I just bought this and played a few games, but now for whatever reason it's not letting me play with these cards anymore. I can still select 'Colony Wars' under selections, but it only pairs me up with base sets. If I select only 'Colony Wars', I'm stuck in an infinite Please Wait. As before this game still has a lot of bugs and as of now it seems I've wasted 5 dollars until they fix it.. Buyer beware.

There are few apps or games (and even fewer DLC packs) that are day one purchases for me, this and all SR packs are day one purchases.Sure the UI looks different, but over time you get used to it, (to the point I think I like the changes)Also, because of the amount of cards included, $5 is a steal.. [[i]Reverting this to a positive review; feedback that the original review was too dated seemed a fair point. Besides, some of the changes I disliked seemed to have been reverted or changed for the better. Leaving the original negative untouched below. I still dislike the overall UI changes, but at this point it shouldn't be a deciding factor for anyone and they're not going to change it.[\/i]]Short and sweet of it is that Colony Wars is easily the best bang-for-the-buck cards expansion of Star Realms, it being a full-standing deck in and of itself. If you're uncertain about which sets to grab, this should be the first on your list.[--original negative review--]Agh ... Colony Wars is a great set and I have no complaints with the cards, but ...Lots of baffling changes happening here with UI and matchmaking ... cards are now slanted in view (seems pointless in a setup with a screen), quick match times are whittled down from 3 minutes to 60 seconds (but with adding ~3s for each action taken) ... speeds up play at the start but when you hit late-game turns where you actually want to, you know, think about what you're doing, it really is not enough time.You can't even concede Realtime matches anymore. The developers making Dawn of War III scrambled when they realized they'd forgotten to implement a surrender function in that game (and rushed it out in the first patch), and here they're actually taking this functionality away?I do really like star realms (have most of the physical cards) but I can't recommend this digital version at all in its current state. Really hoping they revert some of the very poor design choices here.Quick look at changes both good and bad:+ Finally a lot of new music+ 'Play All' feature speeds things up a lot early game+ More cards, yay.- Unable to concede in Realtime matches. Forced to either watch someone slowly gloat their way through their last turn(s) in inevitable circumstances or just exit the game and wait for timeout before you can start a new one.- Realtime matches whittled down from 3 minutes to '1 minute plus change', realtime matches can feel very rushed, esp. in late game.? Cards unnecessarily slanted. I mean you get used to it eventually but it feels really unnecessary, the original format was perfectly fine.. Fun new cards.There were bugs when this came out, they were fixed in less than a month.. There are few apps or games (and even fewer DLC packs) that are day one purchases for me, this and all SR packs are day one purchases.Sure the UI looks different, but over time you get used to it, (to the point I think I like the changes)Also, because of the amount of cards included, $5 is a steal.
