Splendor vs The Battle of Polytopia
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.
The Battle of Polytopia
The Battle of Polytopia is a fun turn-based strategy game that has a really unique art style and is the flagship game of the small indie game studio in Sweden, Midjiwan. Choose any of the tribes available and set off on an exciting adventure across a rich and diverse world filled with places to explore, and areas to claim for your empire. Best yet, the game generates a random map whenever you start a new game, giving you literally unlimited replayability.Since its release, The Battle of Polytopia has been really well-received, rocketing the small indie company to substantial fame, which admittedly is a pretty high feat, especially for a company's first game. So, if you are a fan of turn-based strategy games, you'll want to try this game out.
