Me and Krio tonight had some fun on this strategy card game you can get off Live.

Lets just say we spent the best part of 2hours pulling these cards out and what an end it was!

Started off with good cards, that helps, which included 2 that gave us 1 life point for each card of a type played, nice!

Our sweet life points (you only start with 30):

We just could not resist doing so, initally we where going to go for 100 life, then thought, why not.

Def something that will prob never do again lmao

it took hours but it was fun :D. we started playing the round as normal going for the kill then we got their life points down too 13 and we realised that we had an unbeatable card since they couldnt get anything that would make it break a sweat never mind kill it (if they did it has a sheild that stops it from dieing and it resets its defence points at the end of the turn). so in this we challenged ourselfs to get to 100 life points but we only got better from there on so we stuck with it to the bitter end :D.

the opponent on the top right only had 7 cards left in his deck from a total of 50(ish) so it was a long long game that we could have carried on for another 7 turns or so before we really had to attack but with each turn lasting around 10mins each it was time to cash in and see what damage we could do with our uber set of cards on the table.

I used to play this game in real life when I was like 10 i still got the cards lieing around somewhere. Also tournament rules say you state with 20life so why do you start with 30?

Is 20, my mistake, i was thinking of an achievement, if you bump to 30 life you get some gamerpoints for it.

in the xbox game its 30 life points for double battles (this is shared life points) and 20 for single battles i dont know the table top rules so couldnt tell you if it has been changed for the xbox.

the acheivment is get life points up too 30+ in single battle or 60+ in double battle
