The card game genre on Android and iOS has many sub-categories. But what they all have in common is the use of cards as the central element of the gameplay.
Card games offer a wide range of more or less competitive experiences, and you're sure to find something to suit you, whether you're a fan of strategy or more casual games.
What are the different types of card game on Android and iOS?
Trading card games (also known as TCGs ): the most famous example of this type of game is Hearthstone. The aim? Build decks of cards when you're not in combat, and then take on an opponent with a different deck. The cards represent characters, items or equipment, depending on the theme of the game in question.
Deckbuilding games: unlike TCGs, deckbuilding-style card games on Android and iOS allow you to build your deck in real time, while playing against an opponent.
Board games: you're probably familiar with mobile card games adapted from games such as Solitaire or Uno.
Strategic card games: these titles are similar to deckbuilding games, with a much more developed strategic element.
