My wife brought home the base version of this card game.
We played through it a couple times and I formed a few opinions. It certainly seems it would be much better suited for 4-6 players instead of just 2. There are several reasons for this but I'm supposing most people haven't played the game so I'll stay silent on that until I hear otherwise.
Balance is kind of hokey for a hokey game. It's mostly about draw luck although some strategy comes into play. The base game definitely needs the expansions which there are plenty. The biggest problem we ran into was that the numbers of characters seemed too limited. When one or both players has zero characters more than once every game there is something amiss. More props seem acceptable although the balance may be such that defense strength becomes too high although many of the SFX cards ignore these stats entirely.
Just curious if anyone else had played the game and their thoughts...
