Well - there is
Civilization 5+6
Europa Universalis 4 and Crusader Kings 2
and i wonder if gwents PvE will be too linear or non-repeatable or with PvE endgame
are there any other card games with pve elements worth checking?

Dragon Age Inquisition. Made me Taarsidath-an halsaam when I logged into Hex and got a primal off of a VIP pack.
Mass Effect 1-3
Mass Effect Andromeda
Battle Chasers Nightwar
Crypt of the Necrodancer

All kind of PvE games out there. I am currently enjoying Cook, Serve, Delicious 2(PC).

And no other cards have with good PvE elements is kind of why PvE players play Hex now and has been vocal about it. If there is another game out there with Hex level of PvE and is able to give out content faster, then I foresee many players would have moved on to that game.

If you enjoy turn based D&D games I can recommend Tales from Candlekeep Tomb of Annihilation, I'm loving it.

Picked up a half-price Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle on black Friday, so I've been playing that.

I'm also a latecomer to Divinity Original Sin: II.

thx for the hint, i love turn based games, will check it out today for in between clash waiting timesink

Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan (Ascension version)

Crusader Kings II
Europa Universalis III
Hearts of Iron III
Stellaris

I love Paradox games.

Also Nier: Automata. Game is pure art.

I need to revisit my Emperor of Britannia CKII save

Ascension: Deck Building Game
Hand Of Fate 2

You remember our venerable house, oppulent and imperial...

It is now a festering abomination ! I beg you...come back to our lands, claim your birthright, and deliver us from the clutches... of the Darkest Dungeon.

Tried the newest DLC? The guardian thing or whatever it was?

If you're talking about the crimson court DLC, yes, and it's great. Lots of new contents, a new questline worth at least 30 hours of tribulations and despair.

The newest DLC, " the color of madness" has just been announced, and I'll buy it as soon as it's available if it's only half as good as the last one.

Awesome. There was the minidlc with the new character class that I was talking about

FRA and Campaign.

Has anyone been able to sign up and try FFG Steam early release of The LOTR digital game?

I don't think it's actually in early access yet is it?

LOTR Early Access

Love the pricing model, excellent way to monetize PVE.

There's a pretty awesome indie card game that mixes elements of rogue-likes and deck building. It's called Slay the Spire

store.steampowered.com/app/646570/Slay_the_Spire/

It's surprising well polished for an Early Access game and delightfully addictive. It really nails the progression of character growth as you add more cards to your deck and earn more passive boosts as you go from encounter to encounter. The bosses are also pretty diverse challenges that prevent you from just defaulting to a particular strategy.
