We liked it so much that we actually went out and bought the game at Barnes and Nobles. I'm not kidding. It's one of the best card games I've ever played. Maybe Cards Against Humanity is better, haha:
Just picked up Lost Cities tonight and played about five games. It's definitely fun if you are into card games though the AI seems pretty easy to beat. I also tried waiting for an online match for a few minutes but gave up rather quickly. A few of my wants are: - A few more locations and opponents would be nice. Five total seems appropriate. - A tournament/campaign mode with increasing AI - The multiplayer matching system doesn't give me enough info. I'd like the option to see others hosting games and join them. Or perhaps if someone is playing single player send a request for multiplayer.
No regrets buying it. The price is right for what it is considering the physical card game is about $20 and this one lets you play against the computer and game in exotic locations. If I can pick up a few multiplayer games it will be more than worth it.
Seems like a pretty poor use of Vr IMO. You can play card games with a mouse.
You would think but I keep going back to playing it as well as Solitaire Jester. Probably played about 4 hours of it since buying it a few days ago.
The one thing I notice with the AI is that it has a hard time waiting to use the $ tiles (multiplies the value of your expedition). That's what makes them pretty bland opponents at the moment. Hopefully they improve this in future patches.
I would love to get a multiplayer game going since it uses Oculus Social for talking with the other player but so far I haven't found someone else to join. My largest complaint is that when you start a multiplayer session you are completely blind. It should tell me the last time someone connected, the number of games that connected in the last 24 hours, and the average time to connect or something like that. e.g. Waiting... 0:35 Games played today: 258 Average wait time: 2:56
I gave up in frustration after about 20 seconds each time I tried to use multiplayer. If I had some idea of how long it might take for someone to join, I'd wait it out. Also, there should be a way to host a game but then start playing the single player game. Or get notified if someone else starts a multiplayer game while you are playing single player. Otherwise it's too tedious to wait there with nothing happening.
Really Oculus should figure all this out with the Oculus Social API that developers are building multiplayer with.
