It's a bit on the easy side, but that's not bad for showcasing the game! I think the mechanics are solid, but could have benefited from a larger variety of cards to really take advantage of them. As of now, there's a pretty easy to see tier list for the cards and not a lot of counterplay. The graphics were solid, and audio was passable, though could have used sound effects. Overall, I played a few rounds and enjoyed myself, so Mission Accomplished :)"},{"author_name":"HeyChinaski","author_uid":"11211","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 8:16pm","epoch":1429560660,"text":"Pretty fun.
