Unlike some other games, you do not need to spend a whole days working at a map; sometimes a half hour is enough, leaving you time to play another round or just to avoid the necessity of trying to cram two hours of sleep before the morning alarm clock. There are many modes to try; I particularly like the Hegemony battles - not because I always win but because I sometimes don't although I wish there were a forum for each of the various civilisations (factions) so that I could see if there are other players that consistently favour one or some civs over others rather than just wondering if folks are merely jumping onto the bandwagon of the one leading faction.. The developers are good at staying on top of the little issues.

It's Civ blended with a deckbuilder, and it works remarkably well. Unlike Civ, a game is easily complete-able, with most full runs taking way less than an hour, as opposed to actual Civ where most players never even see the end game. It plays a lot nippier than a full 4X, with almost no micromanagment, and that's much to it's benefit. Downsides? It doesn't have the legs of Civ - after a while you figure out your early-game tactics, and it can become a little rote, but it's still punchy enough to be enjoyable for a quick blast of 4X goodness. Highly recommended.

Honestly, it's like the developers took the opposite route from Firaxis -- to the game's benefit. Games are short, the mechanics are simple and easy to learn, and it's *fun*. The opposite of Civ VI.

This is a recommendation to give the dev money for making a game that delivers on the premise. This is not a recommendation that the game will last for you. I'm probably going to play for a bit longer just because it helps pass time in a turn based casual way (something I need at times), but overall I'm getting bored of it after only 15 hours. The game works as a paired down 4x, the deckbuilding works in that each tech card adds cards to your deck and you can burn any cards from your deck you don't want. Burning cards removes them from the deck, but prevents their unique benefits long-term. So burn things you don't want, or that won't be as useful for the sake of gaining momentum on that turn to do something you couldn't otherwise do. There are a few different objectives selected (mostly) at random for a match. Things like get enough vp, have enough special hexes, total control, etc. And you will always win with total elimination or max vp. These are not things that randomly change values or shape - you will get the set objective for a match and decide how you will pursue one of the 3 main objectives (special or 2 standards) The biggest contributor to me getting bored is that the tech tree is the same every game. Each faction has a couple unique cards and ability. These do play a small role in the overall match-up, but once you know the tech progressions and cards, your goal is to pick your upgrade path to provide you the tools you need to get and defend the objective. Since there are few differences between the factions, the main meat of the game is that static tech tree. You will end up playing very similarly every game. Yes, you will make adjustments to get benefits out of each faction, but it isn't enough of a difference for me. After a few dozen games, I find myself just doing the same things over and over with some variation of "need harbor to extend - rush harbor and trash X path. Focus on naval control so rush range coast support and boats, prioritize capture unit as X." then you just do that. So there's a small amount of planning and then just execute that plan while adapting in small ways ("oh I'm getting pressure, put a unit for defense"). You can buy draws with money, can get money fairly easily in mid game so that you can effectively sell resources and draw most of your deck every turn. Early game this limits you, but later on you are practically unlimited. I usually end up with my whole hand every turn within a dozen turns or so and then it's just attrition and map control. Some of that is interesting for a while, on paper it is exactly as advertised. This isn't a case where the game fails to deliver on short 4x with deck building, but it is a case where there isn't enough meat to chew on. It's more of an appetizer. I'm not upset that I paid for it, it does what it promises. It just ends up being a lesser version of both parts and now I'm getting bored. If the exact promise of the game excites you and you're the type of person that likes doing (mostly) the same thing for every session, feel free to toss the dev a few coins and enjoy. If you are looking for something that will satiate your desire to combine a 4x with a deck builder and have some real strategy to dig into, I doubt this will give you what you're looking for.

This game is a lite 4x experience. The average game lasts less than an hour, your options are narrowed down to cards drawn, and there are plenty of routes to victory. My time to be able to play 4x games are long behind me, and this was a nice breath back into the genre. Each game I played was short and sweet!
