Incredible implementation, got rid of my physical copy, this is much easier to manage and goes much faster.

In one word: great! Basically Civilization in a card game, where all the upkeep involved with boardgames is done for you. Many thoughtful things such as reminding you when you can do an action a different way, and being able to undo all actions you took this turn so you can freely experiment. I'm a player who usually skips tutorials, selects hard mode and has fun, but I knew from playing lots of boardgames that this game could be hard so I followed the tutorial. I don't think I've ever seen a better tutorial than this one, especially knowing this is regarded as a complex game. It is easy to forget that, the tutorial is thát good (and funny!). Then I started up a game and selected difficulty. Being cautious, I selected easy. There's an even easier setting where your opponent gets one less action per round but I don't want to cheat against the easy opponent! I have been getting kicked for 6 hours by the easy difficulty. I almost win, but never actually do. I LOVE it. You can see what the opponent does and learn from that (I can recommend going through real pain by selecting hard and seeing how they beat the . out of you). There is no cheating involved, even on hard! Maybe I'm just bad at this game, but it's a fantastic brainburner and really well implemented. If you're on the fence, just go get it.

Fantastic digital implementation of a board game that really works well played async, so perfect for those of us that have little possibility to dedicate time to play a "live" game (though the app supports this too) It does not hurt that the board game is also one of the best of all time :-)

It takes about 20 games to really appreciate what this game is about. If you can get through the learning curve of not just mechanics but the options for different strategy choices, it begins to shine.

Best board game in my opinion and this digital implementation is just excellent. For those who are new - there is perfect tutorial that teaches game rules. game is very deep and if You buy this - make sure You buy also expansion with New Leaders and wonders. It just makes each game super unique and there is always new things to explore. Game with big depth of tactic and strategy! Big online community - this year there is official world championship that has more than 1100 players online! Great community, any errors or problems that You have - support team from CGE resolves very fast and accurate. Many other online Leagues and tournaments. But if You are not interested in online play - there are a lot of challenges in game to try and master. There are easy ones but are quite hard ones which even some experienced players struggle to achieve. Absolutely worth the money!
