Card Crawl: Delve Mode

I got through all of the 32 cards needed to unlock the Delve mode, only to fine that the Delve mode isn't that different from the regular game, other than essentially counting how many hands in a row you can win.  So, you start at Delve Level 1 and need something like 10 coins and a win to move on to level 2.  With each level you need 5 more coins to progress.  I did make it to level 10 to meet one of the quests on the Quests page, then failed and dropped back to level 9.

Tonight I lost more and sunk to level 5.  So, it's a long haul to move up and get past your personal best.  It would be nice if there was a high score of some kind, but just getting back up to level 10 has been a challenge, and I can see ahead to where level 18 might require a win and 100 gold to surpass.  And I almost never get more than 70 or 80 gold per hand.  I'm not sure level 20 could even be reached with a progression lke that.

Looking at the Quests screen, it's a bit of a jumble.  I completed on quest to kill a 20+ monster, then the Delve level 10 quest but all it did was unlock a new character card which had no modifiers or special abilities.

I was hoping for some extended play options or something new to see after getting the full set of cards.  It's still a fun challenge, and I guess I will focus more on those quests.  I don't know what the Trophies page is good for if you have no friends playing and are not in any group, or what the Constructed section is for.

Empires & Puzzles: End of Season 5

Image
I finished Season 5 (Egypt).  The last battle was impressive, with Set starting at about 18K HP with the usual minions, after which he becomes a titan battle with about 60KHP, and as that was winding down with my guys getting very weak, he came back as a regular battle with anoth 13KHP.  I think I did the 75 gems to buy a second chance, but it was a good end-of-season adventure with some surprises. A few nights back, I got an event summons and came up with Heimdall, that really difficult opponent who blows his horn and heals allies above their normal max HP, AND can reincarnate fallen allies.  Now he's on my team 6, and I'm training him up to help with the alliance wars. Last night I got a few event summons again, and bought a few more for $5.99.  Got some new ones: lemur construct, treevil, and a bunch of really odd characters.  I later got 3 summons from coins at the end of the event and got two different gnomes and some kind of magical flamingo.  Heck, 500 coins fo

Peace by Peace: Succulents

Image
We got Peace by Peace: Succulents a few weeks back at the Toy Box in San Clemente, CA on the way back from a weekend trip.  I also got the cactus-themed game "What's the Point" in that same batch, so it was an odd pair.  Two of the types of plants I used to grow back when I had space to grow things. Anyway, Peace by Peace is not really a game, it's a series of 50 puzzles.  There is a set of 45 triangle-shaped tiles with colored leaf patterns in each corner, then a set of 50 cards giving puzzles to be solved.  Each card list which numbered tiles to use and shows a few starting cards by their number, but not what position they're in, followed by some empty spaces and possibly the colors of a few other corners. The challenge is to work out how to complete the pattern using the tiles available.  It's a bit annoying finding those tiles to setup the puzzles, but we settled on stacking them in piles of 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40-45.  Then we could easily find wh

Idle Planet Miner - Debris Fields

Image
I finally completed research for the debris field in Idle Planet Miner.  It only took about a full month of what little time I have to fiddle with it daily. Yes, the debris fields are automatically harvested, just like the asteroids.  I have seen two debris fields appear so far.  One gave me a satellite dish and the other gave 71 basic computers.  So they are pretty much exactly what I was expecting: a source of random items. Here is one I caught in a screenshot... I added the white box so you can see it better.  They are gone in about 5 seconds like the asteroids so you might not see them most of the time.  I suddenly have 60 advanced computers, 700 lasers and a ton of other things.  Now I need 5 more nuclear reactors and 92 scrith alloy for the only other research available: superior asteroid harvester, another x1.3 value bonus.  I guess I can also do Advanced Leader for 8 more motors, 8 telescopes and 111 scrith alloy. I also made it to planet 43, the $6.2q investment, the first one
