Monster Train 2

Card and Board Game Strategy Turn-Based Strategy

Summary

Built for methodical minds, Monster Train 2 doubles down on card and board game strategy with a roguelike deck-building core. Developed by Shiny Shoe and published by Big Fan Games, it launches on June 30, 2025, bringing new clans, multi‑floor defense, and layered drafting that encourage players to build, design, and craft synergistic engines. Each run asks for careful construction of units, spells, and artifacts, then rewards precise placement across train cars to engineer a victory. Modifiers, challenge runs, and meta‑progression create a blueprint for experimentation that strategy veterans can iterate on for hours. PC and Windows players will appreciate quick reads, crisp tooltips, and fast turns that keep planning front and center. For those mapping deck‑building strategy alongside turn‑based structure and a dash of infernal humor, it earns a spot next to card games like Slay the Spire while carving its own track through modern PC strategy games.
