The game incorporates some dopamine manipulation through variable rewards from card packs and limited-time events, which could encourage extended play. While there are no direct monetization risks, the competitive nature and social features like challenging friends and leaderboards could lead to social comparison and mild social obligation. Connecting to Facebook also carries privacy implications.
