Shards of Infinity Card Game Review
70Shards of Infinity shares a lot in common with other head-to-head deckbuilding games such as Star Realms and Hero Realms. To the extent that it may be difficult to justify owning both.
However, Shards of Infinity is, as a whole, a deeper experience and has quite a few mechanisms that not only make it stand out compared to the competition but also managed to tackle a few common issues that deckbuilding games tend to suffer from.

Player Count: 2-4
Genre: Deck Building
Weight: Light
Price: $20
**Pros**
Easy to learn, fast to set up, and quick to put away
A refined deck builder that feels like a natural evolution of its competition
The mastery system serves as a great alternate win condition and strategical factor
The concept of mercenaries gracefully patches holes that usually plague deck-building games while offering extra depth at the same time
Great artwork
Inexpensive price
A great two player head to head experience
**Cons**
The cards do not link the theme to the mechanisms they present
The character boards are obnoxiously large and awkward
The spinner dials are loose and prone to movement
At three and four players, it's very easy to gang up on a player, and almost no way to defend against it.
