To me this is one of the best deck building games, because it does _so_ many things right. Normally you'd collect cards, build up your deck and then use that to play. With Mystic Vale otoh the deck building is actually part of the game itself, and that means that every game is going to be different. 'Vale' has a bit of a learning curve, but you can learn the basics from playing. Also.. the expansions are really good as well. All in all I highly recommend this game.

The solo experience doesn't even qualify as a game. It might be a great game multilayer, I don't know. The extensively cheating, so-called AI (basically just a very basic script manipulating your deck, your card draws and probabilities) effectively destroys the game and makes it that none of your decisions matter or have an impact on the outcome of the game. Do not play this solo! It's boring, frustrating and does not respect you as a player or the time you invest in it.

Solo play is a disaster, with the bots that act first usually getting all the good cards and eventually winning. Somehow when you go first the bots still get great card draws and manage to buy all the good cards anyway, winning in a landslide. And with so much happening every turn (which happens in the background), there's no way to know if they are playing fair. Waste of time and money.
