Sharing is caring: SolForge getting new expansion, allowing card sharing

It's always more fun to share with every...one person.

It’s always more fun to share with every…one person.

SolForge is like the older kid who’s been playing football for years, but has to sit on the bench while their little brother plays varsity quarterback. Here they are, about to release their fourth major influx of cards to the SolForge universe as well as introducing some major innovations to the genre, but Hearthstone is out there strutting it’s stuff and getting all the plaudits.

Let’s try to even out the scales. Tomorrow, SolForge is getting its fourth influx of cards when the Imprisoned Heralds set goes live. This set will introduce the titular heralds which are new cards that can change type mid-game. For example, a card might be a staff at level 1 and 2, but when it hits level 3 it turns into a rampaging dragon. The expansion also includes two new mechanisms: upgrade and assault. Upgrade will let a creature gain traits left behind by other creatures in the same lane. Assault awards creatures for fighting, and gives a bonus to creatures placed in lanes that are empty.

If that were all we were getting tomorrow, that would be pretty cool. It’s not. Stone Blade is updating SolForge tomorrow to include card sharing. You’ll be able to share any card that you can purchase for gold, and you’ll be able to share it with anyone in your Friends List while retaining a copy of it yourself. The restriction is that you can only share each card once, so pick your friends wisely.

SolForge is downloadable for free for Android and PC, but the iOS version has been pulled from the App Store until the update goes live tomorrow. SolForge trailer after the break.
