Review Trost 3/5 · Jan 4, 2018

Tabletop game best played vs AI.

For some reason I didn't really like the PvP mode.
Instead I just played the singleplayer campaign, where every mission brings a twist to base rules.
Trying to predict the AI made this game more interesting for me.
Beat the campaign in about 7-9 hours, might be short for some people.

That's what it is, A really good digital board game that wouldn't really work if it was a real board game. The game is simple but mechanically deep, it has enough map variation. And it's extremely polished. The game is a 1v1 and turn-based. you play as master thief and you control this group which is basically a mafia. The map at first mostly isn't visible and you can't see what the other player is doing, there is this slow build up before the intense showdown for every game, kinda like in an rts.But obviously it is more tactically focused.

Two minor problem i have, the campaign is a bit short, and the queue for online game is a bit too long (because of no players) thankfully they have this other mode where you play your turn then you leave the game until the other player play their turn, and then you play your turn and so on. But it's obviously isn't as fun as the live mode.
