I love the game, but it can be hard to find a game and play it through. Playing with friends is the best though.

The best implementation of any board game I've seen on steam yet. If you enjoy the board game, this is a must-have. If you don't know the rules beforehand it can be difficult to grasp some of the mechanics learning the digital version first, but the payoff is there if you are willing to put in the effort.

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.
