❤ Players Construct Intricate Cities and Customize Decks

The game seamlessly blends city building and deck building elements. Players must construct a variety of buildings, such as farms, industries, and science facilities, to generate resources and unlock new building space. Simultaneously, players curate their decks, gaining increasingly powerful cards that synergize with their city's layout in meaningful ways. The need to carefully balance deck size to mitigate randomness, while avoiding overly thin decks, adds an additional layer of strategic depth.

A core strength of the gameplay is the abundance of opportunities to create powerful combinations between a player's buildings and cards. Reviewers consistently praise the depth of this system, with ample room to discover and refine efficient strategies. The ability to upgrade one's deck between levels allows for a sense of progression, as players adapt their approach to the varied challenges presented by each map.

❤ Compelling Gameplay Loop and Progression

The sequential campaign structure, with players progressively improving their city and deck, is well-received. While some reviewers feel the campaign lacks significant long-term replayability, the core loop of the game is widely enjoyed, offering a challenging but satisfying city building and deck building experience.
