So I bought this a while back, had one go and then left it. Had another blast last weekend and been playing it daily ever since. Great game. I’ve really just been doing the dailies though, am I missing owt by not doing the normal game?

Yes, play the main game. Daily challenge is internet fodder but the main game is beautifully judged. The balance of the core cards is a wonder of modern game design. It's that good.

And by a couple of days I really mean weeks.

get used to it. 

Silent is a mofo on ac9 for me right now.

Got a final boss to half health with a monster shiv deck, probably would have knocked it off if i could have survived one more turn. between buffs and debuffs I had 5+ shivs doing 21 damage a pop each turn.

It's great to be back on this. What a game.

Wow that’s fight and a half. Hate TK at the best of times but going in on less than half health sounds like suicide. Well done.

Tempted to grab this on PS4 later, but I'll be well pissed off it it comes to Switch soon after.

No really, it's that good. Then when it comes out on Switch you've a portable version, but start playing it immeadiately.

I'm playing too much again so has a quick look and there's certainly plenty of them. Initial impressions were positive, although let's face it they're never going to be as good as Ironclad or Silent. Some have a quite simple deck and I suspect these are going to be the best, although it's hard to tell until I've put 30 hrs in or so.

Edit: Slimebound seemed very promising.

Yeah, it's hard because you tend to learn stuff and think you're going to nail it next time, or maybe the time after that, or definitely if you have one more or go.

How much is it?

£20, so probably £80 on Switch. I'm not spending £100 on it.

Honestly just buy it now. You'll be mildly entertained until about 20hrs in, like Boris says, starting again and getting maybe a little further. Then you'll start noticing things, like how that card did pretty good paired with that other card, and then you'll start paying attention, and then one day you'll just be addicted like that. It'll probably happen one evening, that turns past midnight, and then two, and then you remember it's different now - you've got kids, and play it until 5 in the morning anyway.

My boy is 8 and is obsessed and even his Mum approves of this one, kinda. It's a great game for young minds. Planning, maths, patterns. It's easily the best game of this/last year. A steal at £20.

I play on laptop solely and it’s perfect.

@ Pea

Well maybe. It's hard to imagine not dragging and dropping with a mouse, but only because it's the only way I've ever done it. You'll be playing it with Elliot on the big screen anywway, discussing tactics and which cards to pick/play. I love our sessions in front of the PC monitor. It's great when they start to understand it and you'll be proud when they tell you why you're wrong and suggest a better tactic.
