Okay so I suddenly got the itching for a cardbuilder game...but the only cardbuilder game I've ever played is Pokemon TCG for the gameboy...and it's mostly what I want.

That said, are there any single player game where you build decks against AI, and get rewarded with drops--or currency to buy booster packs? The only game I know like that is Card City Nights but...I'm not the hugest fan of that.

Maybe try a GBA or DS emulator and get a YuGiOh game? That's probably the best option.

Calculords, or Hearthstone if you only play the PvE content I guess. Scrolls would have been fine but yeah, it's sadly closing down next year.

The devs of Alphabear gave everyone 400 free coins, improved the daily challenge design, and added a way to go back to previous chapters.

They also said all of it in a really nice, well written thank you message. I think they might be the beary best developers out there :3:

Alphabear is great for teaching kids how to read and write, except when you have 5 letters left on a perfect game and they are UNCTY. I swear that the devs made it so that the letters that will help you spell terrible words are more likely to drop.

OK I did the DBZ Puzzle game reroll song-and-dance in order to try for a Super Super Rare (did not get one) and I learned a few things, chief of which is that cards of a given rarity are crazy unequal, even accounting for all their weird passive abilities and synergies. You should reroll, it doesn't take long. Frieza and Goku are really good, and Master Roshi has good teamups with your starters and Gohan, who you can get through an event. I tried to go with SR Android 18 and Captain Ginyu but her stats fell way behind and her +ki leader skill either doesn't work right or is just bad, and then I pulled another SR Captain Ginyu who was better at level 1 than mine was at level 10. I sure hope someone makes that PGS android number thread soon, but until then here's my code: 3214991448

in summary, it's fun enough. You can zoom out on the board game. If you get a Game Over, everything that happened on that map is wiped including items you used, so you don't need to be conservative on an iffy fight.

Can confirm this happens to me all the drat time. The letter generation is far from random, and sometimes you're playing "guess what obscure word the engine decided to give you the letters for". Probably my only complaint about the game.

e: but in that case you could do "CUT" and then "NY" probably

There are like 8 SRs you can get there, most of them are good but Krillin might be the best b/c of the Gohan and Vegeta events. When you beat the tutorial stage and check your mailbox, you should have enough premium currency for a rare or better summon. Make room for me in your friends list please, my power level is 530,000 e: you may be able to do this by erasing all WALGs who aren't lvl28 Frieza's with Death Beam 2

I just wish that when you hit the "refresh" button that it picked new words. It clearly only picks about 5 of the words you used per run. If it picked from the entire pool every time you hit Refresh it would come up with funny ones worth posting a lot more often. Then again maybe that's the point, the devs wanted it to feel special when you actually hit a funny one.

I've been playing this thing which really doesn't need an internet connection. If you are, the ads are pretty atrocious. I recommend liberal use of the back key since the devs forgot and you can just back out of any ad with no consequence.

Enough about that! Infinite Stairs gameplay is pretty easy to understand. You've got two controls, one to climb and to turn around. Turning around also climbs, though, and basically the whole thing is just learning the timing on stairs patterns. Theres a lot of characters, pets and stages to unlock, and lots of different ways to unlock the characters.

Overall, if I could throw a couple of bucks to remove ads or double the coin values I don't think I'd have any complaints about the game. It's sort of the same type of feeling when I get playing Crossy Road or Tower Slash, except I don't have to deal with swipes which can register wrongly or require more room than I have.


My high score is actually 326 now, but this is the screenshot have available.
