Incredible game with no hidden information and no RNG (except at the very top skill level, there is some RNG in some sets depending on who goes first/second). Too bad not many people play :(

Fun game, the AI is great and it has good features for learning like being able to roll back turns and sets of puzzles to teach concepts. Also, not really a card game. There's no deck, and both players have the same hand of 'cards' to play from, which is always full. So it's more like a unique board game or something with a card aesthetic. Give it a shot, it's free.

Prismata is a beautiful game. It may seem daunting at first, but the more you learn, the more you can see its beauty. The campaign is helpful as a tutorial for the first 5 missions or so. After that, give the 1v1 a try against some easy bots to figure out what you're aiming for because that's where the beauty is at. The tutorial is puzzley and fun, but not nearly as satisfying as the head to head fights. Learn what you can from some bots and casual matches, then watch some Msven and Amalloy (Alan Malloy) on Youtube to learn some finer points of strategy and you'll be well on your way. This game has an unlimited skill ceiling. You'll be learning new unit combos and interactions for as long as you play. It's worth your time.

Since this is going f2p in a few hours, here my review. I bought Prismata Early Access in spring this year after seeing a video about it and it was worth every cent! I even bought further supporter packs beyond the Early Access price. Prismata is a neat (complex) strategy game... basically SC2 but turn based and without map. It has an easy entry through the first campaign (which is free... see pricing model below), which introduces the basic concepts and those are further extended in the combat trainings. After that one can basically start plaing against human players or bot in the core game. It has a high learning curve though because of the mass of units, but there is already a lot of material out there for those willing to learn and the community is really helpful. If you managed to climb that curve, the game gets really satisfying. Because there is no RNG except who goes first, you either win because you were better, or you lose because you were worse... but most of the time see why and learn from your mistakes (and if not, hop into the replay and analyze the game ;) ). Win-Win basically :) Since the game is f2p, there is no reason to not at least try it. Beyond the campaign because the core game is quite different from those puzzles (though there are fun), be it against basic bots. Pricing: The multiplayer part is completely FREE! The only thing buyable are skins for your units and some single player stuff (campaigns 2+, puzzle packs). TLDR: The game is free and insanely good and fun, though pretty difficult. No reason not to try it if you like to think for a change.

As someone who can only play StarCraft 2 with ~50APM and failed to defend fast pool everytime, I really love Prismata. A very complex and interesting turn based strategy game. Even as a professional mathematician, I find puzzles and matches in this game deep, hard and very exciting. Different from most of the modern card/turn based strategy games, this game has almost no RNG (except the coinflip in the beginning of each match, and randomized advanced units, which are the same for both side), and all information is open to both side, so calculation and prediction play very very important role here. The learning curve is somehow steep. More or less like a good RTS game, there are things to memorize: common openings, tricks and trades... But luckliy, there are very good articles about these aspects already: google Prismata library. Once you get over the basics, every game becomes very exciting and unique. That said, this game is not for everyone. It is for those people who like rigorous strategy and calculation, and hate the gamble effect RNG brings. A very unique game, also well polished. And somehow to my surprise, the in game chat and the community is very friendly, helpful and very warmful towards new players.
