While it may take some time to learn, the depth it offers makes it worth the investment. Overall, Shadowfist has a strong replayability score of 8.1.
Luck profile

Overview
What ABG knows about this game
A collectible cardgame based on Kung Fu, sci fi and action movies that pits players against each other in a secret war to control the world's feng shui sites across time. Based on yet another world created by the venerable Robin D. Laws (Doomtown, On the Edge, etc.), the game stands on the shoulders of Magic: The Gathering and On the Edge, focusing on multi-player rather than two-player games. With the "Combat in Kowloon" expansion, this game no longer uses randomized booster packs, instead using a distribution method similar to a Fantasy Flight LCG (called "Dynamic Card Game").
