Deep civilization-building strategy in a fast-paced card game!

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. Perfectly balance your city’s culture, military, defense and economy to outwit your opponent and win!

"Age of Rivals feels like a breath of fresh air in an App Store drowning in more traditional collectible card games" - 148Apps.com - 5/5 stars

"...there's a depth here that other games of the same length can't emulate" - Pocket Gamer - Silver Award Winner

"Gameplay is fast, very fun, and requires both an overall strategy and turn-by-turn tactics to prevail." - Pocket Tactics

Age of Rivals was inspired by strategy boardgames and designed to be ideal for 1 or 2 players to play in 10 minutes with plenty of depth and replayability. It's the "anti-deckbuilding" CCG, where having only minimal control over your deck encourages endless variety in each game and puts the focus on in-the-moment tactical decision-making.

Does not save progress in a match

Really frustrating to not be able to complete a match that is all but finished (and then again in the next match). It can be enough to switch to another app for a few seconds, and when you return it’s all gone and you are asked to start a new game. Registering online doesn’t change anything in that regard. I would be fine with a manual option, but you don’t have that either. Otherwise a really interesting game that would have received a higher rating had it been possible to continue a match after a short break.

Polished, yet not...

At first appearance the game looks very polished, but it isn’t. First, it’s not made for the iPad aspect ratio, so you get ugly black borders and not a full screen experience. Second, basic things like highlighting your own player area and highlighting which card you can select is missing. When I first began to play, i tried to select cards in my opponents hand because both sides look identical. Also, you sometimes switch cards, but not always. The game never tells you when this happens (unless you look up the rules and memorize them).

Finally, this game used currency. For what end, I have no idea. I see no progression. You collect cards (I think), but you never construct decks (I think). Either way, I just want to play, so these coins you get are just in the way for me.

Too random, no deckbuilding

This game has interesting cards and good mechanics, but the there is no deck building or other strategic elements outside the matches. Everyone plays with the same cards, and each match your deck is drafted randomly. This ruins the experience for me, since it means you can’t make strategies in advance. You don’t even know what cards are in your deck until after the match.
