(Translated from French)Finally, I must acknowledge I was surprised by Star Chamber: The Harbinger Saga. The play succeeds in mixing much strategy into a card deck as well as an interesting universe... In short, if you seek a turn based strategy mixed with a Magic style card deck, this game is an excellent choice.

In the end, The Harbinger Saga is a solid strategy game with a lot of flexibility and a wide variety of scenarios. It is definitely something to look into if you are a turn-based fan...

Heaven Games Review
Then I found “Star Chamber: The Harbinger Saga”. I've heard about it before from a friend (who is also a hardcore RTS player) and kinda glanced over it a little without much thought if I would play it or not, as I didn't really care for an online card game... luckily I gave it a second chance and downloaded it. I played a bit and now I'm hooked.

Like any strategy game worth its salt, the more you play the game the more you appreciate its complexities.... there's a decent amount of [single player] content to sink your teeth into, which is always pleasing.
