple and fast paced.

    The more you play, the more cards you unlock and the more competitive of a deck you can play. You CAN spend real money, but I rarely do. I can usually get 50-60 “free” packs by saving up my gold between expansion releases.

    There are many similar games out there. This one’s my favorite, but feel free to check out some of its relatives! Good luck!

      Thanks, never played card games, but I am open to trying new things, as long as it doesn’t take too much time.

        Some matches are over in 5-10 minutes, but some decks try to drag you along until you run out of steam, and those can take a while. If you give it a go, I’d recommend giving yourself plenty of time to go through the tutorial and learn the game. Especially if you’ve never played a collectable card game before.
