The Vale of Eternity is quite popular. It is a card drafting and tableau building game. There are five different types of creatures, and each every creature has a different power. You draft two cards every round. You may discard it for coins, you may claim it into your hand, or you may play it into your play area by paying the cost. You may have only as many cards in play as the round number. If you have no more slots and want to play a card, you must first remove an existing card.
One challenge this game poses is coin management. You may have at most fours coins. Coins are in denominations of 1, 3, 6. When you pay for a card, no change is given. Sometimes it can be painful to overpay.
Card powers vary greatly. Some are single use, some can be activated every round. Some cards attack other players. Mostly you are managing your own combo of cards.
I didn’t find the game interesting. Nothing really new or unusual about it other than the coin management. Unfortunately I found that more annoying than fun.
