A free-to-play game that I discovered from watching a Youtube Ad, got me curious and tried it. Oh! wow, these ads never caught my attention till this game popped out of nowhere.

First of all, The cards are beautiful. They are based on real-life artwork, sculpture, photos, and images of anything that has been known to mankind. The cards come on different animals, structures, historical figures, events, inventions, and even the heavenly bodies in space with facts and trivia at the back of every card (when you tap on it) to feed your inner geek. 

Cards have marks on the upper right corner to determine their rarity. Common = No distinct mark

Rare = Bronze 

Epic =Silver 

Legendary = Gold 

Mythical = Bit like a faded reddish-gold.

You can create a deck consisting of 18 cards. Like all TCG's there like Hearthstone, Yugi-oh, and MTG, it's up to you how you can make them synergize to make combos to win duels. The difference is, you're like in a game of "Tug of war" (the highest power wins the turn) where you have to win 3 out of 5 rounds with 3 turns each round.

The game mechanic is easy to learn plus you can enjoy playing it as much as you want (means no energy upon playing) and without spending. Every day, the game has daily objectives. Once accomplished, they will reward you resources, such as in-game currencies to buy booster packs and themes. Also, you can trade your cards online on their trading post. If you really want a card, you can post a card and wait for someone to give you an offer. Or, if someone had posted a card and you really want that card, you can make an offer and wait if he approves. You can also craft and fuse cards to create more powerful rare cards to add to your collection or deck.

On the negative side, I guess there are only a few players here in our area. I noticed that whenever you are to play a duel, there are chances (75%, only to my assumption) that you'll encounter a bot as an opponent (notice that they have the same ign either casual or league games). If you're unfortunate enough, you'll have quite a long wait. (I always restart my app and try again). Sometimes, other players invite you to a duel, so my advice is never to miss that out or rather beat a bot.

The mechanics of the cards are only limited and plays around on the terms "When played", "When drawn", "Energy" and "Power", 'Increase" and "Decrease". Sometimes there are cards that are named "Hold" to restrict your opponent from playing a card. I wish there are some unique elements like, steal your enemy card for a turn (Hearthstone???) or changing the arena to your advantage, or just flipping a coin (Pokemon TCG???). There are no life points here. Your life points are the rounds and you have to save them by winning. Your game very much depends on your card and on how it performs during the game. But then, these things make the game unique to other TCG games. 

There are in-game ads to watch but not that much... Tolerable ads! then they will give you booster packs and in-game currencies. Come on guys, give them some slack. These are the kind of games that deserves to be monetized.

Overall, this is a good game to pass time and at the same time learn new things that are unknown to you. I, a nerd, had real fun reading all those trivia and thinking who would win between Albert Einstein and a T-Rex.
