### 5/5 — Great game with great community

*2026-07-30, version 0.999.59*

I’ve been playing for about 2 months now and the community is very active and helpful to new players. There are also various levels of strategy that can be used that slowly get more complex as you play further. It isn’t too overwhelming at the start and it hasn’t gotten stale as I’ve progressed further. Highly recommend to people who enjoy strategy games!
