There was a time when there were a few games based on The Matrix movies, and they were even pretty good at times. Today, while video game adaptations are tougher to come by (although you can be Neo or Trinity in Fortnite), fans shouldn't sleep on a tabletop opportunity to delve into the Matrix, with Upper Deck's Legendary Encounters: The Matrix deckbuilding game, available on Amazon.

If you're a tabletop or deckbuilding game fan but unfamiliar with the Legendary series, you're missing out. They're a series of cooperative games you can play solo or with friends where you battle against the deck, and they're constructed really well to capture the feeling of venturing into the licensed worlds they're trying to portray. The first Legendary game was a Marvel superheroes deckbuilder and has a ton of expansions, but I have the first Legendary Encounters, where the franchise expanded into movies with the Alien franchise. While that one seems to be out of print, the game manages to replicate the specific feel of the original Alien franchise, but with cards, and not only is it a fun and well-designed game, it's genuinely pretty tense for a game you play with cards.
