Castle Crush: Clash Cards Game 12+

It's a great game, great concept, great characters.
The only thing is it feels like the game learns your hand and specifically places u against enemies with whatever your weakness is no matter how you change your hand, then holds the cards you need from being available when you most need them. You can go on a 10 game winning streak, then suddenly the strategy will not work anymore because the cards you minted just will never be available anymore when you need them and you'll start facing only opponents that have your weakness in their deck. Forcing you to change the cards in your deck then repast the cycle when the game has decided you can't win with that deck anymore. Extremely frustrating game. So frustrating that I'm considering just not plaything anymore. I was up to 4000 trophies, then suddenly one day could not win a match anymore. I dropped all the way to 3100 before winning again. And the exact thing happened to everyone in my clan. Something clearly changed that day. Makes me no longer want to play the regular game, only the side games. Too frustrating being that you have absolutely know control over the cards that you'll get dealt. You often already know when you're going to lose before the match really gets going by how they start you out. You can see it coming. This game went from fun to just making me sad...

This game is fun and complex. You can very slowly acquire more cards and strength. There is always someone who bought their way to the same level, but that is ok. After a while, around level nine, you just get stuck. Win some, loose some, thinking “yeah I am improving”. But I played this for a while and would look at the decks I lost to. One, two or three, 40,000 gold cards I don’t have. Would save gold, but it takes a really, really long time to reach 40,000 gold. So the best cards are for those who spend real money. Possibly obtainable if you play consistently for a year or more. There are daily gold limits, and wining does not reward much gold to begin with. So 40,000 is a huge amount of gold. The developers have done a really good job at creating an environment where you want to win and beat that other player. So good that some real $ here or a few more real $ there are going to get spent. Can not fault them for that, this is a business.
Maybe if you have been consistently playing since the launch.... Nearly a year with no money spent, looking at opponents decks, less games played but still dragon, dragon, dragon. Becomes frustrating, fun disappears and the relevancy goes out.

This was a game a downloaded to help me advance in a different app but then I got stuck playing this because it’s fun. That is until you have the biggest lose streak. I feel like your level doesn’t matter at all in the game, I had level 5’s beating me at a level 8 but at the same time, if I go against level 11’s I get murdered as well. It’s like the game gives you a good hand, starts you off with your low energy cards and gradually moves you into your heavy hitters, and then the next rounds have all your high energy cards at the beginning that you can’t play until the mana builds. Also, I’m almost certain that a couple of times, my opponent plays more than 6 cards each being 7 or more energy which considering the time it takes to load, would be impossible even with the card that lowers the mana cost by two. One last thing before I delete the game, I had one of the offers with the gems that if I spent like 600ish gems, I’d get a reward that replenishes the gems and gives me cards. Every 100 gems I spent was supposed to give me 200 extra gems towards the reward, so I spent 200 gems meaning I should’ve had another 400 tacked on to that, (these aren’t exact numbers but I did the math before doing the deal). Well, somehow I was still short 20-50 gems? Which means I lost practically all of them and didn’t get that chest with the big reward to refill my gems and get brand new cards. Safe yourself the heartache and rage and find a better game.
