Sovereign: Fall of Wormwood Review: Your Other Card Games Don't Want You To Know About This Game

Sovereign: The Fall of Wormwood.
Faction based asymmetric battling with a clever twist of what the typical tropes and mechanistic approaches usually bring us. First to 10. Sounds simple right? But there's the catch. You can steal those cards in the form of "points" from your opponent if you're more clever, outbluff, or just like usual outplay your foe.
What makes it different and what do you need to know? Let's talk.
Thanks for watching!

    Reminds me of Android: Netrunner - a really great game.

    100%. The Echos are like the agendas. You can search the hand ala making a run on HQ. The mind games of playing echos and units being face down is super reminiscent of laying down ICE etc. I’m really intrigued by a similar game where you are essentially runner and corp though and the asymmetry comes purely from abilities and strategy. There has to be a trap faction with ICE stuff right??

    Just played it on TTS and in fact it look heavily inspired by it. Imagine if both players had to hold agendas and both score them or steal them. You only have 2 servers and you can only do 1 run per turn. It means the core gameplay is less asymetric than Netrunner but more balanced. It also preserve the tension of running the right server for the turn or you might lose the game. When I stopped playing Netrunner I wished the game was just a bunch of constructed deck. I hated the fact that I had to store so many cards and buy all the new packs to follow the game. Also, a LCG or CCG is not always fun or balanced depending on the current meta and constructed deck really solve all of these problems.

    sounds pretty good. will there be a latepledge option without disadvantages? (pricier, follower bonus/day 1 bonus lacking etc?)

    Do you happen to know if the deck boxes provided can fit sleeved cards? Also do you know if these are standard sized? Thanks

    I know, this is one of our most asked question! We haven't cracked a single player yet. Hopefully in the future we will have an app with a single player campaign!

    A little. It’s got a lot of Android Netrunner DNA though.

    Nah, it's way more complex than Radlands. Only similar thing is "lane" system, but they work completely different and this game actualy requires economy in order to play cards and effects. It's more similar to Android: Netrunner, than Radlands

    I just played it on TTS and the core system is a evolution of Android Netrunner obviously. Imagine if both side could steal and score the agendas and both had 2 servers where only 1 of those servers could be run per turn. This is how it feels. I only have 1 games but I am impress for now. I got some of the same feeling I had in Netrunner about the tension and bluffing. I think this game focused more on a tight balance but if tension and excitement were strings, Netrunner could stretch them a bit more. It is also only constructed decks and I think it is a better approach for the customers than any CCG or LCG. In fact, this is what I said to my friends after I stopped playing A:N, that I hope the game was just a bunch of constructed decks instead of a LCG.
