So a certain card game I did some alpha testing for came out a while ago (the meatspace versions of the cards can be bought here.) However, the client the community used to chat was awful and broke all day long so I gave up. After a while though, I discovered a website here

http://www.fantasystrike.com/dev/

which lets you play quickly and easily - no download, no registration, you just run it in your browser. (Well, you can register, but it just takes a name and password, no email or anything.) Also it's free (as in completely free, not like Lusternia/League of legends, there is no money involved.) ALSO, the game enforces rules, so that makes it nice and convenient. I asked the guys who run it if it was ok to link you all and it seems there's no problem with that.

A rules PDF can be found here. It may look kind of intimidating, but I assure you it's very simple and easy to grasp. Generally I have people playing competently in about 3 turns or less. There's a quickmatch function so you can play with whoever, or alternately I'll be hosting games with spectator mode on (password will be estarra) so anyone can join and check it out.

You can contact me on my MSN/AIM (in my profile) or on Skype ("az/urashiri", no stroke or quotes) if you want a runthrough or something, just make sure you let me know you're Lusternian.

EDIT: Incidentally, client controls: leftclick to rotate (the half closer to the opponent is the one being played, likewise for the opponent), rightclick+hold to view enlarged, leftclick+drag to play.

This is pretty fun!

I just perfected Solanis twice in a row, any challengers!?

Cool game. It's okay, it's reflecting my HoN streak as well.

Shiri's been mentoring me! Come play.

I tend to favour DeGrey (Myon) right now.

I tried playing this, and it's kinda fun! Even though I totally only sort of understand what is going on. I recommend asking Shiri to help you figure out what to do, because the rules are really boring to read.

Going to bed now, I think Alianna and Phoebus are playing atm if you make it though. I'll be around in the morning if anyone feels like it. (I saw Liet, Daraius, Ssaliss and Viravain lurking earlier!)
Rika2011-09-12 23:38:04
I'm so bad at this.
Unknown2011-09-13 05:39:00
me and rika are playing now, feel free to come along ! Lusternia room, p/w estarra
Rika2011-09-13 05:39:08
Edit: Solanis cheats.

I was trying quick matches but people kept DCing or leaving or something. ):
Shiri2011-09-13 06:23:46
That's weird, come join us now!
Razenth2011-09-15 01:28:34
Hi, is anyone playing this right this second? I would love to get in on it with familiar (sort of), people.
Shiri2011-09-15 05:47:23
If you're still awake me/Solanis/Rika are on and Xiran and Tewi might be later!
Neos2011-09-15 05:55:34
I just don't find the concept appealing after reading over a few pages of the PDF.
Razenth2011-09-15 05:57:06
At the moment, I'm Guest_maujvujl. Is anyone else around?

Yeah, but I can't send you a PM. Rawr/vkandis are Rika and Solanis, join our game.

I like this game. smile.gif

My strategic suggestion: Let Shiri explain it to you all the while playing against him but having no bloody idea what exactly you are even doing. You'll win. biggrin.gif
Unknown2011-09-22 20:28:39
I want to play this but the UNITY WEB PLAYER IS ANNOYING ME

I beat him once, but then he went serious mode and owned me. D:
