8 of 15Despite having known “child enthusiast” Bill Gates as a playable leader, it is a classic. Great game I often come back to. A little hard to pick up, it does take some time to fully grasp how all the systems and resources are connected but the tutorial is both helpful and entertaining. Plus there is a ton of challenges if you want to try something different. Devs clearly put a lot of effort into the game and it shows.
This games great! I havent played the board game version but this ones really nice. Its like Civ but much quicker, hitting all the high points youd expect. Love it
You gotta play it! It's an amazing game!!!
Not sure how it’s got 5 stars but the challenges and AI are impossible to beat.
I love this game. 5 stars regardless, but since this latest update, all the UI elements have been shifted in strange ways. The card row is set too far right, there is uncomfortable space to the right of the leader pictures below the card row, etc.
Play this all the time on hard and it’s one of the toughest games. But I am amazed how often Dark Ages comes up when you are about to play a government for example. I’ve learned to just expect things like that all game long. Similarly if you build the wonder that lets you get an island without having one in your hand, you probably will never draw one. Little behind on military, don’t count on ever drawing a military tactic card. Maybe it’s just chance but it’s surprising. And when you attack the AI their hands seem stacked with good military tactics to defend. Every now and then I delete it because it seems like blatant cheating but I come back to it.
Can’t imagine playing the physical game, the player aids in this version make a rich and deep boardgame super accessible and a breeze to play
Fantastic board game, a lot of strategy ways to improve your Civilization. This game is absolutely number One on my board game list!
