The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Note: This pattern follows the distinction made in BoardGameGeek that Deck Building refers to constructions of decks during gameplay. See Pre-Customized Decks for constructions of decks before gameplay.

Examples

A Few Acres of Snow, Dominion, and Thunderstone are all games with Deck Building as a core mechanic. So is Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game but this show that Deck Building games can be co-operative. A Study in Emerald provides an team-based example even if players initially do not know which other players are on their team while Airborne Commander shows that Deck Building games can be solitaire games.

Anti-Examples

Magic: The Gathering and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Deck-Building Game have players build their decks before gameplay begins, so these games use the pattern Pre-Customized Decks rather than Deck Building.

Using the pattern

Bag Building can be an alternative to Deck Building if not the design possibilities of Cards (compared to Tokens) are need.
