“Spellcraft: Descent into Chaos” is a free-to-play digital collectible card game (CCG) developed by Three Goblins Ltd, released on iOS for iPad and iPhone.

= Game Overview = Spellcraft is a collectible card game that is a turn-based online tactical match between two opponents, operated through Apple’s Game Center.

Theme
Spellcraft is set within its own fantasy world, and uses its own original races and monsters. Short fiction, employing the creatures and abilities found on the game’s cards, is occasionally posted on the game sites by the developers, to give players some backstory about the game world.

Cards
Cards are the main component of the game, existing as a virtual collection held on [iCloud], and played onto the board to create forces and support cards, or to represent instantaneous one-off effects

There are currently 7 different Factions, each with over 40 cards. Factions form a key part of the game, and not only each represent a different terrain but also focus on a theme, card type or game mechanic.

Air: Speed and Spells.

Fire: Direct damage, at the expense of defense.

Forest: Healing and growth.

Jungle: Large vicious creatures. Traps.

Ocean: Sudden change of board conditions.

Swamp: Manipulation of cards in discard piles.

Underworld: Deceit, treachery and control.

Future factions will populate the areas of the world-map not yet accessible on the game’s world map. This will bring the total number of factions to over 10, and the number of cards to almost 500.

Matches
Each Spellcraft match is battle between two opponents. Players can choose from single-player campaign, or head-to-head with another human opponent. Its turn-based system sees players taking turns to place cards on their half of the game board. Forces, represented by mobile Minions and immobile Barriers, are placed on a player’s front row. Traps, Auras and Items, playing the role of support cards, are placed on a player’s back row. Spell cards are played directly onto their targets.

Each player brings a predesigned deck to the match. Deck design is a main tactical element of the game with players trying to discover interesting and dangerous combinations.

At the start of each turn, a player gains a new card from their deck. However, at any time(s) during their own a player can use power points to draw extra cards.

A match is won by reducing he opponent’s health to zero or less.

Game Currency
Players start the game with a starter pack of cards, but can gain a wider variety of cards through spending Goblin Gold, the in-game currency. Goblin Gold is won for winning any match and completing achievements. For players wishing to accelerate the process, Goblin Gold can be obtained as an In-App Purchase(IAP). Players can also acquire Goblin Gold from selling unwanted cards back to the game.

Design Philosophy
From its conception the game was designed for ease of use, allowing players to focus on strategy. Several aspects mimic that of traditional board war-games, with lanes of attack, breach points, stand-offs, and flanking moves.

Spellcraft enforces a maximum of two different factions in a deck, preventing a cherry-picking approach and forcing tactical planning regarding the interactions between the two chosen factions. The game does not use a growing power mechanism common to most other card games. This was to reduce the effects of the “luck of the draw”; players have equal access to the same amount of power as any other player. Therefore there is no equivalent of Magic the Gathering’s land cards, neither is there any need to use cards from your deck to be used as power points. Another deliberate design point was not making rarer cards necessarily more powerful, to encourage fairness and not hand victory to those who just own more cards.

Sound
The soundtracks were composed by Tim Cross, Albert Alvarez, and The Heed.

Release
“Spellcraft" was first released on the App Store on Sep 12, 2012, and has seen several updates.
