@crunc :

I agree with you about the variety and fun of CotG+RotF but i think we have too many copies of the same cards when we play 1v1 .

Raising the total honor is a good idea, but what do you think of playing the game with only one copy of each construct for instance ?

(sry for the mistake)

[crunc]

Raven card is certainly the goofiest thing in the game, yes, but I don't mind it. Plus you can't just guess Apprentice. You have to take into account what cards are in your discard pile. If you've got a bunch of Apprentices in there it might not actually be the most likely card to draw. If you can hit it right a couple times in a game it's worth picking up. Plus you draw a card, so there's no harm in having it (other then initial cost).

@Ashraam - I don't think having only 1 of each construct would be an improvement, but I will say that I wish some of these iOS card/board games allowed for rules variants.

I would like to add that "digging the trash" is a very good counter move when your opponent tries to barring you from getting the cards you want, especially high-honour constructs.

I think power-deck is more a reality with The Fallen. I think it is the power-player's porn. You can build your own army of darkness. I know getting it does not mean a certain win but it is great fun.

Speaking of fun. The Arha Sensei is a very flexible card is more than a card refresher -- I think one can switch between getting rune or power depending on the make up of the Central Row.

I am not sure about the "balance" issue but with fate, the starting move can be different and the rest of the game is less predictable and there are more variations to adopt and adjust.

Just my $.02.

Another benefit brought by the expansion is now I get to know more players.

In my book: losing < 5 points is luck, 5-15 points is technical lost and beyond that, is humiliating....

I am still losing too much.

had a good run against Camzeee, but still pwnz by 4 marks in the end.. sigh... i'm old.

I did get lucky with the Raven, but not because it was a wild guess. I had only one card left in my deck so I dug through my discard pile and worked out what it was

Lots of active players now =) really enjoying the real time games guys! But going in cinema soon. There's a bit of delay here

Good games kitkeat. Winning a few there.

It's hard to beat experienced players regularly.

[crunc]

Real-time play is way more fun. So, yeah, I prefer that and really appreciate the addition of timers since it lets you find random folks who want to play the game real time... at least if they understand that 30 minutes is a chess clock, LOL. Of course it's even better with friends, except that for me most friend games end up asynch. Oh well.

Had an awesome game earlier against celeric where I killed a Samael early on. Ended up with about 5 monsters in my hand! Definitely an interesting concept. Played two monsters in one game and ended up with 11 attack!
