The game has a fairly simple core concept: Each player starts with 100 life points, and you want to bring your opponent to 0. You can do this through persistent damage from summoned creatures, or instant spikes of damage from spells. Each player creates a deck of 30 cards, of which you may only have a maximum of 3 of any individual card. These cards become more powerful as you play them each game, and reset after the match ends.
The game has five lanes that you can play creatures in, and unless you have a special way to make them move, they remain in that lane until destroyed. Creatures attack each turn in their lane, either doing damage to a player (if left in an open lane) or to an opposing creature (if set in a lane against an opposing creatures). Creatures do a specific amount of damage with each attack, and have a set pool of hit points to take damage from.
The game has a huge amount of strategies that you can build decks around. Speed rush strategies try to overwhelm your opponent before they can gain access to more powerful cards, often using creatures that attack immediately, or have high damage and low health pools. Defensive decks use high health or resistant creatures to stall for time, gaining access to more powerful creatures as the game progresses. Mob or zoo decks simply pump out more creatures than an opponent can handle, dealing damage by always filling and getting through an open lane. The strategies go on and on. If you find one card you like the mechanic of, chances are, you can make a deck around it.
Another great point to Solforge is that it is free. You do not need to spend a single cent on the game, though you can spend real money to buy card packs more frequently than usual. It is available for IPads, as well as being on Steam for PC.
I've spent a lot of spare time playing Solforge, as a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master. I hope you. Give it a try!
Toodles!
