Looking to play a digital card game (Runeterra on deck)

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

...Except it's still not a card game. Next.

I dunno, I think theres a reason Riot are grabbing Hearthstone streamers to pre-release hype TFT

The things that make poker fun are the same things that make autochess fun, which is why I think it scratches that itch; if the collection / deck building aspect is what you're looking for, its not comparable, but if frantically top-decking for that one card that completes your strat is, its worth a punt

What problems would this theoretical product run into? It would be playable fully digitally or in a kind of "AR mode" with the physical cards.

Got busy towards the tail end of last year so wasn't able to put in the time to continue playing. But now I have more free time so I trying out this Legends of Runterra from Riot.

Wow the production values are great. I'm running it on my potato laptop I use in bed and it runs like a dream. The game also has some simple touches that I really appreciate that kind of simplify the game in some ways. I'm sure really hardcore people hate stuff like that but for someone like me who isn't as hardcore, it makes it much easier for me to keep my mind on what's going on.

That being said, I have no idea how good or bad the money model is.

Isn't it just Animu Hearthstone but with League folks in it instead? That seemed to be the impression I was reading when the closed beta test started. Has that changed? Because I really hated the Hearthstone "oh I can jump over your blockers" system that had.

Runeterra has blocking.

Ive only played it a bit, but they've made some pretty smart choices I like

• its very 'back and forthy' - so first mover advantage is mostly negated. every time you play a card, the opponent can also play a card, even though it has a clear attack and defend phase
• it has hearthstones 'gain 1 mana per turn', but theres also a smaller temp mana pool that can hold up to 3 mana left over from previous turn, which is mostly for spells / instants
• almost all 'instants' are spells not characters (it might actualy be all, I haven't played enough to say that, but it looks like a design choice)
• you as a defender can choose which cards block what, or choose not to block at all if a units more useful on the field

its pretty fun. I've been having some success with an elise + lots of spiders deck, which plays like a hearthstone aggro hunter

Played for a bit now I can definitely say I like Runterra. I really enjoy the counterplay between people.

RISE FROM YO GRAVE.

Runeterra's mobile versions launched.

Yeah, that shit is legit. I'm enjoying it so far. It basically has a 6 creature limit (but patched now to where if you put in more, you choose the one to sacrifice) but the best part is that you have the ability to block creatures in combat. Something other card games (that aren't Gwent or Magic) fucking ignore because lol Hearthstone lol chasing.

So it's already miles ahead of most other card game bullshit.

I tried Cardfight Vanguard since that finally brought it's mobile port over to the US/English and it's good, but it's Yu-gi-oh! ish, so I'm not 100% on board with it. But it's apparently popular enough to have a niche fanbase in the US to where they print physical cards, so I might put a little more time into it. But I'm going to give Runeterra some time until I get a new phone to actually play Gwent on.

The VCs are at it again

At least Chris Clay is on it and no longer on Arena.

Been casually watching some Shadowverse, game looks kind of fun and more interesting than shitty Hearthstone, but also a bit complicated.

[thisismyusername]

It's just Animu Hearthstone, though. Depending on what you hate Hearthstone for, it will pretty much be the same/some differences.

[Tuckers Law]

Mostly I grew to hate how Hearthstone’s balance changes and new expansion meta play out every time.  It’s by far one of the most frustrating card games I’ve played and have been wanting a replacement since I stopped playing a couple years back.  I never had as much frustration with other card games, although to be fair I haven’t played all that many.
