Overall, the graphics received mixed reviews; while many users praised the slick visuals and effective tutorials, some found the artwork lacking and noted challenges in visual clarity compared to the physical board game.

“Well made, good music, graphics, and gameplay.”
“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.”
“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.”
