Ratings and Reviews
Faithful to the Boardgame; minor glitches
Great value! Highly repeatable game play. AI is a bit wonky where the AI players sometimes don’t take obvious overrun opportunities. Occasional glitches with event cards. Mostly faithful to the board versions (but I haven’t played the most recent versions, so take that with a grain of salt).
Ok, but some of the features don’t work
Great map and overall concept, but the execution and factory testing is somewhat lacking. Some of the event cards don’t work. Example, I chose a disaster event card, the interface then told me to select a province to apply the disaster to (it even highlighted the eligible provinces), but when I clicked on a province nothing happened. I clicked everywhere on the map, nothing happened. Now I am stuck in the event card transaction with no way to get out of it except close the app and start a whole new game. Very frustrating.
Favorite game
Been playing this flawlessly for years and long been one of my favorite iPad games, a combination of Civ and Risk. A bug was introduced in a recent updates but they responded quickly to fix it (thank you!).
Edit: Had to add that twice I reported an AI bug with the Arabs and both times they fixed it right away. Great support from Sage!
