U.S. I saw it while browsing strategy games.

Yes, definitely still up for it!

Anybody else?

Weird, not coming up for me under it’s name or dev… will have to check again

I had to actually click a link in an email. Couldn’t find it by search.

The Skyweavers crew just invited me to the beta … anyone have any experience with it?

I like having one ā€œactiveā€ card game. I’m retired from Elder Scrolls: Legends (no longer supported) and I’m currently just meme-ing with Hearthstone, which I consider to be one of the 10 worst-designed games ever.

I don’t mind supporting developers with at least a $10 purchase, but my time is not infinite. Any thoughts?

Sure, why not?

I can see the issue with the worker die. Fortunately, there is one 3 and one 5, so most turns have four actions. However, it can suck when you don’t get to choose the ally (additional action) favor in the game.

I’ve only played 3 settlements so far (multiple times), I think the different buildings can have a real impact on your ability to score. Though, there have been several games where I didn’t think I was doing well and ended up with a new high score.

I know two favorites are Card Crawl and Card Thief. I’ve wanted to like the progression in those games, but I just don’t. I cannot seem to improve my score and it feels like I’m doing the same thing over again without unlocking new content. I probably just suck at those games. So far I’m liking this more because I think I’m playing reasonably well and as long as I’m playing I’ll make progress towards unlocking everything.

I think I have finally come around to your POV on this. I stuck with HS for a long time, but about 3 months ago maybe, I just got fed up and uninstalled the thing. If it were just badly designed and too luck dependent (both of which it is), I could maybe have forgiven it, but one day it became clear to me that it was intentionally badly designed. They weren’t merely clumsy or incompetent, they are very, very competent and making a choice to frustrate players. Which I think for a lot of people pushes a button in their brain for Try Again. That’s not gaming anymore, that’s psychological triggering.

The sad thing is that they had a deep IP that they could have done better with. I think Riot is doing a far better job with Runeterra is translating an IP into a card game.

Maracaibo is coming to ios and android in Q4. I hope it turns out good, but it’s a new developer. Their only game so far is in open beta, and borrows heavily from Letterpress.

Agreed.

I see both, sometimes. There’s times I think they were just dumb, then there’s other times — like with how hyper-overtuned both Hunter and Paladin are — and I think, ā€œthis is totally on purpose.ā€

Hoping people doesn’t mind, I took the liberty to grab all Sagrada nicknames from the tournament and added you as a friend.
If you fancy it, accept my friendship and let’s play!!! Just be gentle, I’m still learning :wink:
