A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

Great app with cool features but a few huge flaws. Mainly locking so many things behind consumables and XP gating. And then having a lot of XP and rewards tied to frustrating achievements that are overly punishing, especially when trolls can screw up nearly 15 game streaks. Feels like it was going to be a freemium game and they didn't fix the problem areas before making it paid. Still fun, but really annoying if you want access to everything and are a completionist.

It is a fun game, but I paid for it and often can't find a game to play because nothing is available. On top of it, it sometimes won't load causing me to time out on missions. Definitely making me much less interested in playing. Update: reducing my rating to 2, server is down nearly daily now when I try to play. I regret that I spent money on this.

We're sorry for the issues. The servers should be fixed and fully online again. You can find more information in the game news center. We'd be glad if you could give us one more chance and try the game now, when the servers are up and running.
