Griftlands

Card and Board Game Strategy Turn-Based Strategy

Summary

For those drawn to meticulous planning and deck construction, Griftlands blends card games, turn-based strategy, and RPG storytelling with a wry sci fi bite. Developed by Klei Entertainment and released on June 1, 2021, it invites players to design, build, and refine distinct combat and negotiation decks across multiple protagonists. Each run becomes a blueprint to craft new synergies, install grafts, and construct reputations that reshape branching quests. The tactics extend beyond battles, as route choices, social alliances, and resource management interlock like a well engineered tableau. On PC and Windows, it runs smoothly and suits quick sessions or deliberate marathon planning. Smart systems reward patience and foresight, making it a standout for strategy game reviews and deck building strategy enthusiasts searching for card games like Slay the Spire, but with negotiation as a second axis and narrative consequences that endure across playthroughs.
