DOWNLOAD RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY WORTH $5
Fun game but the 5 dollars isn't the final price.
This pricing model feels deliberately misleading because the initial $5 price suggests that the game is relatively inexpensive, while a significant portion of the experience remains locked behind additional purchases. I own multiple versions of the physical card game and genuinely enjoy it, so I would not object to paying a reasonable price for a quality digital version. However, the way this version is priced makes the total cost less clear than it should be.
If the developers believed the complete app was worth $15, they could have sold it for $15 upfront. Alternatively, they could have made the base app free and charged separately for additional packs. Either approach would have been more transparent than charging $5 to access the game and then requiring another $10 for much of the full experience.
The game itself is fun, but its monetization seriously undermines it. For what is essentially a digital version of a card game, $15 for the complete gameplay experience before paying even more for cosmetics does not feel worthwhile. As someone who already supports the physical game, I find this pricing approach especially disappointing.
