<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ios-games-collectible-card-game-edition' title="The best iOS games: Collectible Card Game edition"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/04/hearthstone-blackrock-ipad.jpg?itok=hewmA6Rz' />[/url]</p> <p class="intro">Enjoy these collectible card games, without wasting any paper.</p> <p>An iOS device feels like the perfect fit for a collectible card game: An iPhone is about the size of a card, and an iPad screen is big enough to display a series of dealt hands. Plus, who wouldn't want to give up on the hassle of accumulating real-life paper? Finding good collectible card games among a sea of iOS games (http://www.imore.com/iOS-games) on offer can be quite the daunting task, especially given how many CCGs turn out to be boring, unrelenting cash-ins rather than innovative games that revolve around complex strategic concepts. Here's a roundup of the greats.</p> <!--break--> <h2>1. Hearthstone</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZEtpUWaNp7Y?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-zetpuwanp7y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>It should come as no surprise to any CCG fan that this new Blizzard favorite appears here; this digital card game (http://www.imore.com/hearthstone) has crept into the hearts of CCG fans everywhere, especially those who have a familiarity and affinity with its Warcraft aesthetic. The game has also been lauded for its careful implementation of multiplayer interaction; there are only a few phrases on offer that you can direct towards your opponents, and none of them are salty.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hearthstone-heroes-warcraft/id625257520?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>2. Calculords</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ios-games-collectible-card-game-edition' title="The best iOS games: Collectible Card Game edition"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/07/Calculords_iOS_screenshot.jpg?itok=MhmxGsWT' />[/url]</p> <p>Calculords is no ordinary CCG. There's a card-collecting element central to the game, of course, but you'll also need to use mathematical tactics to beat the game's bosses. The multiplayer component of Calculords has been "coming soon" for a while now; until then, the campaign can help you level up your math powers.</p> <ul><li>$2.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calculords/id777125004?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Order now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>3. Fantasy Rivals</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ios-games-collectible-card-game-edition' title="The best iOS games: Collectible Card Game edition"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/07/Fantasy-Rivals_iOS_screenshot.jpg?itok=5te3RD-j' />[/url]</p> <p>This follow-up to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/boostr/id329963931?at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Urban Rivals[/url] (not to be confused with Square Enix's Heavenstrike Rivals (http://www.heavenstrikerivals.com/), yet another CCG) features an army-building strategic component its predecessor lacked. Other than that, it's a similar game with a more fantastical skin laid on top of it.</p> <ul><li>Free - Download now (http://itunes.com/app-link)</li> </ul><h2>4. Card City Knights</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-ios-games-collectible-card-game-edition' title="The best iOS games: Collectible Card Game edition"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/07/CardCityKnights_iOS_screenshot.jpeg?itok=GuKQyCmG' />[/url]</p> <p>Like Calculords, Card City Knights lacks a multiplayer component, but this iOS title has no known plans to include the option. The game is more of an adventure RPG with collectible card game mechanics mixed-in: The in-game universe features a lot of folks who are super-into a fictional card game, and predictably enough, you'll have to compete with them all in order to gain traction in this virtual world.</p> <ul><li>$1.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/card-city-nights/id816440018?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Order now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>5. Elemental Kingdoms</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yCFdzt-QMfI?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-ycfdztqmfi" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>This is a more traditional CCG along the lines of Magic: The character designs and aesthetic aren't exactly innovative, but the deep strategic thinking required to win this game may still surprise you. Read our review (http://www.imore.com/elemental-kingdoms-ios-review) for a more in-depth dive into this game's depths.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elemental-kingdoms-ccg/id688620158?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Your favorites?</h2> <p>Do you play any other collectible card games on iOS that you believe deserve to be on this list? Or do you just stick with Magic: The Gathering?</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/> <a href="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <a href="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <a href="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://rc.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/a2.img" border="0"/> (http://da.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/a2.htm)<img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/234566073155/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/486990a8/sc/28/a2t.img" border="0"/><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/486990a8/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~4/c9f9jdv5moI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: The best iOS games: Collectible Card Game edition (http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/c9f9jdv5moI/story01.htm) |
