2 AEON’S END

This boss battler of a deck building game offers up enticing challenges, especially to those who are willing to explore its depths. Players take the role of Breach Mages who charge up their attacks in portal slots, to fight off huge monsters. The real trick here is that there’s no shuffling of the deck, which means players must be mindful of the order in which they discard their cards. Beyond that, with a huge expanded (and legacy) universe to explore, there’s always another giant and weird boss to fight. An excellent cooperative outing for the genre.
