The "Hannibal" of fantasy TBS card games

Guardians of Grazia on GamersGate. Great game. It gives me that same feeling of depth, tactics and quality as Hannibal. Looks like Elven Legacy but deeper. If Matrix had it for $30, I'd buy it. Right now it's only $9.

I never post on this part of the forum, but had to share thoughts on this one. And it's not a card game. It's a turn-based wargame that happens to use cards for bonuses and such.

Petroglyph is a known developer and you can tell it was a game they wanted to make. There's also a board game, so the rules have been well hammered out.

Graphics, UI, play mechanics are all nicely done. There's so many things influencing each combat, it keeps you on the edge. Very difficult to stop playing.

So many bad games get bought by good people. Let us good people buy this good game!

Looks interesting... Definitely would want to buy that.

However, I'll wait till they remove Securom first, shame.. [:(]

I had noticed that on the product page, but did not notice any overt DRM when starting/playing. But I'm not sure what Securom is anyway.

UbiSoft's DRM for their newer Settlers game is horrible though. I gave up on trying to install it for now.

Best to you!

Another surprisingly good game is Philip of Macedon for $15 on Impulse if you can catch the sale today.
