Minion Master
Minion Master is an F2P game, a curious mix between card game and Tower Defense, designed for 1 Vs 1 or 2 Vs 2 fast games. Its financing model is based on expansions, new decks, bonuses and various additions. Developers also have a good habit of giving away these limited-time expansions when you launch them, so they open a window for a maximum number of players to have before they go on to become paid. It's as much something to reward worshipers as it is to give potential new players a boost to try out, while supplies last.
