Could you do a CCG with only one card in your hand? That might be a bit much on the content front, so how about traditional card games? Poker with one card? The idea isn&#8217;t fully baked, but I like the idea of using poker cards.

I&#8217;m thinking some sort of faux-roguelike or dungeon battling game that users poker cards for attack and defense.
