How it feels

You feel like a corporate CEO meticulously planning and competing to reshape a barren world through careful resource management and long-term strategy.

What players say

Players find it a faithful but buggy version of the board game, with crashes and UI issues that occasionally break turns. Many appreciate the convenience and speed compared to the physical game, but some criticize the AI's illogical decisions and the lack of a true solo mode.
