Grannies

Purchase the Grannies Faction on Forgefire!

Everybody loves grandma! And grandma loves you, let me find something in my bag here for you... Grannies keep close tabs on the family, even if that family includes dinosaurs or zombies! They always know who’s coming and going, and that slight busybody-ness can come in incredibly handy when planning your strategies for smashing bases.

Grannies are from the What Were We Thinking? set and have a Titan card - Great Grandma.

Complexity Level: Medium-High
Mechanics
  • Arranging Cards On The Top Or Bottom Of The Deck
  • Rewards For Sorting Your Deck

Grannies focus on sorting your deck and drawing/playing cards from your deck if your deck is correctly sorted.

There are mainly two kinds of cards in the Grannies faction. Those that help you check and/or sort the top and bottom of your deck, and those that check the top or bottom of your deck and give you an advantage if the right type of card is present, usually the drawing of the card and/or playing it as an extra card.

Regarding how to sort your deck correctly, Grannies like when actions are present on top of your deck and minions are present on the bottom.
