Ya I share the same sentiment regarding the Tablet. It only comes in handy near the end-game. Nowadays I tends to skip it more frequently as I don't find the pay-off worthwhile.

I'm starting to think it's not worth it unless you've got significant power waiting in hand. In order for it to be worth it, you have to get at least 7 points from your additional turn. You bought the card for 5 points, you lose 2 innate value by banishing it, and then there's the turn you waste putting it in your construct deck.

It's also important to play it towards the end game considering you'll have better cards to make full use of it. It does come in handy in certain instances, and definitely better with a fully banished hand, but in more cases than not, especially if you're chasing a game, it could lose you the match.

I agree with this. I don't think the value is worth the cost. I usually grab something else instead.

Dukester just crushed me in a game. He ended up with 10-12 constructs, including most of the big ones.

Maybe it's different in a FTF setting, but playing asynch means I can't remember my own strategy, let alone what cards the other three guys have picked up. I know there's the log feature, but that's a bit tedious, to be frank.

Or maybe I'm just playing in too many games ...

Yeah, I agree. They just play out too slowly.

Another unrelated issue - I really hope the devs get multitasking and persistent server connection (maybe with an option for how long to maintain) in there in a future update. It's a bit annoying having to back out to the main menu, then sign in again every 10-60 minutes to take one turn.

I typically use it (when I get it) either as you said (at the end to make up some points) or to try to get a good card that I couldn't get in my normal turn.

Quick question, can someone please clear up why every once in a while I am not the first one to draw at the beginning of the game, then at the end my opponent takes the last honor point, yet I don't get the last turn? Why?

Not sure about the first part of the question, I assumed it was a coin flip to see who started

When the last honor point is taken the game ends at the end of the current round, 1 round equaling your turn / your opponent's turn(s). This is so everyone get's the same amount of turns.

If a round starts with you going first and your opponent takes the last honor point then the game ends. This is because the round has ended, giving you another turn means starting a new round which gives you an unfair advantage as that means you played more hands.

If a round starts with your opponent going first and they take the last honor point you get your last turn to catch up. However, if your opponent ended the game and didn't score enough honor to beat your current score the game ends immediately. This is because it makes no sense to force you into playing your last turn when you have already won.


Hope that helps

Haha this game was pretty enjoyable. I seldom play 3-way game, but I am starting to find it more fun than the 4-way ones which is just grab anything you can.

Does anyone else ever forget to activate the All Seeing Eye on some turns until the very end, when taking that extra card earlier in your turn would have helped get a very valuable card?

Also, with the All Seeing Eye, I don't understand why drawing the extra card isn't automatic? Is there a scenario where it would be a good move to decline using the All Seeing Eye?
