Steam says this is not supported on Steam Deck... but it runs absolutely perfectly with no issues at all. I'm playing this before the Scythe board game that I ordered arrives to get the hang of playing it. Tutorial does a decent enough job of getting you started, lost first game to easy bot and I wasn't really sure why. 2nd game I beat easy bot, 3rd game it 'clicked' and I beat a normal bot. So for getting to know the game it's very good. It's also a fun game anyway, even if you don't fancy getting the boardgame. This game also runs on the Steam Deck just fine. It also runs on a 9 year old MacBook I have which I wasn't expecting.

It's just easier than playing the boardgame against yourself or the automa. By that I mean, theres no clean up or shuffling units around the board. It's better in person, but this will do. It's a great boardgame and this version does it justice. No airships... thats fine, they were fun but made for quick games. The music is great. Crimea 100%.

One of the best designed board games I've ever played. 9/10. My only complaint is that without the modular board, the games can become kind of stale after many many plays. But I'm still having plenty of fun having played dozens upon dozens of matches, from 2 players all the way to 7.

I bought this game so that I could practice in preparation to play live, with friends and a table-top board, We had been spending an hour+ each time re-reading the rules. I play in solitaire mode, i.e. me against robot players. Mission accomplished; now i understand the game mechanics and can focus on strategy. I may crush my friends when next we play. Well, sorry guys; that's the advantage of preparation. Criticisms - the robots are not clever. To win against 4 robots on Hard mode, I have to be efficient, but by no means brilliant. I don't have to pay attention to what they are doing. - it's a bit buggy, especially when combining special cases in one turn. For instance, if you take the Factory by combat with your hero, you might not get a Factory card, and once you've missed that first shot, you can leave and come back to the Factory and you still won't get a card. This might have been fixed recently; I'm not sure. Bottom line: - it's absolutely good enough to be fun and to practice game mechanics - The speed at which you can move through the game makes it much easier to see the cumulative effects of your actions and hone your strategy

Top tier. As someone who own the physical version of the game the digital edition is very well executed, it adds so much depth when playing by yourself and the AI bots are much better than playing the automa on the physical board. The layout is clean and fairly easy to understand, and the tutorials are really helpful to those first starting out. The one negative thing is that when someone places their last star and one of the actions they did would give you a star it just doesn't give the star to you but it doesn't happen often enough for it to be a major concern. Overall it is a great game and I would highly recommend it to people who have played Catan or risk.
