User reviews

Great adaptation, but wish it could get exps. as well

They did a good job with the interface, along with a very good AI difficulties (from challenging, to easy). Performance is good too (iPad Air 1st gen, and 9th gen baseline). REALLY wish expansions (along their optional modules too really) could get implemented since they really round out the design space, replay ability, and fun factor.

I wish they had the expansions!!!!

A good port or an all time favorite. I typically play quick games against the AI and love this game.

A lot of fun when it doesnโ€™t crash

This is a great strategy game, but itโ€™s hard for me to recommend it since every time I start winning, the game crashes on me. (Playing on iPad mini A17 Pro - your results may vary.)

Still no Ambition

Itโ€™s unfortunate that we still havenโ€™t seen the promo pack or Ambition expansion. Theyโ€™ve been โ€œcoming soonโ€ since the app released. Iโ€™d engage with the app much more frequently if the expansions were available

Awesome and waiting for the extension

Excellent game and great restitution of the board game version.
The graphics and music are on point.

The only problem is that the extension still isnโ€™t availableโ€ฆ
