Yeah, my friends are enamored with watching Hearthstone recently lol. I'd like to give it a try at some point but watching streams of people open booster packs is way further down the rabbit hole than I care to go.
I tried Solforge but after two games against the computer I uninstalled. It just didn't feel like there was much going on. Like compared to... Yugioh or Pokemon I played as a kid, it really felt like a few steps backwards. I have no idea how Hearthstone actually plays, but if it's that simple I don't see it keeping my interest.
The one thing I did notice Solforge doing was taking advantage of digital card manipulation that wouldn't really be possible in normal 'irl' circumstances. Such as a 'tree' card being destroyed but leaving behind a sapling card in its place, or one card creating a duplicate of itself under certain circumstances. I think that's a nice touch to set the digital games apart from 'real' cards, but ultimately they need a good foundation for the game itself first.
