The verdict
A stylish, deep steampunk digital board game that shines with friends, but it is chaotic and luck-heavy. Skip it if you hate RNG or want solo play; ranked has teaming and bans.
Great for
Groups of friends who enjoy chaotic, backstabbing board games with strategic depth
Main risk
Heavy luck and take-that mechanics wreck plans; ranked has teaming, bans and few players
What players love
