    This was a game I was anticipating since the developer first previewed it in these forums and the release is no disappointment. The presentation is simply fantastic and the game play is fun.

    The game play seems simple enough to understand but there seems to be a good amount of depth too. Right now, I have played a handful of games and won one. The challenge going forward is to figure out strategies to bump my high score. While it seems that luck plays a huge hand, hopefully there are tactics to overcome a bad draw. It will be fun figuring it out.

    Having put a fair bit of time into it this morning my only concern is whether it'll get a bit repetative given that the only reason to keep playing is to unlock new cards.....

    Having said that its a game I can see staying on my device for a long time even if it eventually only gets picked up every now and then.

    yes you can steal monster cards. There is one bug tho when you let the monster attack the player, the backpack is still occupied. We have submitted a fix for that already :).

    If you guys ever made a physical copy of this game I'd buy it instantly. I love the artwork and gameplay. And I am a HUGE boardgamer.

    So, just to avoid that bug, how am I supposed to deal with a monster in my pack?

    @Stevencarla damage a monster with a sword first

    @LordGek put it on a shield or leave it in your backpack.

    Does it remain occupied just until the next draw or it really clogs the pack the rest of the game? Can I use a sword on a pack monster?

    Where do cards discarded by some ability go? I mean are Vanished, Exchanged, and Sapped cards all put back on the bottom of the deck or does it vary?

    No you can only play it on a shield or the player, or leave it there which obviously brings other complications with it but is possible. Playing it on the player has the bug tho right now.

    Darn you're quick, not sure if you then saw my followup question edited as you answered my first part:

    Always to the bottom of the deck. So you are likely to encounter them in the end of the deck.

    We have some ideas for the first updated including some new cards. But it mainly depends on how the game will be received aka. how much we can earn from it. Our dev budget is pretty much exhausted ;). So telling a friend about it will help a lot.

    I would gladly pay for an expansion pack that added new main deck cards, perhaps monsters and equipment that could be swapped out? The player would have to maintain a specific ratio of monsters to equipment? Fun game, hope to see it grow! :)

    It starts out pretty fun, but gets repetitive really fast. There's so much luck involved and so little strategy to figure out once you have the basics down. There's many ways some minor bad luck can screw you long-term, but almost no ways to actually use any long-term strategy to mitigate it. After an hour I'm done forever until they expand it and add some kind of deeper strategy. I created my own disappointment by getting too excited about it.
