Silver Card Game 4+

I love all of the Silver games and this app was pretty close once I got the hang of it. It frustrates me when sometimes I can’t unselect a card or if the move I was trying to do is unsuccessful it completely skips my turn instead of letting me try again. I really like that I can switch around the cards from different decks and hope that all the decks eventually get added. Would also love a player vs. player mode instead of always having to play against the A.I.

I downloaded this in attempts to figure out whether I wanted to back the Kickstarter they're currently running, and my GOD is this an incredibly frustrating experience. This helped me learn that while I like the core mechanics of the game (maybe I will try out one of the small physical boxes but definitely not the full all-in kickstarter pledge like I thought) the app has so many bugs and issues that it has made it impossible to complete a game. I've tried to initiate DOZENS of games on the app, and have only been able to complete ONE game. Half the time there's a game-breaking bug that freezes my game and makes it impossible to continue (noticed it especially when trying to use the Seer (2 in Amulet) special power of viewing other cards in your village, after viewing a card my game would completely freeze and I couldn't continue with anything) or a mistake was made in card selection that I can't undo (which I find INCREDIBLY frustrating) simply because I tapped the wrong thing/place. I tried to give it a few more chances playing with the Bullet deck and the mechanics issues with all the powers become even more apparent there when there's no clear instructions on how to activate certain card powers (Card 9) or a baffling amount of icons (power 4 or 3) that just start getting confusing and convoluted. I'll give the physical game a try, but as an app this needs MAJOR fixes to make it work and I would not recommend it as it is.

I bet this game is super fun in a traditional card game style. However, the app is the worst!! The directions on how to play are vague and confusing, even so I figured I would get the hang of it after playing a few rounds, but nope! The AI has all of these extra moves it can use against you, but essentially all you can do is draw or discard, so it is frustrating and boring play. Supposedly the cards have additional features if you tap on it, but all it does when I tap on it is discard it or it does nothing. You don't get to choose where a card goes when it is added to your hand so it gets confusing knowing which ones you have turned over already. Like other reviews said the touch feature is terrible because you try to do one action and it does the opposite ( like trying to exchange or pick up a card and it discards it). The icons are super small and I finally figured out that if you hold down long enough it tells you what the card is, but then it makes no difference because you can never actually use the feature of the card. If you want to be stressed out and angry with a game then download this one. I had hoped the developers fixed the issues from previous reviews, which is why I gave it a try, but nothing seems to have been improved in the 1+ yrs of reviews. Don’t bother!!
