So I've been looking around on the play store to find some good ways to waste my time and I have found a ton of virtual collectible card games. I've played a lot of them and they are fun... you can check my previous blog about the baseball game it is a pretty cool concept.
Now I have found an app called 'History Attacks' it is yet another card battle game but this one uses a slot type action to give you a bonus when attacking. The tactic is to use power ups and special attacks from your cards in relation to 'poker hands.' A certain card may have the ability to add cards to a straight you are building, while some other history cards in your deck may use a special attack only when you get a poker hand like a 'straight.' The cards also have an elemental alignment which will make them stronger or weaker against other elements. This makes the tactics quite sophisticated as you have to figure out whether to try for certain poker hands or not as well as building your deck with cards based on their poker hand triggers and special abilities. This all may seem a bit confusing but it really isn't that hard to pick up.
A weird thing about 'History Attacks' is that many of the characters are actually fictional or are more famous for being in fiction than their historical deeds. Just recently there was an event about the three musketeers... I don't really recall seeing Portis in many history books, but perhaps that is my schooling.
There are many such games on the market and some have nice licensing such as marvel heroes and transformers... What I don't get is that as nice as these cards are they are virtual and even if you were to pay for them you can't take them with you anywhere... they just sit in the app on your phone.
Overall they are a fun divergence and I particularly enjoy the unique game play of 'History Attacks.' So, if you are in the mood to play some cards just jump on the bandwagon and figure out what the deal is with all these card games!
