But Why Tho?	Charles Hartford	9.5 / 10	05-09-2020	The game is fun, interesting and puts enough twists on the tried and true CCG formula to stand out from the crowd. It’s filled with fun personalities and supported by a microtransaction system that doesn’t feel like it’s out to fleece you.	Read review
