Anyone playing? I’d love to have a few more friends. Username is fluiddruid if you care to send me a friend request.

For those of you not playing but who might be interested, it’s less like a Magic-style CCG and more of a casual game. You collect cards of various creatures, and create a ‘deck’ of 10 of them to battle with. You can level them up via sacrificing other cards to them (especially cards of the same elemental type), or find better cards via hunting. It’s like a lot of free games in that there are social elements and you can buy shit, but fortunately the game also dishes out a lot of the bonuses for free via play.

If anyone is interested in giving it a go, my invite code is TI15649 (you get a bonus rare card for using it, full disclosure I can get bonuses if people use the code too).

If you do join, be sure to battle your friends whenever you play (up to once a day) as you get bonuses even if you lose. Also, even if you don’t play a lot, the Coliseum is worth it to use when you get tickets from missions – it seems like only playing a few times even puts you at C rank or higher, which gives you access to special hunting tickets to hunt only rare or higher cards.

FYI: it’s also available for Android. [Here’s the official site](http://na.square-enix.com/guardiancross).

Correction: the website says it’s for Android, but that version’s not out yet.
