Needs tutorial – Wars of the Roses - Rosenkönig Review

There is about 4 to 8 hours of game play in the campaign. I have not seen any players online for automatch, maybe the game is still too new. When I first started playing the game, I could not figure out what I was supposed to do, which is a cardinal sin in an app. I finally worked out that you click on the card once to preview a move and a second time to play that card, and that the battle/knight resources are spent automatically when your move is onto the other side's pieces. The draw deck is hard to find as well, since the card backs have dark backgrounds and are drawn on top of a dark background. The key mechanic of this game is that you see both players cards, so you can maneuver in such a way that your opponent cannot move, which is advantageous. One thing that would help would be to get help text when you click on various sections of the game. Another thing that would help would be if the campaign mode's first scenario had a tutorial built into it. Once you get past the confusing user interface, there is a decent board game here, but nothing special. I think if you liked the board game, you will like this game.
