SexStone is a lewd “strategy card game” with a fantasy theme.

Note: this article is a FRACTION of the full review. To read the whole article (including commentary and ratings), be sure pay my site a visit.

Gameplay
Deal as much damage as possible with two rounds of randomized hands and turn-by-turn gameplay. Each player has two “rows” where they may place cards. The row in which you play cards will affect the way they deal and take damage. You must play a card every turn, until both players have no more cards to play. Then if it’s not already “round two”, both players redraw their hands. The goal of the game is complete “round two” with the highest point total. Each card you place on the board (or in Magic terms, each permanent) is worth a point. Each point of damage you deal is worth points, and each creature (I’m sorry, “organic [[i]sic[/i]]”) is worth a designated amount of points when destroyed. There are three major card types; “attackers” deal damage, “healers” restore hit-points and “skills” are effectively more-powerful, single-use “attackers” and “healers”. Attackers either deal “melee” or “ranged” damage; melee damage can only be dealt to adjacent cards, and ranged damage can target any one row. Some attacks can target multiple adjacent cards, making them ideal for sweeping heavy board presences. To maximize your damage, it’s important to exploit your enemies’ weaknesses by avoiding “resistances”. It takes a hint of “wits and tactics” to win games of SexStone, but every game plays the same. There’s only one good way to play each card, and whoever draws the biggest bombs is sure to win by a landslide.

Sexual Content
The cards have boobs on them — poorly rendered boobs, might I add. Though you can’t spell “SexStone” without “sex”, there’s no sex to be seen. A few of the character models look decent, but most of them are uncanny women.

Verdict
I don’t recommend this game. Frankly, SexStone is a terrible card game with uneventful artwork. No matter the difficulty, every game plays the same; you whittle down your opponent before unleashing wave-after-wave of board-wipes. There are no interesting mechanics or interesting card synergies. You can’t build your own deck, and there are numerous cards that are strictly better than the next. In a good card game, every card has its place — in a game like SexStone, there are cards that might as well be automatic wins. Given the plays that are encouraged by the rules and mechanics, if you were to play against real players (as opposed to the “AI”), you wouldn’t know when to concede until they play their last few cards. It’d suck playing against people, because the winner would likely be determined by a few over-powered cards. There is no gallery or sexual content, and the nudity sucks. Unless you find yourself entranced by the riveting gameplay, there is no incentive to keep playing. It’s not like there there’s a story to unwind or “booster packs”. I sincerely hope Entropy Digital Entertainment makes good on their promise, “Check back regularly as new cards will be added and interesting and undiscovered characters and winning strategies will be revealed.” SexStone has the capacity to be an “easy to learn but hard to master” game; but it needs a lot of love (and love making) before anybody should try to learn and master.
