It is the gameplay and of course the deck building where the fun begins. It is easy to get into the game and start playing in a matter of minutes. This short description will sound very familiar to any collectible card player, and actually the game rules are extremely simple and straightforward. At the beginning of each round you can sacrifice one card for resources which you then can use to pay for your cards, which consist of items, events, allies and spells.
Each of these characters has a special ability that usually uses up his “shadow points”, which work a little like Mana and are raised every turn.īasically the players get a starting card hand and then proceed to bring monsters and allies into the fray. These come in several classes and either belong to the Shadow (evil) faction, or the humans. Once you have logged in you get a free starter pack of one of the many possible characters you can play.

Once you have created a free account, you can always access your current game data, regardless of what platform you use. “Shadow Era” is an electronic collectible card game with many similarities to Magic the Gathering that works on all platforms – be it android, iPhone, PC or laptop.
Having extensively played the game in the last months I can’t help but fully agree. A friend of mine – my regular “Game of Thrones Card Game” gaming partner Ulrich Hergl, who recently made 2nd place at GenCon’s “Call of Cthulhu Card Game” tourney, has made me aware of the game “Shadow Era” with the remark “I wish there was an electronic version of the Fantasy Flight LCG’s that works like this”. Let’s take a more detailed look at an Android and iOS game that is in many ways representative of current trends. Transcript of the podcast published December 6th, 2011.
