Still learning... mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #4 mzinn, Jan 5, 2017 Thanks. Think I'll dive in too.

Gameplay is fine..... until it hangs. Sadly 2 games have hung on AI turn after about 10 or so turns. But the game looks promising, it's not hugely complex or tactical. But I don't understand it all fully yet (def until I can complete some games!) Edit** managed to complete my third game. It was quick and the AI fairly easily. Need to spend a bit more time checking the AI and cards more.. skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #7 skoptic, Jan 6, 2017 Last edited: Jan 7, 2017 It looks like the base game has 5 (?) card types which is not a huge amount. Three more cars on available via IAP for £0.79. I have bought but haven't played with them yet. okay here goes my mini game explanation Five cards are placed on the middle row of a 5 x 5 board grid. The goal is to get three cards off the table by moving them towards yourself. Each turn you can perform two actions from 4 available. The actions are - push a card one space away, pull one space towards, swap out for a new card from the deck, petition (perform action specified on card) You are only able to perform each action type once during your turn. Once a card is moved towards you so it moves off the table, it is considered to be in your 'party'. 1st to 3 cards in party wins Edit 2** - in custom mode you can select cards to include (if you have expansion). It also has an AI 'aggression' slider. As I had won my first few games, I ramped this up to full. I beat the AI first time, but I am not a strategic genius and usually lose to most AI ColeDaddy Silver Supporter<br>Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Mar 20, 2010 4,185 108 63 Male Sojourner Washington D.C. #8 ColeDaddy, Jan 7, 2017 Thanks man.
