Great game! Allows for much more strategy, rather than crystal specialized decks dominating the game (at least, not as much as version 1). Bricks have attack cards, and with the 100+ castle victory (might just be in practice, yet to test), brick specialized decks now have a chance. Lots of good balancing going on. Though crystals imo still dominate....magic shield? As well as games lasting longer, high cost cards are much more useful.
