May 2025

Great computer version of the board game. My only gripe, with the board game we usually play with gentlemen's agreement that some minor changes can be made during your turn. For instance, you actually wanted your mech to carry 3 workers instead of 2, or you wanted to trade for a different resource, or you place your Albion flag at the end of your turn. This version is much more rigid, which I both sort of like, sort of dislike. Just make sure you understand the order of how things go within this version, REALLY know what you want to do before hand, and live with the consequences... Minor thing in my opinion and this is a great game to play!

Great board game alternative. It can’t replace the physical one, but tbh physical copy doesn’t see much playtime due to complexity hurdle. Seen a lot of new players struggle with controlling their physical board and I taught them the digital version way quicker. If you like it and have enough people to play with, you will love the board game. If you love it and you don’t know enough people: bots and multiplayer solves that here. If you hate it: you didn’t waste as much money as for the physical one (which you can resell though ;) )

Fantastic board game. The digital edition is fun, but unforgiving. I bought it because I enjoy the board game so much and wanted to test myself against other ranked players--it's been fun! The mechanics of the app can be frustrating at times. But overall, would reccommend to anyone who likes strategy games.

After not getting along with playing this IRL (potentially due to tiredness and introversion) I decided to give the video game adaptation a whirl and yep, sorted me right out. I notice people seem to also get frustrated at the layout in the video game just as much as I initially did by the board game; once you've been patient in familiarising yourself with its functions it's brilliant, now I'm comfortable to keep playing and hope to retry the board game ASAP

Great implementation of the board game with a look and feel very close to the physical product. I found it pretty easy to pick up the UI, the online play seems to work well with the lobby system and the timers and the community has been friendly. A minor gripe with the UI is that it can be a little unforgiving in that certain actions (which don't actually reveal any information) cannot be undone, but I can understand why from a programming perspective those choices have been made that once you enter the next phase of your turn there's no going back (just takes some getting used to if you're an infrequent player)
