Thanks for the feedback!
While not perfect, the bot is not random either (other than the first turn as there is no historical data to base its choice on).
If you could, would you mind filling this survey out for me as well? Thanks!

It's playable in browser and features local multiplayer (Just don't peak when it isn't your turn!)
It is too much of a guessing game right now.
I had originally thought the strategy would come from trying to anticipate the opponent's choice and deciding whether or not to just go for direct damage or attempt to chase a special effect.
The AI is built to rank it's choices based on past outcomes. So it doesn't just choose randomly (other than the first move.)
Thanks for playing!

Plan of Attack is a game where you get one card and it's not how beefy the card is, it's how you use it that counts.

Sure!
And maybe this is because I am familiar with games similar to this one, but the ramp up time for Blastsmith to become challenging for me took about five minutes. I think this game could benefit from a small difficulty spike early on (like right after the first weapon is handed in), just something that lets the player know what obstacles will be coming if they continue to play.
It's pretty good! I like the idea of having to associate a nonsense word to a shape and have to keep that mental dictionary in mind while processing other beings. The way that only one of the object is presented when it is introduced (not sure if that was intentional) is a good way of introducing each object. If anything, it could use a good in game tutorial.
Adding yours to my collection for tonight.
