It's like a card game, but it's inside a video game that I've never heard of and will never play!!! Holy aready-done-and-so-drawn-out-failure-of-an-idea-that-IGN-for-some-reason-posted-on-YouTube-because-they-have-nothing-better-to-post-and-hey-is-this-a-play-off-Yu-Gi-Oh?-look-at-those-90's-graphics Batman!
So, in short, Meh :| . (P.S. I've always wanted to do one of these kinds of semi-heartfelt rants on the forum. Hope it doesn't get deleted! :wink: )
Plus, it's really not like Wesnoth at all, unless you count the hexes.

What do you mean by this? Scrolls is not ‘inside a video game’; it is a video game.

They probably posted it on YouTube because it is made by Mojang AB, the developers of the very very popular independent game Minecraft, and also looks quite interesting. I don’t know why you are complaining about the graphics, since not only are they actually quite nicely drawn—at least IMO (see the illustrations on the website)—but Wesnoth has rather old-style graphics too, and you don’t seem to have a problem with that.

You should probably rant when you actually have enough of an opinion to do so well, rather than seize the opportunity and try to come up with things to say that don’t even make any sense. If you don’t like a game, sure, say so if you really feel the need to—complaining for the sake of complaining makes you look ridiculous.

Would you think the game was better if it was more like a ripoff of Wesnoth?



Personally, I think Scrolls looks quite interesting and I’ll certainly be giving it a try. The combination of card collecting and tactical battles could be pretty fun, especially since it doesn’t look like turns will take very long.

yes I do think its interesting. Maybe there concept will not work well.

When I saw it, it reminded me of Wesnoth hex map and since i've seen around the Wesnoth CCG project (http://wtactics.org/), would but something interesting if they could merge, like a custom campaign.
