Card Tier List – New “App” Version

Leave a reply

There is a new version of the Megahaulin Card Tier “App”. The old URL no longer works.

The new APP can be accessed HERE.  All of the Megahaulin blog pages that linked to the app have been updated with the new URL.

If you didn’t know there was an “app”, now you do! If you use the Megahaulin Card Tier List, we had created a quick access “app” you can save to your phone/tablet (or access via a browser on your computer).  Here are a few screenshots.

To install on your phone, simply click this link on your phone, which will open it in your phone’s browser. A prompt should appear for you to Install the app, click “Install” and it will add the icon tot he home screen. If “Install” prompt does not appear, open your browser settings and choose the “Add to Home screen” option.

Why do I keep putting “app” in quotes? Because it’s not actually an “app”; you can’t find it in the app store. But it’s designed for phones.  You can save it to your home screen so it opens on your phone like an app.

Suggestions for features for the “app”?  Let us know in the comments below.

NOTE: this “app” is hosted by Glide, which has some limitations so not all your suggestions may be possible. If you’re aware of a better (and free) place to host this info, let us know!

Stay tuned for an updated list with High Alert Invasion and First Strike!

Stellar Link? More like Stellar Not!

Ok, Stellar Link isn’t that bad, except when it is. I have found Stellar Link to be the only Tech card that, when used, might turn on you. My therapist said I should write about it, so here I am.

I previously published the article, “Tech Support“, describing my initial thoughts about the Tech expansion and each of the individual Tech cards. I had mostly nice things to say about Stellar Link. Then Stellar Link turns around and stabs me in the back. I guess 2 Trade isn’t enough to secure its loyalty and affection…I digress.

Tech Support: An Introduction to the Newest Card Type

2 Replies

Star Realms High Alert introduces a new card type: Tech. In this article we’ll discuss this new card type generally, and then each Tech card individually.

High Alert introduces 10 different Tech cards (8 from the Tech set, and 2 more from the Kickstarter-exclusive First Strike set).

Tech Rules

Tech cards are shuffled into the trade deck and included among the cards available to purchase from the trade row.

Like Heroes, when you purchase a Tech card it goes directly into play. Unlike Heroes, a Tech card is not scrapped when used. Instead, the card stays in play for the remainder of the game; you can use each Tech card’s ability once per turn by paying the ability’s cost.
