Kings of War vs Splendor
Kings of War
Kings of War is an MMO game that has an intriguing blend of elements from both RPG and strategy. Set in, presumably, a fictionalized version of ancient Greece, you’ll play as a general who is embroiled in the conflict between the three major warring factions, Sparta, Thebes and Athens. The game will have you recruit the best heroes to led your battalions, develop your city so that it’s prosperous, and conquer rival territories. If you do well, you might even rise up the ranks and end up being crowned as King of the faction you’ve fought for!Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
