- It is bordering on being a casual mobile game, I think if I had a Steamdeck I would play it more.

i first heard of this game from a youtuber called pisty he played it on his stream channel i like the game and bought it it's actually a very good game if u like card like games tho it's more than that and really fun u can spend hours playing it i just love it and it runs very good even on this very weak laptop which is surprising it has good graphics and i think it runs 60fps at 1080p which is not what i expected and i would like to see a port for macos cuz i really wanna play it on my mac as well thx for the devs

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Some adjustments to how many players are available or more detailed stat tracking would help with building the "story" - although maybe I am unaware of how much real teams cycled through starters in the 80s.
