what this game like

Since no one really replied to your question (skittles, yes yes), it's basically a trading card board game. The best way to put it is a cross between Monopoly and Magic the Gathering.

It's like Monopoly in that you roll dice, move your piece onto land, and have the option to acquire that land. The land is also upgradeable. If an enemy ends up on your land, they have to pay resources to you, which helps you to acquire or upgrade more land. Reach a certain minimum and you win the game.

But the catch is that you acquire land by casting creature cards and having them occupy those land spaces. Land and creatures are colored. Sticking a blue creature on blue land will net defensive bonuses. Having your own creatures on adjacent pieces of land will net offensive bonuses. So when an opponent lands on your space, he can cast a creature card to fight your creature for one round. If you kill his card in that one round, his card is destroyed. If neither is killed in one round, the card goes back to his hand, but he has lost the casting cost. Both of these cases result in him losing resources for landing on your space. But if he manages to kill you in that one round, he now becomes the owner of your land.

That's basically the gist of it. There is a lot more to it because in addition to creature cards, you have all kinds of spell cards, and offense/defense boosters. There's also non-land squares you can land on with different effects. Plus every stage's board layout and resource goal is different as well.

You begin the game with a certain pool of random cards. From there, as you play matches, you receive more. If you win a match, you receive more cards than if you lost it... but either way, you still gain cards when you complete a
match. You can customize your deck anytime.

There's a lot of strategy to Culdcept, and it's just plain fun. Culdcept II on Dreamcast/PS2 had an online component too, but the US version stripped that out. So Culdcept Saga will be the first US Culdcept game with online play. <3

No. Nocturne was asking, "What DOES this game like?" I believe Skittles is the only acceptable answer.

I like skittles too.
