About Virtual Post Gaming
What Virtual Post Gaming Covers
Virtual Post Gaming is an independent website about games you think your way through. We cover puzzle games, from Tetris and its many descendants to first-person logic puzzles like Portal and The Witness and rule-bending designs like Baba Is You. We explain digital card games such as Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering Arena and Marvel Snap, deckbuilders like Slay the Spire, Monster Train and Balatro, and digital adaptations of board and tabletop games, from Wingspan and Ticket to Ride to Board Game Arena and Tabletop Simulator.
We write evergreen explainers, beginner guides, strategy fundamentals and histories that are meant to stay useful long after a patch or a season. When something depends on a specific version, format rotation or date, we say so. We do not cover real-money gaming of any kind, and we do not encourage spending on card packs or in-game currencies.
