User Reviews and Ratings

★★☆☆☆ Pretty Perfect
Great adaptation. But really annoying playing on the iPhone XS. The ui is not scaled correctly for it. Hopefully it gets fixed in the future.. Update: Over a year on and still no update to the ui scaling on newer iPhones. It just can’t be that difficult.
★★☆☆☆ Not very good
Fairly high learning curve on a fairly boring game. If you aren’t already familiar with how to play definitely pass this- lots of better options. Regret purchasing. The interface is good, the game less so.
★★☆☆☆ Ai strategy
The Ai opponent only has two strategies, spamming vps starting turn three, if you’re trying to do a non vp build, or racing you with military if you’re trying to do a vp build. There’s no diversity in play, and I, a long time vet of RFTG have difficulty beating the hard ai setting. The game works just fine and I haven't encountered any bugs. Online play is the only way to go unfortunately
★★★★☆ AI cheats on hard mode
No other explanation. The AI Hard player ALWAYS uses the same strategy (production), never military or any other path to victory. After ten games vs three AI players (two medium, one hard), the hard AI has won every time. My point is that you don’t win every game using the production strategy (duh, that’s why there are other strategies)… UNLESS you cheat. How? By dealing itself the cards from the deck that it needs for the first four or five turns, then cycling produce/consume 2x for the re
★★★★★ Insanely great!
I accidentally found this game. At first, it is into,idating. Nothing really made sense. Then, after struggling a few times, I reread the instructions and had a better understanding of what was being referred to, etc. Now, I cannot stop playing it. It’s fast, incredibly robust, and requires thinking on your feat. The variation in strategy and need to adjust mid game makes this game particularly fun. I never played or owned the analog card game, but may buy it just because of this app. Well done.
