Collect cards and fascinating facts in Cards, Universe & Everything (CUE), the deck-building and battling game in which your hand can consist of (almost) anything you can think of. Play a manatee next to Leonidas of Sparta or have a hamburger take on a frog, and learn trivia about each entity as you go.

What we love: Like all good card games, CUE has core elements that are easy to pick up, but mastering the game will take some strategic thinking. Cards are organised into themed decks, such as History, Space and Life On Land, and can be tested in online battles, traded with other players for new favourites or fused together to become more powerful.

Quick tip: It’s not all about playing the card with the most power, though. Some cards have different effects – think extra power if you’re losing a round, energy boosts or bonuses when played together. Play smarter, not harder!

Meet the creator: Avid Games is a UK–based team of gamers, collectors, learners and traders. The team describes CUE as a long-term project, as the card collection is ever-growing. After all, everything in the universe is a lot to ensure is included in the game.
