Die Regeln sind einfach und werden in einem Tutorial Schritt für Schritt erklärt. Jede Karte bringt einzigartige Optionen und kann den ganzen Spielverlauf ändern. Daraus ergibt sich eine wunderbare taktische Vielfalt, die für spannende Abwechslung sorgt.
I already own the physical version of the Trick or Beat card game, and that one is beautifully designed on its own. This digital version? It straight-up outclasses it. I highly suggest giving it a try. But beware: It could be addictive. There are two small issues that i had with the physical card game: 1. It is sometimes hard to figure out what is really going on, especially if lots of units are deployed. You need to look out for all the different abilities and their combinations and impact on the game. Most abilities are also tied to conditions that first have to be met. It is fun, if you know all the different cards, but hard at first. 2. You need to calculate in every turn how much attack strength you or your oponent has and the same again for defense. This game perfectly solves these two issues for me while maintaining the complexity, fun and enjoyment of the card game. You always have a good overall view of the battlefield. Abilities that you can activate are marked with a satisfying protruding glint and the game does calculate everything for you. Every attack, every defense is shown clearly arranged. It also comes with stylish decorations and other cosmetics to show off your trickery success. And there are emotes for those “I can’t believe that combo just worked” moments. You also have a chance to beat (or trick) Mick when you find him.

Really exciting card game to play. It combines tactical and strategic elements with a little bit of luck, and is overall very balanced. Once you have figured out the basic game mechanics and know the card pool your skill quickly improves. Apart from that all the funny images and texts add a lot of fun to the game. Concerning this digital version (there is also a physical version which I highly recommend), the graphics, effects and also the control make it really exciting to play. I'm convinced the game has a lot of potential so just give it a try ;)

Fair, taktisch, kein Pay-to-Win - Skill entscheidet. 👍
A great game for board game lovers and card gamers. Enjoyed the time i played it, will be happy to try it with friends
Als Fan von TCG's und Taktikspielen kann man Trick or Beat nur lieben. Das Spiel ist sehr gut ausbalanciert, vielseitig und hat viel taktische Tiefe. Durch das Tutorial kommt man zu Beginn auch sehr schnell ins Spiel rein und kann nach 15-20 Minuten schon mit den ersten Duellen anfangen.
Macht mega Bock und hat mich direkt gepackt. Nach der anfänglichen Überforderung und dem Verstehen der Regeln (die eigentlich gar nicht so komplex sind) macht es richtig Spaß. Die vielen verschiedenen Karten sind am Anfang etwas überwältigend, bieten aber viele Möglichkeiten für Strategien. Besonders gut finde ich, dass es kein Pay-to-Win gibt, da das für mich jeden Online-Modus direkt ruiniert.
Beste game.
Cool Game. Nice to play with friends and funny like the real card game.
