I really don't love deckbuilders. They tickle the wrong part of my brain, and I get stressed by how perfect play is generally impossible. Thankfully, as is usual, at some point I stumbled into a semblance of strategy (and a too good Death Card), and that let me enjoy the whole of the experience, which lived up to all the expectations I had, even considering that those expectations were of the very dangerous "I've heard this game does wild stuff, so I don't want to spoil it." Wonderful changes of pace over the course of the experience, and it could have easily gone on for more acts without wearing me out. Though, after one run at the randomized mode, I was content to walk away.
