From what I've noticed, it doesn't matter if you choose the majority of the monsters in your deck to match a single element, or if you try to compose a balanced deck- I choose to create a solid yellow "Air" type monster deck, not because their beasts were more effective, but because I liked the monsters designs. For a game that can take hours to finish a single match, I'd expect an expanded tutorial mode to explain the different card abilities, strengths, strategies and so on. The boards might introduce a new element with each new battle you take on, such as element-free gray spaces, but you will have to memorize the abilities for many of the monsters if you want to make a dent in your foe's territory. Once you get started, the game does a fairly decent job explaining how the board game portion of Culdcept Saga works, but the strategies regarding the card portion of the game changes wildly with each new opponent. There are many unique rules that have a radical effect on the outcome of the battle, such as the elemental colors of the territory spaces, item cards, spell cards and a myriad of other factors. If another player lands on a space that is occupied by your monster, the card battling mechanics kick in resulting in a monster fight for the territory. Territory is claimed by dropping a monster card onto the spaces you land on after the "dice" is rolled.
The object of a match is to obtain a predetermined amount of territory points with your custom deck of 50 cards on the board game styled map and to finish a lap around the level before your opponent.
Wow! That Wendigo ripped that Weretiger Card a new one!ĭo you love Mario Kart, but lose it at the thought of getting slammed with a Blue Shell after staying on top of the pack for 90% of the race? Well then, stay away from Culdcept Saga! Maybe that's a little unfair, as many board games ultimately decide the winner by chance, but Culdcept Saga seems to roll the dice for choosing the game's winner a little too often.Ĭuldcept Saga is the Japanese lovechild between a trading card game and the classic Monopoly board game.
