If playing with expansion cards, you are matched with players that also have them.

There is an included single player mode where the player faces off against the CPU.

Players can play a multiplayer game locally using a single device by passing the device between the two players for each ones turn. This makes for an easy way to duel when only one device is around.

Bases are permanent cards on the playing field that each player needs to try and destroy but giving that there is a choice each turn to hit a base or the players ships, it becomes a juggling act of what takes priority to destroy.

There is no way for the player to know what will be in their hand or what they will eventually be able to purchase, making for every game being unpredictable.
