    Since I know folks keep asking about this, I wanted to offer that playing campaign on an HP Stream 7 hasn't been a terrible experience.

    Any Windows 8+ tablet should do Flash just fine, though there probably aren't really any worth paying for at the moment except the Stream 7 ($100).

    It's a little wonky since you can't trigger hover effects, but otherwise it all just works as you would expect.

    edit: or apparently it's $79 on sale at the MS online store right now, plus $25 app credit

    That's cool neon!

    I'd still like to play Card Hunter on a galaxy tablet. Curse you flash player!

    Any chance someone could tweak card hunter to work on Flash Player 11? Or vice versa?

    Ah, no worries. I'm looking at that Stream 7 now.

    Wait. Hover effects don't work on tablets? Should I switch out of my volcano deck?

    I assume he meant mouseover tooltips, not Hover.

    I have used a flash based browser to limited effect on my ol' Asus A500.
    The lag was significant but some of that was due to a lack of processing power.
    The browser I used is called Puffin (there is a free version available I think the full is like $3).

    I would be curious to see how this would work on a more powerful tablet, as the lag ranged from broken (slow plus inconsistent 4G connection) to slow (good enough for SP but would drive an MP opponent nuts). The hardest things was altering builds. They do have a mouse-like tool but I couldn't use in game.
     
  6. It's playable in Puffin on my iPad Air. (Over WiFi...I don't have the 4G model so can't speak to that.) It's no speed demon, and the lower resolution can be awkward on large maps, but it could be a lot worse.
