After you’ve been awarded your three ‘faeria’ points and drawn a new card from your deck you’re then free to use any number of cards in your hand (so long as you meet the ‘faeria’ and land type requirements), move creatures already on the grid and attack. Some creatures even have abilities that influence their movement beyond a single tile at a time such as only being able to move across water and lakes or charging across multiple tiles in a straight path.Įach turn in Faeria brings with it a multitude of options that at no point felt intimidating and troublesome to lean. Along with a ‘faeria’ cost, each creature also has tile type requirements you’ll need to meet in order to summon them, health and strength stats and oftentimes unique effects such as attacking any surrounding enemies when played or being able to draw an extra card. Some cards are one-time use and cause some sort of effect on the game while most take the form of creatures that you place on the grid itself and move around to attack others. The cards themselves are your real means to actually attack (or even defend) with each costing you ‘faeria’ (think magic/mana points). That’s the abridged explanation but of course, like any good card game worth your time, there are so many more layers to unravel. To win you’ll need to place land tiles (which come in five different terrains including desert, lake, mountain and forest) across the initially watery grid working your way toward your opponent and inflict enough damage to their hero using cards to summon creatures or perform other violent attacks. What’s immediately interesting about Faeria is that it isn’t purely a card-based game but actually features some rather interesting board game-style elements too.īattles take place on a large grid of hexagonal-shaped tiles with each player’s hero sitting on opposite sides at the top and bottom. Fortunately, Faeria does quite the opposite. So, reviewing a title like Faeria is certainly exciting – this being my first real CCG foray in quite some time – and an experience that could have easily pushed me further from the genre. Sure, I’m fully aware of the likes of Hearthstone, Gwent and Magic the Gathering either through friends or whenever they’ve cropped up in the news but never have I dabbled for myself – largely due to the intimidation I’ve found that comes with learning games of these sorts. Sure, I got heavily involved in the Pokemon Trading Card scene back in school, buying booster packs and crafting the best grass and water type deck you’ve ever seen but fast forward to present day and that’s really where my involvement stopped. I’m going to come clean right out the gate here, my level of familiarity with the Collectable Card Game genre is what you might call limited, to say the least.
