“A fun concept ruined by game balance. Most features of the gameplay will not be available to you, as most games end in 3 turns, 5 if you're lucky. Leaving most games feel like you've done nothing but waste your time. You have.”

“This game can be fun BUT the over powered cards make this game unplayable at times. Game can almost be pay to play to get better cards which is a joke. FIX THE LEVELING ISSUES WITH THIS GAME AND STOP HAVING BETTER CARDS THAT YOU PAY FOR…”
