There are many paths to victory in this competitive strategy boardgame featuring hundreds of cards ranging from great pyramids and war elephants to sneaky spies and crafty merchants.

Reluctant, but happy

I choose my purchases carefully and enjoy board/card games very much. After playing this for several hours I am happy to say it was a good purchase.It takes a little while to see how all the cards can work together but after playing the computer a few times you get the hang of it.Very well thought strategy choices a long with absence of ‘direction’ by choosing a character make this a good choice for those looking to add to their card game fix. I’m a big fan of star realms so a quick strategy fix is right up my ally.

At first I liked the game, but the more I have played it the more I hate the randomness and the grind is really bad...Did you win against a hard computer and think you should earn a decent amount of gold towards a pack? You have a 70% to get 40g, 20% chance to get 60, and 10% chance to get enough to get a pack. The grind is real with this game.Have an ability that triggers when you play a card? If the computer plays one that triggers on play, theirs trigger first, and if that ability kills your card... then your ability never triggers because screw you. Yet another stupid rule.Does the computer need 1 card to screw up everything you are doing on their last draft? 9 times out of ten they manage to get exactly what they need.Round 2 & 3 are garbage because it’s random which of the 8 cards you get, this is the dumbest game mechanic ever... hey lets play D&D, you roll 8 die then at random the game will decide which dice count... stupid.Round 4 is frustrating, because there is animation to put each card out then animation to tame each card away... it’s like watching a terrible PowerPoint presentation that is over animated.

Hi, I'm sorry you're not liking the game, but I did want to clarify some points. First, the grind is finite because there are only a fixed number of packs to collect and then you'll have all the content. It's not like most CCGs where you need infinite packs because you keep getting duplicate cards you already have. In this game, you always progress towards finishing and it only takes about 80 packs. Second, the computer does not have an unfair advantage. Cards always trigger in the order they were played, so earlier cards trigger first. If there's a tie, then it's a coin toss. And there is no manipulation of the draft. If it seems like the computer always gets the card they need, I believe that's our human nature to notice bad luck more often than good luck. You can read more about the how the AI is fair on the blog at www.darkinertia.com. Thanks!

What a treat it was to discover this gem of a game. (Thanks TouchArcade!) I have lost 75% more games than I have won but let me tell you, when you pull off a win (rare in my experience) it feels great! I have already unlocked all the cards but boy howdy was it a challenge! My only gripe (purely cosmetic) is that I was not blown away by the artwork, it’s good but I wish each card had a unique design. Regardless though, the gameplay, design and FUN factor makes this game a MUST HAVE for CCG strategy game enthusiast. Kudos to the Dev for creating such a fun and affordable game. More please!!!!

I highly recommend this game to anyone considering it among the seemingly endless alternatives on the App Store. The truth is, however, that I have not come across anything else like this game. The multiplayer is fast and really well integrated. The UI and graphics work great together and facilitate allows the player to zone in and just play. No pay to win mechanics and a limited pool of improvements which is very quick to max out so the focus is all on the core gameplay which is really enjoyable and deep enough to keep your interest.
