Fun and addictive gameplay that can be enjoyed in short sessions, making it perfect for quick breaks.
Simple mechanics that are easy to learn, yet provide a satisfying challenge, especially against AI opponents.
Visually appealing with a nice pixel art style, and the game has a unique concept that combines elements of civilization and card games.

The game suffers from excessive randomness (RNG), which can lead to frustrating experiences and a lack of strategic depth.
User interface issues, such as difficulty navigating menus and accessing information during gameplay, detract from the overall experience.
AI behavior can feel arbitrary, as it sometimes plays cards that lead to its own defeat, making the competition feel unfair.
