I'm curious but 90% of the cards just seem +/- 100-500 points. Is it that simplistic?

This looks very attractive, has anyone tried it yet/before?

I don't mind the silly art but would like to know how the actual game plays out.

I don't usually just by a game on a whim but this looked fun. It's kind of like the game Uno, give and take based on the cards you draw and play on either yourself or your opponents. The goal is to just get to 1000 points. Once all the cards have been played the winner is the one with the most points, I won a game with - 100. The booster cards are unlocked through play as well as more opponents or you can pay .99 to unlock booster cards. You can choose your opponents at the beginning of the game however you are always playing with 3 others, no way to just play with 1 or2 if you wanted. The controls are just tap and drag and drop onto yourself or your opponent and the game plays in portrait mode. It's also based on a physical card game. I'm having fun with this, I like it.

Thats good enough for me to spend 2€. Thanks for your effort.

If this had multiplayer I'd buy it

The designers of the card game insisted that we did not include multiplayer, because a deck of Sopio cards already provides the multiplayer experience they wanted. It's small, portable and played quickly with friends.

That's why we have offline play vs a number of AI opponent characters in the app. You can't do that with a deck of cards

Do the different AI opponents have their own strategies?
