Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This game is more a cards game than strategy, however it uses terminology of most strategies like resources, damage, and hitpoints. The rules of this game are very simple, and you will be able to figure them out in the first round. You and your opponent have 6 cards each. In your turn you can either use one of your cards or discard of as many as you wish. Each card will have some effect for a price of resources. Cards can inflict damage to enemy castle, increase your defense, or fasten the growth of your resources. In the allowed 20 minutes of play we got pretty bored with this game, because there are typically not more than 3 actions available at each turn and not really much depends on the player, since new cards are randomly drawn. The graphics in the game looks well, but the game lacks options, has no music, and sounds are better turned off. Card games experts may like this game, but $15 for the full version seemed too much to us.Publisher's description

Version: Realms of Magic 1.0
Pros: I liked the demo and bought the game, its simple and kind of fun. Cute and worth $15 IF you can activate it and run it.
Cons: You have to activate this game through some sort of server they have which does not work. I have written 8 emails and got no response. Lost my $15, thinking they are out of business maybe but still collecting money from naive customers like me.
DO NOT TRY AND BUY THIS GAME.
