Why on Deck

Cobalt Core is a deckbuilder that actually uses space. Positioning your ship on a single axis to dodge missiles and line up shots sounds simple, but it creates a tactical puzzle that’s genuinely fresh. Runs fit neatly into 30–45 minutes, which makes it great for pick-up play. The pixel art is punchy at handheld resolution, and the time-loop narrative has real charm buried underneath all the card synergies.
