A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I agree there's more meaningful permutations for replay in Monster Train, and that is indeed excellent. I just feel like there's more randomness vs skill/strategy at play in Monster Train than Slay the Spire. Or again, maybe I'm just not as good at Monster Train? Either way, both games are very good and I'd highly recommend either to almost anyone.
Although I do wish both games gave us just a little bit more narrative/lore into which to couch their excellent gameplay.
Well MT2 did go into a bit more narration, on top of doubling the clans & leaders :)
I haven't picked up MT2 yet, but it's on my wishlist for when I finish some of my current games :)
It basically makes MT1 obsolete by including all the old clans, and improving on basically everything.
