Punk Wars vs Splendor
Punk Wars
Punk Wars is a turn-based strategy game featuring four warring factions, the Steampunk, the Dieselpunk, Atompunk, and Steelpunk – no cyberpunk though since it would likely be unfair to the other factions. In this game, you’ll get to battle for the supremacy of your faction of choice and dominate the battlefield. Each faction comes with its own unique units, buildings, and special resource. There’s also a map with plenty of Points-of-Interests to explore and events to respond to as you play.In a nutshell, Punk Wars is a 4x grand strategy game that’s designed for beginners to the genre or for experienced players to enjoy some casual play. It’s not as in-depth as many other popular games within its genre, but it does feature a refreshing theme, really cool art and 3D assets, and some fun albeit small-ish maps. So, if you know what you’ll be getting going in, you might find Punk Wars to be a rather fun game to play.
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.
