It’s a digital Card game like Hearthstone set in the Elder Scrolls world. I read an article today that compared it to Magic which I also play and I decided to give it a try. The tutorial/First Act is really good and eases you into the game. I’m still learning the ropes so I plan to stick to the PvE for now but I like it. Anyone else play? ---

I’ve been wondering whether or not to start playing this for a little while. I’ve sunk a lot of free time into Faeria lately, and I definitely recommend it. One question: How “Free to play” Is it. Can you build a deck in a reasonable amount of time without paying? ---

One question: How “Free to play” Is it. Can you build a deck in a reasonable amount of time without paying? I’m not an expert by any means but I have played for several hours so far and haven’t spent any money. I would guess if you want to be competitive against people you will have to buy but so far the stuff I earn by playing through the story is getting me through the story. ---

While I didn’t really enjoy Witcher 3, I enjoyed it’s ‘Gwent’ card-game rather a lot. ES Legends seems almost as enjoyable (tried it on the PC) but I think would better suit being a mobile game, so I’m waiting for the Android version. ---

ES Legends seems almost as enjoyable (tried it on the PC) but I think would better suit being a mobile game, so I’m waiting for the Android version. I enjoyed Witcher 3 immensly, and I also got into the Gwent game. The developers are now releasing a standalone Gwent game for PC and PS4/Xbox. Apparently they won’t be releasing it for mobile platforms, which I think is odd. It would have been brilliant to be able to play Gwent on the iPad. ---

I forgot about Legends. I got a beta invitation a long while ago, but never checked it out. ---

I checked it out. And got into it and played a bunch of games this weekend. It’s fun, but I am an idiot, three times now I have thrown games away that I had an easy win sitting in front of me by forgetting about prophecy.
