“Really enjoy playing a game I played in my childhood while allowing technology to increase the speed of set-up and play while adding epic customization.”
“One can play solo or against the AI or other players. It has the classic map and then the option to play 2 others for free every day. The AI on expert setting is pretty decent. Other play variants available, as well.”
“Very similar to the original board game, fun avatars, soldiers/troops, artwork is very well done, and the maps have good variety of size so that the player is challenged to think carefully how to deploy troops and where…”
