### 5/5 — Og

*2026-04-06, version 2.0.202*

So this game is definitely dying. But i still actaully find more active players on this than in cards and castles ultimate. And this game is just og and way better that cards and castles ultimate. Gameplay, art, vibes. Definitely worth playing but I wish this game was maide better instead of them making the ultimate version. And that the game wasn’t so dead in 2026. Not that you can’t get a game.there will just be like 1 full lobby at a time and matching is hard.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-09-19, version 2.0.196*

Game is currently broken, says match starts but won’t go into it please fix

### 1/5 — game is trash

*2025-08-28, version 2.0.196*

not worth downloading, only 10 losers online

### 5/5 — Easy uptake

*2025-07-26*

Game is extremely easy to enjoy after long work days due to the recipe system taking away huge time consuming chunks. Good Game. great design for your more standard person not looking to sweat to enjoy it.

### 5/5 — great game

*2025-07-26, version 2.0.180*

deserves mire recognition

### 1/5 — Game VS Community

*2025-07-12, version 2.0.180*

Player base is small so people recognize each other often. If it wasn’t for the blatant racism in chat with no way of reporting it then the game would be good. N words get dropped constantly in chat, I’ve taken screenshots in case the devs ever decide to actually do something about it.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2025-04-19, version 2.0.180*

Cards 2 is a creative mix of battle ccg and board game. The deck building menu is intuitive and smooth. Most importantly, it’s fun! Also, no ads! That’s always a huge plus.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2024-10-13, version 2.0.171*

This is one of the few games I can play without getting bored after a while. It’s fun and engaging, having different decks I can use each time is really nice. A fantastic game all round!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-09-29, version 2.0.171*

Cards that destroy cards and should ignore death effects are bugged against last will cards. Last will cards are still triggering when using things like soul destroy.

### 1/5 — Not new player friendly

*2024-09-25*

-The game pairs any 2 players who are available rather than by rank. When there are hardly any new players in the game, you will be paired with long-time players.

-You are given a grace period of playing bots for your first 20 or so games.

-The players have many legendary cards, and Legendary cards can win games nearly on their own.

-I have opened only a couple legendary cards in a month and a half, with very aggressive new player rewards.

-Right now it takes 44 booster packs to get enough crystals to make a legendary. I will have opened maybe 2 Legendaries in those 2 packs.

-In order to be competitive with decks in all aspects, I will need to spend hundreds of dollars, or continue to lose the majority of my games for at least 6 months

-The above de-incentivizes new players who just discovered this game form buying in. Micro transactions have no payoff, and large investments for digital cards is more than most players want to do. Dev needs to work harder on providing a fun path for new players to enjoy the game.
