What players say

Players say this is a fast, easy-to-learn card-driven board game port, but many find the theme poorly connected to the mechanics and the outcome too dependent on luck. Reviews split on whether the AI is fair or biased toward the Union, and the multiplayer matchmaking is reportedly empty.
