✦ AI summary

HEX: Shards of Fate was a unique digital card game praised for its trading system, valuable card collections, and engaging campaign mode that set it apart from competitors, but the game has since shut down and is no longer playable. Players express nostalgia and disappointment that despite its innovative features, HEX ultimately failed to survive in the competitive card game market.

I miss this game. It was a unique digital card game, where you could actually trade and not just collect cards. Your collection had actual value. It had great vibe, a cool campaign mode. It had done a lot of cool things that no other card game had. Sadly it failed to survive.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
