≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
Terra Mystica is a strategy game with a simple game principle and very little luck involved: You govern one of 14 factions trying to transform the Landscape on the game board in your favor in order to build your Structures. On the one hand, proximity to other players limits your options for further expansion, on the other hand though, it provides some benefits during the game. This conflict is the source of Terra Mystica's appeal.
Structures may be upgraded to provide even more resources, like Workers, Pries
The 14 artfully designed factions, each having unique special abilities, as well as the exchangeable bonus cards allow for a large number of possible game plays that constantly keep this game entertaining!

I loved the board game version of this and was excited to be able to play on my iPad. Even with knowing all of the game mechanics from the board game, this app has to be one of the least intuitive things I’ve ever used. Yes, it’s a complicated game with a lot going on, and that’s why I love it. But the layout and design of this app make it so hard to understand what is going on or what your next move could be.
