The objective of the game is to be the first one to build a castle with a height of 100 units. Obviously this is easier if you have more builders, who in turn can make more bricks. Also you can attack the opposition's castle, where more soldiers means more fire power. And finally there is magic, which can increase and decrease almost everything, where once again more magicians means more spells. By selecting your favoured card you modify all the features I just mentioned in a bid to get your castle built first.
Gave it a try. Too easy for my tastes, I beat it in half an hour. What's worse you need more luck than strategic thinking to beat your opponent. I think this game is more fun in 2 player mode, pity there's no online play option.
