Yep, I got into the closed beta a while back, been having a lot of fun
:-) I'm still not very good at it, but I can win a fair number of
games anyway, and really enjoy trying to come up with tactics - often
doesn't work out but it's the kind of game where it doesn't really
matter what level you're at since in theory you get matched with
people around your own level. That doesn't always work out so well,
but most of the time it feels fairly balanced, at least if I'm playing
a class I'm not too bad at!

Love how polished the game feels, all the animations, and little
details in the game boards, for a game that could have been done
really simply, you can tell they put a lot of time and effort into
making it jst right. Ok, still a few bugs to be solved, but overall,
it's really good - although I have to say I spend far too much time
playing with the board, firing catapults and seeing what noise comes
after is funny (love hitting a murloc lol :-P), or tormenting the poor
gryphon by clicking on it ;-)
