I've been playing this game since it launched and I enjoy it a lot. However lately the app has been very buggy. It takes several minutes to get into a game or have to close out the app completely and try again. I've also been disconnected from the server many times while in a game. I went from checking on the status of my games any chance I got to waiting until I got home because server connection issues didn't happen as much while I'm home.

I've had it now for a week, and am completely addicted to it. As a game, it is a nice mix of (mostly) star realms and ascension. It's probably personal, but for me it's the absolute best, as mercenaries and focus fill in parts I see as disadvantages of those games (the "I want the effect but not want it in my deck" and the "what do I do with my spare change?"). Perhaps I'm not as good at deck building, but to me the medium AI provides a nice 50/50 challenge, whereas the hard AI just beats me all but one time. To my own surprise, this game holds up pretty well with 3 and 4 players. It doesn't devolve into "all defense and level up". But make no mistake: that infinity shard isn't just a gimmick. It's tough to make it to level 30, but a valid strategy. That said...not only is this a (IMHO) absolutely great game, but it's made by the team that made the race for the galaxy app. And it shows: the interface is slick, responsive and intuitive (hint: use the 'large text' option! :-) ) and overall a joy to play. Yes, I also had two random crashes. But on nearly 50 games (and both being able to resume the game after restarting), I really can't complain. So: great game. Well worth it
