How it feels
A competitive digital board game that feels like a cute but cunning war of attrition in a woodland setting.

What players say
Players call it a faithful digital version that teaches the board game well, but say it is very complex and punishing for newcomers. The asymmetric factions are the draw, though some find the balance questionable and the multiplayer plagued by desync and limited lobby options.
