Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Behind that simplicity of gameplay is a cleverly designed, exquisitely well-balanced, damn fun little game.
30 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The Steam version provides the additional paid content/quests and is worth it for that reason and for smoother (or at least it seems) online player versus player matches.
15 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics could be improved, there are only 6 campaign missions.
8 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The core mechanic is a card drafting system, it reminds me of 7 Wonders, one of my favorite board games, but using the digital interface to implement some very cool extra mechanics.
