Euueuuguuguguguhhhhhhhhhhh

This game was very fun and then I got fed up with it and now I can't look at it anymore. I don't regret it but the higher the difficulty the more CBT it becomes. Or maybe I'm just bad! Getting gold stakes is really hard and I didn't feel like looking up meta for this game Hours played is a rough estimate

Not as good as alternatives

It’s fun. It’s not the best out there. I’d much rather play something like slay the spire. It was nice for a bit though.

fun but repetitive

Great concept and well designed game, but the replayability does not feel very high. Once you beat a deck on gold stake once, other than maybe plasma, clearing antes on other decks just feels repetitive. Same with getting the full completion. The grind to get every gold sticker on every joker doesn't add a lot to the experience. Mods like multiplayer and pokemon mod or other creator's mods add a ton to this game. The variance and nuances between each deck and even each decision and play style becomes much more apparent in multiplayer. Overall it's a very easily accessible and well designed game
