Hero Academy

I sit in front of my little iPad screen trying to think about what I will blog today. Elementary school, Middle school. Lost friends or family that have passed. All that comes to mind though, is the fact that I've used an inferno to take out a few of the opposing heroes, but I don't think it is enough. If I can get my ninja out, I need to make sure to use him well. Should I buy the packs for one of the new races? The dark elves look cool.

My thoughts are scattered.

See when I sat down to lunch, I thought I would take a turn or two of a new game my friend James introduced me to. Hero Academy. What I didn't consider was he would taking lunch at the same time, so, as quickly as I taking turns I have a new one waiting.

Fifteen, maybe twenty minutes pass. My soup is gone and my time is draining away. I should be blogging I thing. Blogging, kill that annoying wizard, my gamer half says. How about you blog about the game? I have peace with that.

It is simple, I start with an empty battle field. My heroes enter from one side, while James' will enter from the other side. These are played from your hand, a set of five options on the bottom of the screen. In addition to heroes, this area has potions, scrolls, swords and shield. My goal is to take out James crystals, before he takes out mine. Or kill all of his heroes, of course.

It seems too simple, doesn't it. The kind of thing you would play for a few minutes, then be done with it. It is not though. Once you get the basics, you begin to understand range, then positioning, Soon you are using the undo button to make sure you have made just the right move. The strategy piles on. This is like battle chess.

Why can't there be more time? Lunch us done, but my mind is still running. I have moves to make. Do you think anyone will notice of I schedule a meeting with a subject of stomping James' ninja?
