What players say
Players praise it as a faithful digital version of the ancient game that even prompted some to buy a physical board. The workshop and custom maps are popular, though a few wish for bigger board sizes in the editor. Gameplay is smooth but pieces lack movement animation, making it easy to miss opponent moves.
