Here’s a list of the best online collectible card games that allows you to play against the AI and requires no registration:

Necronomicon

A free online card battle game with gameplay mechanics similar to Magic: The Gathering, Necronomicon is based on the Cthulhu mythos. This lovecraftian theme makes the game more interesting and engaging. The objective is to reduce your opponent’s life to 0, but the highlight of the game is its sanity total. You and your opponent’s lose sanity while playing most cards and if you keep the sanity level of your opponent lowest, your opponent will go “insane” and this could really help you win the game more easily.

In Necronomicon, you will have to draw one card from five random cards and click on a mysterious book in the middle to play the card. You will then have to wait for your opponent’s turn to play his cards. The harder the difficulty level, the more challenging is the opponent, who will leave no stone unturned to reduce your sanity level and your life. There are additional bonus cards to be unlocked and different surprise effects once the sanity level reaches below zero, adding more strategy and intensity to the game. The card artwork is not as good as Magic: The Gathering, but the background does have a dark theme. Overall, Necronomicon is an excellent card battle game with a great theme and gameplay.
