Edit: Matchmaking in this game now forces you to use the Oceania board, which adds a lot of stress to the experienc. I want to get more games in before I decide how I feel about that, but early impressions are that I don't care for it.

So, be warned that there's currently no way to matchmake for the original game board experience. The expansion also adds bugs. The following review was based on the original board, before Oceania.

Fantastic board game video game. It's so rare to get a board game video game that isn't cheaply made and/or full of game-breaking bugs, but I've yet to encounter any bugs, and the presentation here is really great!

I only have a few hours of experience so far, but the game seems pretty deep and strategic. Has online, crossplay, and asynchronous multiplayer, which is practically all you could want from a game like this!

So pleased to finally own it, and that it exceeds expectations.
