Labyrinth: The War on Terror

I love the board game. Sadly i can't love PC version. UI is a mess. Card animation can be painfully long, if you change animation time - you will get AI bot playing cards that you can hardly see. Whats a bigger problem - i think they messed the rules. I am almost sure that terrorist didnt lose when having 0 cells. US could not change posture (or at least i cant see how i can change posture, while i do have 2 cards with value of 3 and full round to do it).

Excellent game once you understand how each side plays. Only annoying thing is a bug in the program covering up how many cards each player has and how many cards are left in the deck.

Great game! Downside is that there is a bot (not AI) that controls the jihadists. I is given a lot of things to compensate. For instance when it plays a US card the US action is ignored. I understand that it won't be fixed.

Same problem here as with the Twilight Struggle: Red Sea. The Bot always seems to conveniently hit the right die roll or draw the right card for every situation. Always. Six rolls in a row, and 1's each time on War of Ideas.. yea.. no.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. It is not competitive for Bot play..

Pretty terrible product. Recommended only if you already have an opponent to play against, and need to learn the rules beforehand and/or need an interface to play remotely - and even then, it still feels like a ripoff at the price. The game it's based on is fairly niche to start with - a board game recreating the post 9/11 'war on terror' between the US and Islamic fundamentalists, heavily inspired by the classic Cold War-based Twilight Struggle (which also has a PC port by the same developer). I could say a lot about it, but to summarise: if you like TS and the subject matter doesn't bother you, it's certainly worth a go - but if not, you're not missing that much. The problem here isn't the game itself, though - it's the software, which is frankly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I don't know the story of the development, but I'd guess they started out thinking they could easily recycle a lot of the work from the TS game for a quick buck, but at some point in the process they lost interest and/or realised there wasn't actually much of a market. So they just got what they had into a barely-functional state and released it. The result is a frustrating mess which somehow manages to make even the recycled …

A very good and interesting game. There are many more great board games like this that I would like to see converted into a digital version.
