So good! – Card Crawl Review

This game is so well done. The first few rounds, it seemed okay but nothing particularly special. Then I realized that there is much more to this game than at first meets the eye. I think it’s more similar to a five card draw than solitaire, in that it really is luck of the draw in many cases. A combination of luck and strategy makes it so much fun to play. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many hours I have put into this game. I started with the also fantastic Card Thief, and once I played that out, I looked into what other games were made by Arnold. I couldn’t believe it, but I actually liked this a bit more. You might think this is for a younger crowd, and perhaps it is, but I am a soon to be 50-year-old four-time cookbook author and food blogger who I suspect does not meet their target audience. ? It feels greedy to ask for more levels and challenges once it’s completed, because the game really has so much to offer, and yet I do find myself wishing there were more. But that is not a negative mark against the game, but rather a testament to how great it is. I’m taking my girls to PAX in Boston next week, and I only hope the developers are there since they’re one of the only people I would care to meet. Thanks for a fun way to decompress after a long day, and I hope you come out with more wonderful games. Congratulations on your success.
