What players say

Players praise this as a faithful digital adaptation of a complex board game, with automated resource tracking and enforced rules being major upsides. However, several note that the interface hides key information that is visible on Board Game Arena, and the AI is beatable once learned. Players are split on whether the tutorial is adequate, and many are waiting for expansions.
