Duelyst vs Nantucket
Duelyst
Duelyst is a free-to-play MMOCCG with an added turn-based and strategic gameplay and a rather epic storyline set in the beautiful world of Mythron. Although you'll be building decks using cards from five different factions and playing them, the cards will turn into awesome-looking 2D sprites when played on the board. Aside from the fast-paced gameplay, the board itself is also tactically designed, making the positions of each of your heroes incredibly important. The game has some really fast-paced mechanics and several game modes as well.Duelyst focuses more on online gameplay and as such, this game can be a tad bit competitive, but if you're not the "climb-the-ranks" sort, you can still enjoy the game as it is.

Will you finally be able to avenge Captain Ahab and put that monstrous beast to rest?In short, Nantucket is a truly impressive strategy/management game that puts you behind the wheel of your very own whaling ship. The game seems to not only has a storyline that continues where the classic literature Moby Dick left off, and also an engaging gameplay with a unique, turn-based combat system.
