The cards were nice, the abilities easy to understand and learn, there was a custom game option which I really liked, and even a turn log recording all of the cards played!\n\nOn the curtom option you can set the number of humans to a very high number, making the game impossible. Maybe you could make it so the deck size is relative to the number of turns estimated, just to make it possible.\n\nOther than that, I can't find anything wrong.

While the \"How to play\" screen certainly explained the rules, it is probably not very appropriate for such a complex set of rules \u2013 in this type of rules, a (skippable) \"walk the player through the first couple of turns\" type of tutorial is much more effective. The interface was simple and usable, maybe the indicators (turns left, swarm size, power, power usage) could have been more obvious on the screen. It was also not entirely obvious what the two cards in the top right were \u2013 I assume they were the last card played and the rest of the deck? It would be nice if you had custom graphics for most of the cards. I can imagine a stylised deck with e.g. power cards (mostly hearts suit if I recall?) with an obvious energy-like symbol on them, swarm cards with a symbol of a bot, etc. As it was, even if there was a correspondence between suits \/ numbers and functions, I could only tell what a card did by looking at the tooltip. While it is nice that the game is essentially playable with a regular deck of cards, its game presentation doesn't have to follow the same format. I would also be interested in how this could be modified to be a 2-player duel game.
