Only the best game ever!
- Sofia Kyriakoulea · v2.11.7.131308
Amazing game, 100ds of hours to play and never get bored.
- Aleksander Szewerniak · v2.11.7.131308
Great game, but there is no real maintenance going on anymore. I reported a bug months ago that is highly reproducible and ruins the game when it occurs and there is no acknowledgement, no fix nothing.
- Garik Suess · v2.11.7.131308
Great single player base game experience
- Jared “MrNukeKiller” Gulseth · v2.11.7.131308
Great visuals, but same horrible stuff for 6 years. Game lobby is atrocious! Game starts automatically without confirmation players are ready. Cant kick leaver form lobby, can't see ratings. Connection with asmodee ranking doesn't work for 1+ year. Karma is useless - change it to # of last 20 games finished regularly - no one would play with leavers with score under 13~15.instant improvement. Game crushing bugs. With every update new bugs arrive while old ones get somewhat patched.
- Johny Satanov · v2.11.7.131308
This is a good digital representation of an outstanding board game.
- Evan Dickson · v2.11.7.131308
It's a great game and I enjoy playing it. However, the first greenery by using plant resources will be placed at bottom of the map automatically. This really disrupts the game flow as otherwise could be placed next to 2 ocean tiles that would gain me 4 Credits. Please fix this, thank you.
- jefflai0101 · v2.11.7.131308
This has to be one of the worst UIs for finding other players or joining lobbies. It only allows you to see three games, you cannot add friends from chat, nor can you find them by searching their usernames. 0/10 would recommend unless your a masochist.
- Mordecai Jenkins · v2.11.7.131308
Every update of this game introduces new unexpected bugs and loading saved games takes forever. The while experience is just reeking of poor engineering.
- Michael Zedeler · v2.11.7.131308
expansions are great, but now it locks me out of the ones I've purchased...
- josh dooley · v2.11.7.131308
fantastic version of the boardgame.
- George Same · v2.11.7.131308
Fun game, but a lot of the cards (especially the newer expansion cards) aren't really working. Specifically, lots of tags are never recognized. I can play eight or nine Science or Venus tags before the game recognizes that I've played four or five. Makes it hard to meet requirements. ...and now it's not recognizing Earth tags either.
- John Henry · v2.11.7.131308
The game keeps getting into a bad loop where you end your turn but it doesn't actually go to the other player's turn. you just repeat your turn over and over, unless you force quit then it resets it. really very annoying.
- Wild Katana · v2.11.7.131308
awesome
- Joshua Jenson · v2.11.7.131308
Great game! Exactly like the board game. Some text is really small to read.
- Carlo Kuiper · v2.11.7.131308
Not for asynchronous play
- Buhoberto Hernández · v2.11.7.131308
Glitches. I love the game but it always glitches, lags, bugs etc.
- Varvara Alderman · v2.11.6.131305
Good port of physical game a friend owns and we play. Looks good, and plays well. Worth the cash. I have a lot of games on my two tablets and this is a favourite. bought both expansions but yet to play other maps. Tutorial on project cards does not have a button to choose corporation but otherwise, game runs fine. Also had a bit of a faff getting game to recognise My purchases but my internet reception is awful. (no. 1 network for 10 years my A&£e). Ahem... Any more expansions planned ?
- MARK · v2.11.6.131305
A board game app which allows asynchronous play without being able to send notifications is just not a good app at all. I will edit my review when that feature is fixed.
- Gunnar Sigstad · v2.11.6.131305
Well impressed with this implementation! I'm only playing solo so no idea what the current status is on online stability which features heavily in the negative comments, but single player is a joy to play :) . Very impressed that they managed to translate a game that's notorious for table space into a mobile UI! I do hope the devs are at work on a Turmoil DLC though...! :D
- Tom Pickering · v2.11.6.131305
I find it difficult to play. it doesn't really make any sense and it has no tutorial. I would actually like my money back on this.
- Brian Paige (Uncle Brian) · v2.11.6.131305
An excellent translation of the board game, with a robust single player as well as multi-player options. I appreciate they've added on the expansions over time, which increases the depth of the game significantly.
- Ryan Horan
same bugs 5 years later yet they have kept addinv new context, which brings more bugs. now they have basically stopped giving updates and are going to let it die.
- Rob Cronin · v2.11.6.131305
Haven't been able to play online since I got the game. Game seems mostly a faithful recreation. Will update later as it changes.
- Mike Ziegler · v2.11.6.131305
buggy game
- Kei Rebolledo · v2.11.6.131305
this morning, the app seems to have "forgotten" that I own Hellas & Elysium already and would like me to buy it again
- Aaron Greenblatt · v2.11.6.131305
Excellent game
- Milos Jokic · v2.11.6.131305
Paid-for DLC not available offline. I had no service on my lunch break at work, was not allowed to play with modules I paid money for. Very disappointed.
- Keith Comfort · v2.11.6.131305
Great game and devs did outstanding work. Small complaint on the dlc and promos:too costly, how about making a bundle for purchase? Also make the Ai smarter, they always do actions card first when it should be the last thing of a turn, better to do something on the board or a card instead...
- Noam R · v2.11.6.131305
explore the best tabletop board game in a innovative way
- théo tissot
This game is very engaging and enjoyable. Unfortunately, in the last few months, my purchased expansions and promo boxes don't show up unless I uninstall and reinstall. It's extremely annoying.
- Sherri Grey · v2.11.6.131305
good game. awful app. too much bugs
- Giorgos Filippidis · v2.11.5.131300
Fun game! Very good to play on an airplane or places where you don't have wifi
- Klenton Smith
be careful before buying!!! since last update I'm only able to play a basic version, every other package is locked despite having paid for the app and previously having access. Developer also does not respond to support requests.
- Timotej Č · v2.11.5.131300
I love the boardgame and I bought this app to play even more, but it's full of bugs, the online doesn't work well and finishing a match is almost impossible. If I had known that it was unusable, I wouldn't have spent any money on it.
- Carmine Schipani · v2.11.5.131300
I've been critical of Twin Sails lack of QA on this app but recently they've been more diligent about updates and fixing bugs lately. If the trend continues, this really will be a terrific digital version of a great board game and will be well supported. As an example, Extended Start in solo mode is a terrific add; wonderful to see them include quality of life improvements with more frequent bug fixes.
- Ryan Shipman · v2.11.5.131300
Great UI, great experience. Only gave 3 stars because every time the developers update the game (and they update it frequently), it bricks your existing online games.
- Mikal Caober · v2.11.5.131300
update (3/18/2026): much more polished compared to my previous review in 2022. have yet to play much with the newest colonies expansion, but so far it's been a better playing experience with less bugs. I do have a major issue however, the two dlc maps are showing as locked (unselectable) even though I've already purchased them.
- shawn yang · v2.11.4.131296
Can't access my dlc without Internet connection. It used to be fine but something changed.
- Buji · v2.11.4.131296
would give 5 stars but game crashes when trying to load a saved playthrough at timed. Gets to 75 to 85% loaded then crashes. otherwise captures the board game very very well online.
- Matt Sekorski · v2.11.4.131296
Edit: update, the game had lots of issues and support does not respond to complaints. The game did not work for me for a few months but it is working again now.
- James Caldwell · v2.11.4.131296
i absolutely love the board game, but i feel like i always have problems with this app. it takes forever to get a game started. everyone needs to Update. it crashes sometimes. all the sudden my map add on is gone? I newd to Religion everytime i open the app. Just soooooo many Bugs even though we pay decent money for this app. Spoiler alert: there are was to play this for free online. my rating stays 1 Star.
- Devon nickel · v2.11.4.131296
good game but it's sooo buggy I haven't got through a single game yet. I've had to restart multiple time
- Darrell Keller · v2.11.3.131285
great game. it is really nice that you can adjust the speed of the bots. games can go so much faster.
- Jonathan Meyer · v2.11.3.131285
very glitchy. frequently freezes preventing smooth game play especially with drafting. shame or I would totally get prelude. also expansions are overpriced.
- Catherine Geller · v2.11.3.131285
Previously was usable but recent updates have made it unusable. The keyboard pops up after every interaction. This bug was not fixed by the most recent update.
- Dan Radford
Great game, however wherever I click on screen my keyboard pops up. I close it, on next touch on the sceen it opens up again. I cannot play game anymore like this
- Jagos Uskokovic · v2.11.3.131285
The most recent update requires me to repurchase the Hellas and Elysium maps expansion.
- Timothy McManus · v2.11.3.131285
so I own everything for the game with the app. now it claims I don't own hellas & elysium expansion. why do I have to pay for it again.
- David Bethel · v2.11.3.131285
5 stars for the game, 1 star for the app. Devs broke it again, currently not playable for me (android user). Think they released an unintended version to us. genuinely: Do not buy anything from these devs. This game can be played on BGA with no trouble.
