Each turn, they draw some cards from their deck and play them, which may have various gameplay effects, and may buy more cards from a central market, thereby building their deck. In most deck-building games, each player starts with a small deck of cards of low value. However, unlike CCGs, the cards are not sold in randomized packs, and the majority of the deck is built during the game, instead of before the game. Deck-building games are similar to collectible card games (CCGs) in that each player has their own deck.
