Great game love both the board game and the digital edition. I wish the expansions we're playable, DLC or free. My only complaint for the implementation of the game is the UI is a bit clunkey with multiple confirms for some actions.

Fun Fact: The original working title for this game was Constantinople. You see... Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Now its Turkish delight on a moonlit night Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople So if you've a date in Constantinople She'll be waiting in Istanbul.

It's 2024, and I'm still loving this game. Great implementation of an already great board game that just flows smoothly. Everything is intuitive after a handful of plays. I would love to see some expansions in 2024, at least the two main ones (Coffee, Letters) from the physical "Big Box" edition. Any expansion would be an immediate purchase for me, and I'll bet a lot of others, given the number of 5-star reviews I see here!

Good Digital version of a very nice board game. The option to have a differently structured board makes every game different and encourages to develop new strategies. Great job!

Terrible UX on mobile. There are some real easy wins which could make this better to use. One: don't keep flashing that current action text. It's annoying an unecessary when you're trying to think. Two: the cards are tiny enough as it is. Why on earth would you cover the bottom 5th of the screen with a dark gradient as a background for that flashing text which doesn't even consume the gradient? Please ditch the flashing text and make the gradient sensible or removable on mobile.

Suddenly my app becomes the beta version and cannot continue playing my current online session ? The app says beta version cannot play online.

Can't register for online, not idea what's going on. I try and sing up with my email, and it says email not available. Then try Facebook, and it says it's not available. How do I play online?

I love this game. You must have an eye for detail. Which makes it disappointing when the designer miss some basics. I just played a game where when the second AI comes into a sector and doesn't give me 2 monies. Some of the select options should be more user-friendly. Take for example the smuggler: pick a good then click take then select a good to discard then click to discard. Why not select what u want and what you give an away with 1 button confirmation? Another silly 1 is the 0 move
