Ratings and reviews

It's a great game that you can play with others as well as the AI. Too many devs sacrifice AI opponents, but this is fine example of it working. You can play with other humans, a mix of human and MP, but if you're solo you can play the game as well as scenarios. If you enjoy strategy games driven by resources, opponents, and sometimes the randomness of card draws, give it go. It keeps track of a lot of things for you, unlike the board have, and the most aged thing is not a great tutorial.

Great digital implementation of the board game with solid AI and fun challenges. The tutorial is great and there's lots of replayability to be had. I've got at least a hundred hours of play so far and likely more to come. Definitely well worth the purchase! Edit: just got the expansion and boy was it worth it. This game definitely has legs. Still playing it two years later and certainly more in the future. Shout out to CGE for a terrific digital implementation of a classic game!

Now fixed! == This famous popular boardgame has been implemented almost perfectly! 1) Multiplayer online suffers from network problems 10--20% of the time, from timing bugs to showstopping crashes. 2) Although a surprising amount of information has been squeezed onto handset, this game would be better suited for tablet with large screen. 3) Most negative reviewers complain that the AI opponent is too hard. Of course, this difficult strategy game has a steep learning curve but is quite rewarding!
