Better to make a suboptimal move and consider it a lesson learned than to hold everyone up. It's okay if occasionally I...

I very much enjoy playing RtfG, as an ex-CCG player there is a lot about this game which appeals. It has the elements and feel of a collectable card game without many of the drawbacks and costs that I associate with them.
