Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Strategy in which constructing, refining, and sequencing a deck of cards or equivalent actions is the central decision system.

Include when

Assign Deckbuilding Strategy when strategy in which constructing, refining, and sequencing a deck of cards or equivalent actions is the central decision system. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign Deckbuilding Strategy from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
