Faeria vs Words with Friends
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
Words with Friends
Words with Friends is one of the most popular words games on the mobile platform for several years running. Developed and published by Zynga, the game was eventually ported over to the PCs through the social network, Facebook. In terms of gameplay, Words with Friends has similar mechanics with the timeless classic board game, Scrabble, but with some interesting twists that had made the game a lot more fun and entertaining. For instance, the placement of the bonus tiles in this game is quite different from a traditional Scrabble board, and of course, the board size a much larger in the former as well.Another interesting aspect that made Words with Friends more approachable especially to newcomers is that players aren't penalized for putting in incorrect words that were challenged by your opponent. The dictionary used in Words with Friends, however, is a lot more lenient and accepts quite a number of "new-gen words". It also offers leaderboards to keep track on the scores and real time matches against friends or other players online.
Words with Friends may now face a lot of competition from similar word games nowadays, but back when it was first released, the game was HUGE! The game is still fun today and with the exciting updates that Zynga releases from time to time, the game will be kept going for years to come.
