Amazing game

I am impressed - well thought out, designed and executed game.

It was fairly intuitive to get a hang of without reading through the manual, but then I realized there’s much more to it that I’ve missed. I’ve enjoyed it!

If you could add bots to the game that would be amazing , so that I could play a game quickly when there’s no other players in a lobby. Thanks for considering

Thanks so much for your positive review! We will definitely take a look at your idea: playing a game against bot opponents. Look for that in a new release coming soon. You can follow the release announcements at novagame.app
