What players say

89% of 3,305 reviews are positive · 88% of 35 in the last 30 days

Players praise the unusual genre combination and the strategic depth that emerges as more systems unlock. The most common complaints are that random piece and card draws can outweigh planning, and that progression can dilute drafting pools and make later runs less focused.
