One of the reasons that video-game adaptations of these sorts of games are
so great is that the only money you spend is the $20-$50 on the game
itself...  Of course if successive versions are released, we all know how
that goes.  Still, there really isn't anything like playing a game with
physical pieces with a human sitting opposite you.

An average of $3 a piece may seem a little high, but do recall that you
use much fewer pieces in an army for Navia Dratp than you do cards in any
given CCG, meaning that in the long run you may spend less money to get a
'really good' set.  Of course, none of us knows until it's released.  I
suggest we all wait until then, and *then* start to bash the game's little
details.
