I really tried to understand how it works. Took me a while to see that you have to slap reveal card on top of the card that is played to see. Targeting that card is so hard sometimes that it didn't work first few times and even after I learned how it supposed to work - it was hard to apply reveal on cards. Especially on stacked ones.
I don't know what arrows on card spots mean. I figured it must be some other sort to show that enemy using cards there, but you unable to reveal it... but I still had been pecked with those slots blocked by cards.
Speaking of... it felt that I had to counter enemy peck with move and peck in blanks, but... again - there was random damage almost all the time and I couldn't quite figure out how to avoid it completely.
It felt that whole revealing play was hurting the system. If you have no reveals you know nothing about how to counter it and even then - empty slots still did damage sometimes, so there was that.
Idea of a chicken tournament was nice. I just wish I could understand what is going on better. I couldn't beat last chicken that has massive ammount of hp, but I think I've beat all the others and it still was showing me as rank 10 (didn't quite change on several chicken fights for some reason though).
