Great game and lots of fun. You need a good amount of time to dedicate to it (Checking on progress every hour for 10 days +) and patients, because some of the moce you make take days. But if you enjoy your strategy games with a bit of networking, we'll worth a go.

By far the best strategy game I've ever played. A wonderful blend of strategy, critical thinking, and diplomacy. The perfect game for the working man - the games play at a speed which allows for a busy life and doesn't need to be constantly checked (unless you're a maniac like me, and you're running 5 games at a time). The latest update made everything very smooth and there are so many options when it comes to strategizing a win.

Stumbled across this despite it being 10 years, and it looks perfectly in my area of interest. I get excited and read the whole rule book and want to hop into a game just to find out that if want to be in more than one game at a time, or get access to some other simple features, I gotta pay. That's fine, I'm willing to spend money on a solid game. But FIFTEEN dollars for a mobile game? IDK, kind of turn-off when other great mobile games are usually half that price or less.

I've played a few games so far and many of them had multiple players who knew each other irl. Unless you are really lucky, or bring friends of your own, there isn't a way to effectively counter it.
