Game only plays in 8 cards, so your success is decided with 8 decisions (basically). Select the best combo of cards to score you the most amount of points.
The most interesting factor is that there are 2 overall extreme methods to follow:
1) Start small and play ascending cards (netting you lots of bonus cards), but miss out on resources needed to score big cards.
2) Starting with big cards and work downward, which sets you up with all the resources needed to score the big cards, but never access any bonus cards.
Often times you will find yourself playing the middle ground of the two: ascending and descending to the last card. This is where the game is most interesting.
The catch is that you're always choosing 1 card from 3 each turn, and that means 2 things:
1) You don't have all the choices in the world for analysis paralysis to be a major problem.
2) This game is quite luck-driven. You are quite dependent on certain cards to arrive at certain times, and the cards you need for early-game, mid-game and late-game don't come to you, then there's not much you can do turn things around.
Artwork is colourful and symbology is easy to read. It's language independent, but it's still a filler game at best.
This is a great game, i really enjoy the backwards scoring. It makes you really think on what to play and if you will get the chance to score that card.

Lands of Galzyr's cards are slightly different sized compared to standard poker sleeves. These sleeves fit snugly and are quite good quality. Galzyr's cards are quite sturdy and you don't really shuffle the cards, so you don't strictly need these sleeves, but if you're the type who likes to sleeve their cards or who is worried about them getting damaged, these are perfect for the job.
Great starter for anyone looking into magic
