The gameplay is praised for its simplicity and elegance, making it accessible for both newcomers and experienced players, with smooth mechanics that allow for strategic decision-making. The tutorial is easy to follow, and the graphics are visually appealing, enhancing the overall experience. However, the high cost of the season pass for additional content has drawn some criticism.
“The beauty of it...is how simple the gameplay is: play a card; do what it says.”
“Gameplay is smooth and fun.”
“However, the 'season pass' containing new maps and gameplay tweaks costs 35% more than the basic game and never comes on sale.”
“The actual gameplay took me about 75 minutes and came close to winning, but lost.”
“Gameplay allows you to try out your options before you finalize your decisions, minimizing user mistakes.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for being slick and well-made, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, some users noted that the artwork could be improved and that the graphical changes from the physical board game can make it challenging to track player positions. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong aspect of the game, enhancing its digital implementation.
“Fantastic, great graphics and tutorials.”
“But overall, if I created a board game and I wanted a digital implementation, this is how I'd like it to be; amazing in every way, from the graphics to the sound effects and everything in between.”
“Well made, good music, graphics, and gameplay.”
“I think the artwork is not that great, but I like the game.”
“Takes a little bit to get used to the graphical changes in cards and in general as it can be hard to see where different players have buildings or where their colonists currently are compared to the actual board game where houses and colonists are represented with actual pieces.”

However, some users express a desire for more varied tracks, noting that it can feel repetitive with what seems like a single extended piece. Overall, the sound effects are considered acceptable, but not standout.
“Well made, good music, graphics and gameplay.”
“Music is great though I wish there were some more varied tracks instead of what feels like the long 'one' song built in.”
“Better than some tabletop game music; okay sound effects.”
