Civ without the hexes, herding units and waiting around for something interesting to happen. Buttery smooth UI and controls, competent and challenging AI, online and asynchronous multiplayer for up to four players and one of the best tutorials I've ever enjoyed. I love that the path to victory is never the same so it's very much about opportunism and keeping a close eye on your opponents. It's crazy how much they've managed to squeeze in here and how polished it all is. Highly recommended.

I love the boardgames and have played the digital version for some time. However the app has stopped pushing notifications on in an appropriate fashion. Today I received an alert saying I had 4 hours until my reserve time ran out, having not previously received a notification that it was in fact my turn. Upon logging in, it turned out my time had expired some time beforehand and I had been removed from the game.

Hello, thank you very much for the feedback. We are working on the push notifications, trying to find the problem. We hope to get it done promptly of course! We're very sorry for the situation it caused you :( Hope you will not stop playing. Kind regards CGE Team

It's a great game that you can play with others as well as the AI. Too many devs sacrifice AI opponents, but this is fine example of it working. You can play with other humans, a mix of human and MP, but if you're solo you can play the game as well as scenarios. If you enjoy strategy games driven by resources, opponents, and sometimes the randomness of card draws, give it go. It keeps track of a lot of things for you, unlike the board have, and the most aged thing is not a great tutorial.
