I lost hours to this roguelike card-based city builder even though I had no idea how all of those words could fit together

When I first heard about this card-based roguelike city builder, I was confused. Then I played a round. And another. And another. And another. And before I knew it far too much time had passed and I was absolutely hooked. That game is Toxic Frontier, and we just revealed it at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct.

Toxic Frontier plays on a hexagonal grid that makes it feel a bit like Settlers of Catan, only I'm not screaming at my housemates because they won't accept my very reasonable trade offers. You draw cards such as villages, forests, sheep, mountains, lakes, and more, and try to find the synergies while expanding into the titular toxic wasteland.
