    Maybe even spawning its own category beyond what we currently know as mobile games.

    You mean card games?

      No, I was referring more to the interactions being so fitting for mobile. In Magic you had phases where you can play instants like counter spells. Hearthstone simplified that to a card you play that just plays itself automatically when the time is right. I think that type of thinking works really well for mobile.

      It also feels like high quality studio games like Mario Kart haven't hit the mobile gaming scene yet.
