How it feels
A brisk, cerebral race to build a space empire through card drafting and tableau building, where every decision feels like a calculated gamble.

What players say
Players praise this as a fast and faithful digital version of the board game, especially for solo play against a notably competent machine-learning AI that provides a real challenge. Opinions are split on the interface, with some calling the symbology cryptic and hard to parse, while others find it works well once learned.
