Looking for Non-Gacha Collecting Games

-

I’m on the hunt for a collecting game that isn’t a gacha game, something similar to Star Wars Card Trader. I want to open packs, collect cards of various rarities, and trade duplicates for ones I need, but without the heavy pay-to-win aspect. Ideally, I’m looking for a game where I can complete 100% of the collection for free, even if it takes some time. Any recommendations?

Marvel Snap is pretty great too! You can collect all the free cards in about three months, and it regularly updates, which keeps things fresh. There’s some gacha elements later on, but you can still get a good chunk of the collection without spending!

Final Fantasy VIII’s Triple Triad is a classic card game you might enjoy. It’s got a solid collecting aspect without the heavy monetization, plus tons of fun!

I’ve heard Cards Universe Everything can be played fully F2P. It has a variety of cards and mechanics similar to what you’re looking for. Might be worth checking out!

You might want to try Minesweeper Collector. It’s not card-based, but it includes Minaweeper mechanics where you unlock pets as you play. It’s got a great sense of progression and completion!

I play that one too! It’s super fun and a nice twist on classic mechanics.

If you’re into Pokémon, Pokémon TCG Pocket is a good choice. I’ve completed several decks without spending any money. Totally F2P friendly!
