A high functioning adaption of an already incredible board game. This is a must buy if you already like ark nova and have friends who'd play with you online. My group argues constantly about whether or not this actually plays better than the over the table version, and I think there's a strong argument to be made that it does. Having the computer track every little stray point or bit of money earned is so handy, and I think all the UI is well designed. Overall there's not much to complain about, except maybe the long turn timer being overly harsh and playing repeatedly for every player regardless of who triggers it. If you haven't played ark nova before, my recommendation still stands, with the caveat that this is a fairly complex game. There's a lot to learn, and even with experienced players often take 90+ minutes. That complexity pays off in a big way as there is so much strategy to this game, I really feel like I'm always learning something. If you like a board game you can really sink your teeth into, or play a lot of Magic the Gathering I really can't recommend this game enough
The game is fun. I enjoy the boardgame more but the only issue I have is that the game is NOT complete. If you have played Ark Nova, you know how fun and intricate the game can be. Yet, the game has A SINGLE expansion. That expansion ADDS a TON of stuff to the game that makes the game better. My biggest issue is that when I play the boardgame with the expansion and all the marvelous greatness that it is and then i come to play this game it just feels incomplete. If you have not played with the expansion, you are missing out.
