Strategery 4+

I’ve been playing this game for several years. It’s a wonderful simplistic game that passes the time nicely… In the higher levels of play, it does require some real strategy. The one complaint I have is this. In the smaller maps, competition AI gets a little illogical, broken down and downright impossible for most battle scenarios. The AI competitors can beat you with a 2 vs 3 Army attack many many times and you’re never able to beat them when you have 2 armies vs their 3. Also, often times the three AI armies will gang up on you or ignore obvious strategic advantages by attacking either empty spaces or other AI colors. It’s a glitch and they probably will never fix it but it’s just something that I’ve noticed and recorded on video several times. If the developers are willing to discuss this with me I’d be happy to share my evidence. Again, otherwise this is a really fun game and super simple that has survived the many upgrades of iPhone to still be a part of my game catalog!

Don’t believe the comments about the levels being all about “ridiculously impossible dice rolls” - that was clearly from a person who tried jumping to the “brutal” level before he had a grasp of the subtleties of the game. I only play in the “brutal” level and it is a true challenge (I win 60-70%), but you have to know what you’re doing. I suggest mastering each level before moving up - and disregarding comments of ignorance. It took about 80 hours to work up to “brutal” for me, and has kept my interest for 7 or 8 years now.
I do agree, however, about having to occasionally tap many times to eliminate the last one or two pieces (which is usually the result of poor planning on the player’s part, but I accept it as a kind of ‘punishment’ for not getting the end moves just right, driving my challenge right up to the last move), and that there could be an easy fix, but I find it hysterical that the complaint is coming from a screen name with “...Real Zen...” in it.
I play this game every time I have to wait for something (Dr’s. offices, on long flights, etc.) and it is a perfect challenge for me.

I highly recommend it.

November 2020 Update:
This game doesn’t appear to be compatible with IOS 14 - it just won’t open since I “upgraded” my IOS

Good strategy game. Fast to play if needed. Fun to toggle settings like size and full/empty starting map and experiment with different game setups that way. Fun to try to figure out the AIs and predict their moves. Fun to conquer the world Risk-styles. Fun to play on randomly generated maps that are always different and almost always interesting in some unique way.

The one problem is that your starting position largely controls whether or not you have a shot at winning this game. But even then, it is often fun to give yourself an inferior starting position and see if you can still win.

All in all, awesome game, well worth downloading.
