Line 11:
* ''[[Battle Forge]]''
* ''[[Culdcept]]'', combined with a board game
* ''[[Duel Masters]]'', the exact number of video games being difficult to count since licensing difficulties meant the western games were '''completely different''' (and much worse) than the Japanese games.
* ''[[Duel Masters]]'', three for Gameboy Advance, one for Playstation 2.
* ''[[Elements]]''
* ''The Eye of Judgment'' uses actual physical cards which are scanned with a video camera. Its [[PSP]] spinoff, ''The Eye of Judgment Legends'', (obviously) doesn't.
Line 22:
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' adaptations, the best of which is probably Micropose's one, set on Shandalar and tying up some lose ends from the storyline.
** ''Magic Online'' is a direct simulation of the tabletop game, to the end that the client is actually free, and you have to buy digital cards through the game just as you would buy physical cards to play normally. Furthermore, if you complete a set of digital cards, you can exchange them with [[Wizards of the Coast|Wizards]] for a physical copy of that set.
** ''Duels of the Planeswalkers'' (and the current version,followup ''Duels... 201220__'') iswere a more limited simulation; the full ruleset is supported, but the controls are simplified (for example, available lands are automatically tapped for mana when you cast a spell) and instead of building decks from scratch, you use one of several preconstructed decks, for which you can unlock additional cards to add to (in the original) or swap in (in ''201220__'').
* The ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' series is basically one of these, except the cards are "chips".
** Played straight with ''[[Mega Man Star Force]]'', where Battle Chips are now Battle Cards

== Games with Card Battle elements ==
 
* [[EA Sports]]' ''FIFA'' and ''Madden NFL'' series have a mode called ''Ultimate Team,'' in which players manage a team using virtual trading cards. [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]] is so prominent that it was prompted some countries to ban certain types of [[Microtransactions]] entirely.
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Original Generation Gaiden'' has as bonus mode that tries to distill the classic [[Turn-Based Strategy]] formula into Card Battle Game. It doesn't work all that well, since it requires cards with amounts of text that would be impossible in real life and rolling huge numbers of dice to determine damage, but it's still a good [[Guilty Pleasure]].
* ''[[Xenosaga]]'' had a complete card game called "Xeno Card" as a minigame. Unlike other role playing game card games (such as [[Final Fantasy VIII|Triple Triad]] and [[Final Fantasy IX|Tetra Master]]), Xeno Card was a complete Card Battle Game, complete with boosters, rarity, card types, stack rules, phases, and such.
