Great adaptation of the physical game. Plays great and challenging. Nice music and multiple ways to win. Will edit when played more
- MARK · v2.19.1144
good digital version of a game, tempted to sell my physical copy because of this
- Chris Lorton · v2.19.1144
Fantastic adaptation of the best complex board (card) game. Incredibly satisfying, deep strategy and simulation of a civilisation.
- Cardiology Teaching by Will Nicolson · v2.19.1144

- Nara Knight · v2.19.1144
great game
- Luke Ruane · v2.19.1144
absolute masterpiece. I would not have thought one could bring a big board game like this to the small screen. This game exceeds expectations, just marvelous.
- Falco Wockenfuß · v2.19.1144
I've been getting a bug where during the culture war strength calculation the AI is raised by quite a bit resulting in me not getting many points or losing. After the war their strength returns to the lower value it was at the end of their turn. It's very frustrating.
- Justin Currie · v2.19.1144
relaly good game, incmu experience is exactly the same that board game
- Juan Esteban Castañeda · v2.19.1144
fantastic board game improvement
- Mark Robinson · v2.19.1144
love this digital version. I get to play whatever I want. it is so hard to get to the table.
- KellyJohn72 · v2.19.1144
At the end of the tutorial, they ask you to increase your strength from 4 to 12 in a single turn. I tried all possible options and could only reach a maximum of 8. This means either I'm too dumb, or it's a bug in the tutorial. In both cases, it's frustrating, so I'll give it a 1, because the point of games is to provide enjoyment p.s. changed
- Vadim Korostylev · v2.19.1144
Great game, highly recommend 👌
- jeremy richard · v2.19.1144
love this game and have it in physical copy and on steam but how can I get the extra leaders and wonders for my phone app version of the game?
- Marc Napolitano · v2.19.1144
Best user experience I ever had in any digital adaptation of a board game.
- Dénes Lövei · v2.19.1144
One ofthe best digital versions of a TT boardgame available. If you like the original game this is a must buy.
- Franz Audiø · v2.19.1144
Awesome adaptation.
- Linh Vũ · v2.19.1141
Great game but I want support for my Chromebook.
- Greg Deutschlander · v2.19.1121
It's a little to confusing
- igor rudrich · v2.19.1133
I've been playing this game for a loooong time. It is a great game. Some years ago the game needed some optimization but it has been fixed and now it runs smoothly. I just whish there were more expansions, I'd definitely buy them.
- Albert C · v2.19.1133
The game is exceptional . But recently have issues with notification delivery. I don't get notifications when it's my turn or when I need to bid for a colony and so on. This has resulted in messaging each other outside the game to keep the game going. edit: performance is improved now
- Deepan Anbarasan · v2.19.1133
the beginner / learner tutorial doesn't teach you anything. I'm lost in the game. I feel like it could be nice but you're just thrown into the game
- Pierre-Yves PATTÉ · v2.19.1133
the best way to experience this game. the board game is fun in real life too, but this eliminates all of the micro management of the dozens and dozens of bits. you also can't screw up and accidentally cheat!
- Jayson Esparza
Excellent translation from board game to video game
- Paul Suyat · v2.19.1041
Exceptional translation of the boardgame, and very active Support team
- Lee Anthony Valera (Lee) · v2.19.1133
very good
- Florin Stirbu · v2.19.1133
Below average at best, a. i. even on easy impossible to compete with facing possibly the worst tutorial ever.
- Wayne “Steele62” Warner · v2.19.1133
Well adapted board game. 5/5
- Fedhori · v2.19.1133
best game you can play on mobile by a mile. well worth it
- Jack Kelly · v2.19.1133
Takes a bit of time to enjoy but eventually you get there.
- Timothy Clark · v2.19.1133
Game works great, really enjoy it. One of the more recent updates has messed up some UI scaling/ratio-ing, as cards/text are now cut off on the left side when viewing them, along with some other cutoff issues, making it hard to play. Didnt used to be this way. Using a Samsung Fold 7.
- Tim Sawicki · v2.19.1133
The best civ games ever
- Jaronski Roman · v2.19.1133
Cards text is too small and unreadable on S25 Ultra
- Vivo forta
It's Through the Ages. The board game is north of $100 and getting my play group to play is like pulling teeth. Other free online implementations don't have either the great tutorial, the expansion, or the option to play with old rules. All around fantastic.
- d2kemps · v2.19.1132
ah... Sid Meier Civilization but with cards. At the behest of My gaming buddies I just had to get it for my Android. they helped pay for it of course 😉
- Kyle Prince · v2.19.1128
Easily one of the best board game adaptations ever.
- Alessio Boiardi · v2.19.1128
Almost the perfect pc game turned board game turned mobile game. All we need is a rematch button.
- Casper Jonker · v2.19.1128
Favorite board game. And now that I have kids, I don't have to wait to maybe play it once a freak'n year if I'm lucky. Update: I would like to see a way to undo a misclicked military action. Twice I've lost because I swiped up the wrong card and it's pivotal. In the physical game, this would never happen. Yes, it could be exploited, but there has to be some way to take back a card you didn't intend to play. The game is completely unforgiving if you accidentally play the wrong card from our hand
- Garrett McIntyre · v1.5.4
It's too short. I always end the game, feeling like I was interrupted by the sudden ending, even when I win. Otherwise, it would be getting 5 stars. A customization that lets you increase the card pool for individual games would be great. Even if only for single-player mode.
- Mike Hess · v2.19.1128
Very high strategy gaming. Lots of variables to consider and enjoy
- Marc St.Clair · v2.19.1128
Fantastic implementation with great interface and async multiplayer. Lots of single player challenges too.
