Build decks in your card collection and play with your own creations. You are only permitted a maximum of 2 of each card in your deck. Find out how you can make your deck even better with new cards. 2. Each type of Gem (Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Spirit) has different advantages. Combine them with matching Turn Spells and Battle Spells for maximum points. 3. Balance: The relationship between Beast Cards and Spell Cards is crucial to your strategy. Experiment and find the right balance for your strategy. == STRATEGIES == 1. BLOCKING: Block your opponents from forming combinations by using the blank edges on your Beast Cards. This prevents your opponents from making high-scoring Beast Card connections. 2. MANA POOLS: Mana Pools can be unlocked when they are placed smartly. But be careful – your opponent can also unlock them! 3. OPPONENT’S HAND: Become a true Book of Beasts master by analysing and taking into account the opponent’s cards in your own turn. ## Key features - Collectible card game - Multiplayer online battles - Gem-connecting gameplay - Deck building - Summon mythical beasts - Cast spell cards ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Small Bag of Coins | $0.99 | one-time | | Medium Bag of Coins | $4.99 | one-time | | Big Bag of Coins | $9.99 | one-time | | All Cards Season 1 | $14.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (4 of 4) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/book-of-beasts-the-beast-ccg/id1461777914/reviews.md ### 4/5 — All the love! *2020-12-08, version 1.0.330* So all my love goes out to this game. It saddens me to rate it 4/5 stars since the game is so great. The concept is simple but engaging, it has enough strategy to be different each round, and has a cool collection system! I’d just like to see more general content in the future, more lore for each creature card, a larger player base so I don’t have to keep playing against AI, and above all else, a less confusing tutorial. It took me a bit to understand how the game worked as the tutorial was a bit confusing. In the future it might help to make a more immersive tutorial during the beginning fight to explain all the buttons and how to actually play. Overall I haven’t found a game quite like this ever and will be sticking around for future content updates. Can’t wait for more! **Developer response:** Dman, many thanks for your love letter. It's the sort of feedback that keeps our indie team behind Book of Beasts encouraged to continue work on the game ;) We have heard you! We are working on an onboarding experience built around the lore. In the meantime, please make sure to engage in the online discussions on Discord (link on homepage) and if you like, we would also love to hear from your detailed feedback and opinion at support@playbookofbeasts.com ❤ ### 4/5 — Fun and Easy to Learn *2020-11-30, version 1.0.330* It’s a great game that lets you easily learn the basics and jump right into the action. The only issue I have had so far with the game is finding games against other players. They do however have 4 different AI to play against! This is nice when you aren’t able to find a game and still want to play. I hope the player pop continues to grow!! **Developer response:** Many thanks for your feedback. We're a small indie team and want to let the player community grow organically. However, you're invited to join the official Discord channel to find players in your timezone / "playtime zone". ### 4/5 — First thoughts *2020-11-23, version 1.0.330* So my first thoughts on the game is it’s pretty fun actually. Not very complicated which I like. It’s just a nice casual game. Now I don’t know if this becomes a p2w game since I’m very new to it, but as of now it’s ok. it’s kind of hard to find a real player to play against since I’m guessing the player base is low at the moment. But hopefully people will start downloading it so it can be nice easy connections. **Developer response:** Thanks for the praise. We appreciate your feedback regarding the mechanics. Our goal is to have a great game for players that is fun enough that we get the necessary support from the player community. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! Wish There Were More Players *2020-11-23, version 1.0.330* I love the gameplay of this game- it’s very puzzley and I love the quick planning and thinking required for it. My only complaint is that there are very few players to battle with online. Hopefully more folks will download and join me! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review and great that you like the game core mechanics! We're a small indie studio, so we have to be a little patience with the user growth ;) In the meanwhile, please enjoy playing against AI players and try to use the official Discord channel to find friends in your timezone / "playtime zone" ## Frequently asked questions about Book of Beasts ### What is Book of Beasts?
