A big problem with the game is that it will disconnect every player mid-way through. If you're playing a live game -> you can't rejoin and it's lost. If you're playing casual, we managed to rejoin after 5-10 minutes, maybe because servers go down often or something. The UI is horrible, built for a mobile game from 2015, you need to click 3 times to see basic info, or hover over cards to see what they do, and some stuff like how many offering tokens you currently have isn't visible at all. There is also no volume slider for music or sounds. Instead, you have to open the volume mixer and adjust there. With a little bit of effort this could be a good experience, with a bit more great, but the game is obviously abandoned so that isn't happening.

Love this game. It takes a couple of rounds to get into it. Wish they had all the expansions on Steam as well.

Came here after playing Raiders of Scythia, the reimplemented board game of RotNS. This is my go-to alternative whenever I feel too lazy to set up the physical board game.

Great port of a great board game. This is a perfect intro to modern board games because it features key mechanics like worker placement and still has combat.

Game crashes after 40 minutes of online game. This happened to both me and my friend several times. Even if you select casual mode which would allow the player to continue the game whenever, you are unable to join it again. UX is very bad and not intuitive at all. If you haven't played the board game, you will not have a good time playing it via steam.
