Saving or destroying the world
I’m always interested in card games that stretch beyond pure combat and are used to convey narrative. That’s whatForetalesdoes. It’s a card game filled with anthropomorphic animals in medieval garb in which you can sneak and barter before or instead of scrapping. Find the trailer below.

I love Foretales' art most of all. There has been a slew of strategy games over the past couple of years featuring anthro animals, but Foretales' looks lush in so many ways. I like the different shadows playing across the table your cards sit upon, and the way cards and spell effects animate. It’s very clean.
Beyond that, I don’t know much more about it. There are other guesses you can make based on the trailer above about how it’ll play, but I’m not confident enough to write any of them down. I’m not even 100% sure what kind of bird the main character is, although since they’re a thief I will speculate that they’re a seagull.
In any case, there’s not long to wait before we can play Foretales, since it’s aiming for release this summer.
