3. It's Exceptionally Challenging

Ask anyone who's played and they'll tell you, the struggle to not draw that third Blood Moon is pure anxiety-fuel. In ITV you play against the game itself and that makes for some incredibly challenging spells of play! Watch out for that Vortex Lightning!

1. Co-Operation is a Core Mechanic

Games where you're excepted to scheme & deceive your friends are a tab bit sociopathic. ITV is the antithesis of all that. Here, your friends aren't opponents, they are the magic. The game incentivizes working together, selflessly. Win or lose, you do it together.
