• Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS.GO)

You can create a friends list and engage in some in-game trading and gift-giving. And since news of the COVID-19 outbreak, the game’s manufacturers have made some adjustments that allow you to find more monsters closer to home and features that make the game more consumable in “individual settings.”

• Spaceplan

In fact, you spend most of your time fixing a ship using an interface called the “Thing Maker,” which, as the name suggests, lets you build things to repair your ship and navigate through space. Once you get a few “things” up and running, the core game mechanic works on its own.
The game allows you to use manual clicks and the passage of time to create and launch potato-based devices and probes from your nondescript satellite orbiting a mysterious planet.
Unlock the mysteries of the galaxy or just kill some time in what the astrophysics community is calling the ‘best narrative sci-fi clicker game of all times’.

Meanwhile the other cards in the deck can be used to, mitigate, or avoid the exploding kittens.
