I'm not really into TCG games…though I've become addicted to this one. First off, it plays like a board game. It's not too overly complicated (i.e. Screwy card text). Every game is unique and different. The art work is just phenomenal. In an age where AI is looks like its taking over you have this game; artists doing REAL art and (presumably) getting paid.
The other great thing is this game is well balance. Even when you're close to losing you can sometimes Claw your way back. Or at least get a few hits in.
You could buy this pre-constructed deck and just leave it as is, treat it like a board game. In fact, if this was a board game (with the amount of stuff you get in this box) it's price point would probably be a lot higher.
Definitely buy the playing mat with it.
