What Makes Fantasy Realms by WizKids Stand Out
As ruler, it’s up to you to build the mightiest realm in the world! Will you choose to follow military tactics and sweep away all in your path with a massive army? Will you turn towards sorcery and control an inaccessible island surrounded by impenetrable flames? The choice is yours, no two realms will ever be the same in Fantasy Realms.
Fantasy Realms takes seconds to learn: draw a card, discard a card. Though in this case you can draw from the deck or the discard area!

Community Insight:
We had never played this game before this app. Its super easy to learn, and a game plays in just a few minutes, so its perfect on a work break. We like the different modes. The UI is easy, the card designs are cool. Theres enough depth to keep it interesting, but not so much that its overwhelming, so its good for casual gamers as well as strategic players. We have found one bug: our scores in solo mode dont save properly in the solo leaderboard. Itll record an incorrect (even negative) number, but then disappear and not even show a solo score. Scores do properly save in the game against AI though, so thats good. Not a huge deal, but this should be fixed. Like another reviewer said, the UI is a little clunky. Its almost impossible to rearrange your hand. (Though you dont have to rearrange it to play, it would be nice to keep cards organized if you wish to.) The game is still playable though. We havent had issues drawing or discarding, you just have to hold and let go at the right time. We do wish you could just click to zoom instead of holding to zoom, so that your finger isnt covering parts of the card youre trying to read. If you could just click once to look at the card and then click away from it to make it zoom back, that would be better. Overall though this is a great game. Thank you developer for the fair premium price with no ads or IAP. Thats really appreciated. We highly recommend this game overall. Perfect for when you want a deck-building fix but dont have a lot of time. Lots of replayability here. Its a really fun game.
Game crashes a lot. Developer doesnt seem to care about it. Too bad.
Id call this a minimum viable product, not very lovable. The interaction animations are clunky, the sounds are awful. Some card effects are just broken. (Necromancers end of game bonus.) If you are desperate to play FR digitally, this is it, but it doesnt inspire fun enough to want to keep playing. Its more an exprience to tolerate than enjoy.
Constantly crashing and glitching out. For a relatively simple game, the lack of stability is frustrating.
We love the card game in-person and was excited to play on app. Unfortunately, the AI takes about 60 seconds or so to play and we have the latest updates. Basically useless.
We love the card game, but the app is too clunky. Its too easy to discard a card by accident. Its too hard to rearrange your hand. Even drawing a card is not as smooth as one would expect. It really ruins the playing experience. We hope the developers will keep improving this app.
Our partner and we play this card game all the time. We were hoping for a digital version we could play together, as well as a solo mode. Unfortunately, this app just isnt there yet. So many issues/glitches, its basically useless. We hope this app gets the overhaul this game deserves! (At least make the offline scoring usable!).
