General

Steam isn't loading the game properly for me..

Is this pay to win?
No. You can buy club membership (and thank the devs for the game), which gives you one more reward item for most campaign chests. But you can play for free as long as you like.
The primary things that you can pay-to-unlock in this game are cosmetics and extra single player content [see Pizza, below]- nothing that would count as pay-to-win.



Renown?
You get Renown one of two ways, depending on if you prefer PvE or PvP play. Only the best of the two will be used:
1: Your renown is equal to the highest adventure level you've completed. So if you've beaten a level 7 adventure, your renown will be 7.
2: You get 1 renown per 3 PvP wins.

In addition to certain renown-unlocked features, renown's primary function is adjusting purchase prices of items in stores.
The closer your renown is to the level of the item in question, the better deal you'll get from the store.


Pizza?
Pizza is the premium currency in the game.
You don't have to use it when prompted to in the campaign, so try and save it up till you know what you want!
Typically pizza is primarily used to unlock expansion content and cosmetics, but there are a variety of uses for it!

Multiplayer

When can I play co-op?
Just complete the tutorial missions! Once you see 'The Wizard's Workshop' available to play, you're out of the tutorial!

How can I play co-op?
Once you've completed the tutorial missions, the 'co-op' icon will show in the top left of the campaign screen. You can click that to host, and then go to the multiplayer screen and click on people's names to invite them to your group!
[Please ASK if they want to join first, though, blind-inviting might get you added to ignore lists!]
To join a co-op group, just have someone invite you (as per above), or if searching for a group to join, ask if anyone is hosting in the multiplayer chat!

How many players can play co-op?
Up to 3!
If you play with 2, you each draw an additional card per turn, to make up for the loss of the 3rd player.


I have more questions about co-op..
http://www.cardhunter.com/2015/07/ganging-up-on-gary-cooperative-card-hunter can answer many of your questions! Let us know if there's anything it doesn't answer!


Co-op? No way, I want the PvP! How do I get that?
Once you get Renown 5 (see above section on Renown) you unlock a free multiplayer party.
You'll be able to PvP then!

Explain Multiplayer Modes.
Ranked Match gives you rewards and improves your multiplayer ranking.
League matches give you league rewards AND count toward Ranked Match rewards- but not ranking.
Casual matches are great for playing custom map setups and team-based modes, but provide no rewards or ranking changes.

Won't I get smashed in multiplayer?
Not necessarily. You should get matched up with players around your level, most of the time. A lot of league games feature fixed decks, i.e. both players have the same deck. Then the only advantage is experience ... and the way the cards fall.

Items and Equipping Characters

When can I sell items?
Renown 7!
(See above for explanation on Renown)

Power Tokens? What are those?
the green and orange spheres next to an item. are power tokens. You'll unlock them (first blue, then orange ones) as your characters level up in single player.
Multiplayer parties are always locked to level 18 characters, and thus always have exactly 4 of each power token type (to keep everyone in pvp balanced in power).

All legendary items are much better than the common and uncommons, right?
Not entirely true. Most legendaries and epics are all-around good items, but some are far less useful for typical party setups.
Some common and uncommon items are far more generally useful, and are used all the time by experienced players. See Bejewelled Shortsword.

What's the quickest way to get good items?
Play through the single player campaign to improve your play style. Then jump into multiplayer- pvp gives very good reward drops.

There are leagues every day that cost 50gp to enter - but the minimum reward is 3 gold chests, each of which contains at least one rare item.
You don't even have to play any matches to get the chests!

Doing the Loot Fairy run twice a day in single player or searching out the Hidden Bandit can give you access to rarer items, or treasure items, respectively.

Finally, if you're more a single-player/co-op type of player, the Card Hunter Club will give you an extra item drop per map completed in single player.
