A D&D-wannabe game that gives you 2 ways of winning: abusing the stupid AI and praying that the malfunctioning dice rolls will forget to screw you over when you need a high roll to survive. Sadly, I'm an atheist, and the game smote me with a 1/663k outer to beat me. Save yourselves the frustration and just play Tetris instead, at least you'll get some bars.

About This Game
Build your party and set forth on a grand adventure in the massive single-player campaign. Each adventure will challenge your deck-building skills and tactical prowess as you battle horrifying Black Oozes, savage War Monkeys and more.
Amass a collection of fantastical swords, shields and other adventuring gear. In Card Hunter's unique deck building system, equipping your party with these items builds your deck for you.
Enter the fray on a grid based battlefield. Prepare for turn-based strategy where you must play your cards right to defeat your foes and be rewarded with experience and loot.
When you’re ready, challenge other players in casual games, ranked matches or regularly scheduled leagues. Can you rise to the top of this month’s season? Can you and your undead minions triumph in the Graveyard Gambol league? Multiplayer Card Hunter is a never-ending challenge.
Don't want to face the monsters alone? Adventure co-operatively with one or two friends and share the dangers of Cardhuntria as well as the rewards.
When you're done with the huge core campaign, try out the adventures of Omin, Binwin and Jim from Acquisitions Incorporated with an exclusive story written by Penny Arcade's Jerry Holkins. Then get ready for when robots and insane computers invade in the all new Expedition to the Sky Citadel set. Or, if you prefer your monsters from the murky mists of time, brave the challenge of prehistoric monsters and intelligent weapons in the fiendish Attack of the Artifacts.

Pros: I was transported back in time 30 years, the flavor and feel of PnP RPG gaming is perfect. The metagame story is fun and interesting. Felt like the 1980s... Cons: The micropayment cash grab is gross. You can play free for @30hrs, then you need to start buying access. Also: this game is a _very cheap_ strat game, with minimalist card building elements. If you want to feel the nostalgia - play for free. Any other reason should be a pass. I give it a thumbs up BARELY and only for the story and feels. The game is a grind - barely entertaining.
The game is fine but not without flaws. It's hard to get into, as you don't earn much money through adventuring. Many adventures are behind a paywall. The visuals are unique and very transparent. The gameplay is interesting but may become boring quickly. I can recommend playing it for a bit, but not as a long term time investment.
Locks up my computer every time it starts (Steam and web version). I mean frozen, nothing works, I have to hard reset my comp. Absolutely ZERO HELP from the devs on this issue. Sent 2 support emails a few weeks ago, never heard back.
Its okay, not worth putting money into.
Better than Heartstone
Amazing game and it's so freaking addictive!
Pizza!
Guys, to be quite honest, I don't know what to tell you about this game. I'll just give it next 5k hours and see if it helps.
I enjoyed the game. Lots of choices. It is free to play and you don't have to spend $ to beat the game. The pvp on the higher levels would require to have better cards, but it's farmable if you are willing to put the time in.
