*Pros*
Great consistent artwork taken straight from the video game
A nifty initiative system
Fast to play and quick to set up
Easy to learn, concise rulebook and clear iconography
*Cons*
Almost nothing in common with the video game it's based on, aside from the artwork
Ignoring cards is weirdly effective in a game about drafting cards
The lack of card variety grows stale after a few games
Many decision points feel preprogrammed. The "right" move tends to be obvious with certain goal cards and faction combos.
