Siberius that sounds great.....where is the catch?
I'm with Fandir here.
Sounds great. Is the interface okay? Are cards depicted? Do I need a doctorate to get it to work?
Anyway, I AM interested.
Hehe, I understand the concerns. Let me try and outline all the catches I can:
It will take about 5 or 10 minutes to install the game. Maybe another 20 mins to install the card images.
In order to fit all the cards inscreen they tend to be slightly to small to make out the text, but that is easily solvable by hovering the mouse over the card you want to read.
The game has a 'money' system to buy new cards. This is akin to monopoly money in that it is game money, not real money. Plus you don't have to buy cards. You can proxy, especially if you play amongst ourselves. If you play regulars they will expect you to use all bought cards. You win money each time you play so if you get really into it and feel lile taking on thrm, you can gradually buy the cards but it totally isn't essential.
That's all the catches I can think of off the top of my head. Except that it takes a minute to exit games. But that's really not too bad. Just imagine you are gathering and shuffling your deck
The game mechanics work really well. They have a way to make pretty much any obscur rule work up to and including the recent double sided flip cards.
I will post a couple of screenshots when I get home and as I said, will be happy to take anyone on here through the loading and playing process. After a couple of games you can get to grips real easy.
