I would suggest a different name for the game since when people think of barcraft they think of all the StarCraft watching events held in bars all across the world..

As I said on sc2mapster thread, Zeratul seems a bit imba? If he gets lucky he can 3-4 damage someone in 1 turn.

Are there any plans to allow deck building in the future?

You could let ppl choose a few cards, just like you pick 1 out of 2 Heroes?

Played about 10 games, alot of 5v5/6v6's so got a very good feel of the game.

- Leavers - Please make the comp AI take over. If not the game is seriously Ruined!!
- Range Equips There are way too many 'increased your bash range' equip cards. It's boring drawing card after card of the same thing. Cut it down and make more fun and varied cards.
- End Game - Once the game gets too 1v1, it really really draaaaaaaaags out. After 3 turns, players should start to loose 1 life at the end of their turn? To speed it up.

Another thing, s Heroes are great some can be pretty terrible:

- Grom Hellscream, his ability is too much, whenever he's in the game, a player always abuses it to draws 10 cards and try to 1 shot kill the opponent, it either works or fails and the game quickly ends. It's not fun at all! - Instead:

Battle Hunger - Once per turn, target players looses 1 life but draws 2 cards.

- Zeratul, there is already a card for his ability. It's silly and is either completely imbalanced or useless (once he runs low on cards). - Instead:

Stealth Attack - Once in his turn, a bash card used by him cannot be dodged

I have some card and heroes ideas, but I'll let you respond to this first, then post them if you reply

Been playing it more and more I've started to get a group who play it regularly

Definetly the 2 biggest problems are those constant +Bash range equipment cards over and over. It's boring!!! And also the huge luck factor in some cards. Russian Roullette can just ruin the game completely.

I'd say keep Vulture, Cruiser, the one that allows unlimited Bashes and replace all the other ones. Chair, Que, Dart board etc. the game would be much more fun.

1) I'll try to give good workable equipment alternatives.

Mule - Equipment - You draw an extra card during your draw phase. (Stacks with any other drawing Hero abilities).
Science Vessel - Equipment - All other players cards in their hands become visible to you.
Siege Tank - Equipment - You may Blast someone once during your turn, if so you cannot play a Bash card that turn. This cannot be dodged. This has unlimited range.
Spider Mine - Equipment - If a Player Bashes you succesfully, he will take 1 damage. Doing so destroys this equipment card.
Morphling Equipment - Gain target Heroes special ability. If that Hero dies this card is automatically destroyed. (Cannot target self).

Other cards:

Sneak Attack - When another player is successufuly Bashed outside of your turn. You may play this card to deal 1 extra damage to the player Bashed
Bar Brawl - Every player may choose to take 1 damage and Bash someone.
Mojito Cocktail - You gain 2 life, or target dieing player gains 2 life. Every other player draws a card. (If you save someone both you and him will not gain a card).

2) It's a bit silly how some cards are just MUCH better than others, like the draw 3 cards, you get that it can be a game winner.. Atleast balance it.

Buy 1 get 1 free - draw 2 cards - this is fine
Lucky Lottery (Forgot name) - Change it too - Discard whole hand and then draw 3 cards OR draw 3 cards, you must discard whole hand at end of turn.
Roullette - This card is way to strong, it literally can change the game making people very angry myself included. Please limit the damage down to 2. Or if a player goes to -2, make it always just -1, so a beer can save him. Atleast then it won't be as devastating.
