How it feels

A timeless, turn-based strategy game that feels calm and intellectual as you methodically outmaneuver your opponent.

What players say

Players praise the clean presentation and decent customization of board and pieces, but mention minor translation issues and a first launch that starts a match without warning. Some players note the AI plays well at lower levels but can make unforced errors. The puzzles are liked, though a player wishes they were deeper.
