Penny Arcade Deck Builder

I like this game! I love PA, and this captures things nicely. I don't quite grok the scoring yet, but it scratches the same itch as ASCENSION. Looks like multiplayer is more meaningful too, as compared to ASCENSION.

A question. There seems to be no way of zooming in to read the text on cards that are not available to purchase or play at any given moment. Since I haven't learned all the card effects yet, I'm finding this tremendously frustrating as regards planning strategy. Seems an extraordinary oversight from a company like PlayDek. Is there a way of doing it that I've missed?

Just double tap the cards and they zoom in like in ascension.

Not sure what you're asking. As QP notes, you can double-click to see any actionable card in a game. And the Main Menu has a card gallery that lets you peruse all the cards. It's actually set up exactly like ASCENSION in this regard.

The only thing I'm not liking is that when you open your deck to see what's all in there, it doesn't show you all your cards like it does in Ascension. It appears to only show you the 5 most recently purchased? I saw this because I know I've had cards that didn't show up when I pulled up my deck.

In other news I liked this for iOS so much I made a trade for the original base set and got Rumble in R'leyh for Christmas. Will be here saturday. My wife and game buddies are going to love it.

All Playdek titles use "double tap to view."

Hey QPCloudy, could you figure out my strategy in that last game? I was buying the Power boss cards. All of the power boss cards. All of them.

Lol. I was trying to go coin on that one. The overall strategy and card synergies seem to push towards evil, but I wanted to try something different. Good game! I just had a killer hand against duke.

All of dem you say?
