Infinity Wars could well be the best digital card game to date

Preview by Matt S. 

There's no shortage of digital collectible card games (CCGs). From Magic: The Gathering and Might & Magic: Duel of Champions right through to little indie efforts like Orbs CCG, this is a genre that is remarkably good for game developers for two reasons; it keeps people playing for long periods of time and the free-to-play model works brilliantly for it.

"We do some developer vs. player tournaments here and there, and we often lose. It's heartbreaking because the worst thing is that we cheat; we give ourselves all the cards so we can come up with the most outrageous strategies, and we're still losing," he joked.
