Hello friends and future friends! Welcome to the tavern. I have a game alert today!
Stoneblade Entertainment is releasing a new game soon. It's called SolForge fusion! It's a card game where two players battle for control. It's a hybrid deck game created by Richard Garfield (creator of Magic the Gathering) and Justin Gary (creator of Ascension Deckbuilding game). Here's the info for a quick glance.

Originally SolForge was a computer game. It was canceled but has come back in card game form! Like the excellent Keyforge, decks are procedurally generated. So no two are alike. However unlike Keyforge you aren't stuck completely without deckbuilding. You get two halves of decks in SolForge and mash them together to make a complete deck.
Thematically the game is set on the frozen world of Solace. The world was threatened by a cataclysm so the inhabitants built the SolForge. The SolForge is a massive structure that imbues the world with a magical sun energy. You take the role of one of the Forgeborn. Beings imbued with magical powers by the SolForge itself. Choose your Forgeborn and battle for control!
I have tried out the game on Tabletop Simulator. And you can too for free! So here's the pros and cons I see so far:
PROS
1. Procedurally generated. So no one can net deck.
2. Rules are simple but strategy is deep. Draw 5 cards, play one, pass. Play another, pass. Then you battle. Straight and to the point! Lanes in the game make it simple to learn as well.
3. Organized Play! Going to be supported tournament wise!
4. Pre-sales are going well so from the start the game will be supported.
CONS
1. Generic fantasy theme might turn some off.
2. Will it fall into the Keyforge trap of burning out early?
I personally want to check this game out. Looks amazing. And I wanted to alert everyone if you want to get in on the ground floor. So check it out!
Also stay tuned for more gaming tavern content!
