Ratings and reviews

Good game. Been playing on and off since it was new. Has a great free model, very fun even with limited cards, and there is a decent community playing. Watch the recent tournaments on YouTube to get a good feel for how it plays, this one is a lot slower than most cars games and has come from behind mechanics which helps you recover from a bad start. Could use better AI for those times when network isn't available, but overall it's fun.

Not only is the support staff shady in the event of an issue involving shadow crystals (real money), every time your app updates I have to reset my password. I'm writing it off now before I spend any more money. There are other games like this that are more reliable. Edit: This time your system is telling me my account doesn't exist... EDIT: been trying on and off since 2013, 10 Yrs later it let me log in. Last crystal purchase was never delivered, but it did save my cards, now crashes mid game.

Overall a very good trading card game. The fall backs that i have noticed are the mechanics of the end step. When you have nothing left to do you still have to hit end turn. I especially like that you can earn various items to build your deck without having to spend money. Update: not the same game. Much harder than before. Still an amusing waste of time
