I was quite suprised by the cheap price (8.50 €) of the game.
Looks very interesting, I will put it on my wishlist.

I waited for a true spiritual successor of Rollercoaster Tycoon 1+2 for a long time.
Often I ended up firing up OpenRCT and playing the good old games.
I had Parkitect for a long long time on my wishlist but always hold back buying it because it was sandbox only.

After they announced 1.0 and the release date I bought it and waited until yesterday.
This game is so great. The tutorial and campaign is really nice designed.

I really hope they have success with the game and we see some more DLCs from the developer.

Quoting: liamdaweI would like to point out, even as rubbish as I am with simply the starter content you're given for purchasing it - I've won quite a lot of games against people with a lot of cards I don't have. Buying more cards isn't always the answer, knowing how to use the cards you've got together is.

Is that also the case at competitive drafting (which is paid by tickets) ?

With drafting, both sides pick cards out of stuff at random, even stuff you don't own.

Thx for the answer, Liam.
Did you try Keeper's Draft alreay? How balanced is the matchmaking at this drafting?
Do I understand that right, that Keeper's Draft costs tickets and also booster packs from your inventory and you might win new tickets and packs?

Quoting: subI don't want games that are addictive and exploit
it mainly to squeeze out *further* money from people (in particular, but not only, young people).

That just feels bad. Like I need a shower afterwards.

All this has to be financed somehow. But people just want this cheap F2P garbage. Where they then waste thousands of hours with repetitive gameplay, which isn't about anything. For Artifact I may spend another $100 over the next 10 years and get a game with perpetual support and real market players who care about their free time.

Firstly, I dont't think F2P games are generally garbage.
The F2P model of Dota 2 for example is pretty good.
I mean just the look at the annual International price pool, which is just money from one event.

The problem is, you will certainly not get 10 years of perpetual support by Valve.
Dota 2 is now 5 years old. It's still a lot of fun but it's clear that Valve reduced the development to the minimum, just to keep the game for a few more years alive. But quality and new features degraded the last years.
There made no events for a long time, they canceled the development of Battle Passes for Majors in favor of Dota+ (which squeezed more money from players, but offers literally nothing).
The game is full of bugs and boosters.
This is just one example of a Valve game. I am pretty sure TF2 and CS:Go people say the same from their game.
So I wouldn't spend too much money for it...

I would really give the game a try but the pricing model is simply greedy.
They could atleast have made the game free to play if you need to pay for tickets and booster packs.

I will definitaley not sink so much money into a Valve game, even though I really like to play Dota 2.
The thing is with Valve, you don't know when they will abandon the game support.

Maybe Artifact will be supported many years by Valve, so you get a lot of fun for your money.
Maybe Artifact will be left broken, bug ridden and with half-assed features like the other Valve games, like TF2, Dota2 or CS:Go.

Oh boy, Christmas comes early this year.
As an old-school rollercoaster tycoon fan (1&2 but not 3) I will finally get this.
I only waited for the campaign.
