Slay the Spire Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 10+

What is this game
Listen, it's like a regular card game, but you're alone, and you're fighting monsters to climb a tower. Every time you go up a floor, you encounter a different challenge – a monster, an event, or treasure. The goal of the game is to build a strong deck of cards and survive as long as possible. It sounds simple, but there's so much strategy in it... It took me a week to understand what on earth 'Arsenal' does, and I'm still not sure to this day.
