Lite fare. Fun if you expect that. Needs online improvements and local bluetooth play

This is a well done iOS card game, which isnt a shock since its coming from Playdek. As long as you realize that this game is pretty simple, you can have fun with it. But its not too simple. Theres plenty of variety in cards and combos you can make with them, and that makes the game itself quite fun to play.

Well, the app is mostly well done. This game really doesnt translate very well to asynch play. Drafting 2 cards and then waiting half a day to draft 2 more really isnt much fun. Plus theres some issues like if somebody battles the dog, I dont see any way to review how their match with the dog went. You just either see that they got points or not. This game desperately needs live play. Then the online will become fun. At the very least they need to add timers like they have in their version of Ascension, but really what Id more want is a live play option where each turn has a short timer, more like the live play in Carcassonne (but Id not want it limited to 2 players - this game is more fun with 3 or 4).

Lastly, I really hope they will add local bluetooth multiplayer, because this game is a chore to play pass and play, especially on an iPad (where it otherwise shines). Again, draft 2 cards and then pass the iPad. Repeat. It gets tiresome. If it had local bluetooth multiplayer that way would work really well.

So its a good start, but currently to me is more of a single player game then multiplayer. With the above improvements it could be come a mainstay.
