This game is playable but honestly disappointing. Too many turns play themselves, there's usually always one best way to play any given hand and it's not too difficult to figure out. Priced way too high

Bad game mechanics once you get past the Starter level. Couple that with the minimalist graphics makes this game easily skippable.
Fun twist on deck building/card and sports. I've really enjoyed playing it so far!

This Game is a good way to past time and keep your mind active at the same time good game play loop easy to get the hang of if you like strategy genre games The Difficulty increases so will you deck and card choices choose wise . Me as someone who loves Basketball and card games this was a good surprise, i would recommend this game if you enjoy a good solo Game. But @Bigasaur if you can make an update for online Multiplayer PvP to play against Friends and Family this Game would be Perfect in my eyes. I will buy the new game if you have to re-release it if you have into another edition of a series maybe.
Game will not launch anymore. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game numerous times, but the game will not launch. I am using a Chromebook (beta). So the file extension suggestion does not help me.
I've played a similar game called Slay the Spire for like 500 hours and this game is just nearly as fun and challenging. Great job and just wanted to let Bigosuar know that I have been playing slay the spire non stop and remember thinking "a basketball version of this would be great".....and then boom! Thank you guys for this great work of art!
Really fun little deckbuilder that is based on playing a full game of basketball. The gameplay overall is not as deep as other card games I’ve played but there is enough variety to keep your brain engaged, especially considering you must manage the clock at the same time as playing the game. Really enjoying my time with this
Even if you're not a basketball fan Cluchtime is just a good, simple deckbuilder. There are some balance issues, but on the whole I would say the cards are really well considered and implemented. Though as a basketball fan I do wish there were ways to more deliberately craft a specific style of play as most playthroughs eventually turn into "Who can stack the most 3s?" ...which, while not dissimilar from real life, doesn't help with replay value.
My surprise of the year. I love this game deeply.
