Whilst it supports two players well, this is probably best as a three or four player game, though beware, if you are playing in real-time, 4+ players can take some time to play. Vegetation grows out of the red soil, cities rise and even the odd volcano explodes! I would go as far to say that whilst having a board spread out before you on a table is great, playing via the App seems a lot quicker and easier. Plus, the graphic implementation is really very pretty. The App helps tremendously with this – during your turn you only have available cards that you can play, for example – and everything is explained well.
Due to the sheer number of potential synergies in the game it also has something of a steep learning curve. The boardgame is fantastic, but does suffer from the fact that it takes up a lot of space. It is one of those games where there are multiple paths to victory, and due to playing different corporations and the sheer number of cards in the game it is virtually impossible that any two games are ever the same. This is done by placing water on the surface of the planet, increasing the temperature and oxygen content of the atmosphere and by placing vegetation and cities on the surface, all through the playing of cards and resources. Terraforming Mars is a great card drafting/engine building/resource management game in which each player takes the role of a corporation trying to make Mars habitable. I must admit however that the solo game, though good for learning the rules and the game interface, isn’t particularly great. I’ve only played this game against one other online player at a time, and as a two player game it is pretty decent. Seeing your ships row across the sea to assault a port is a wonderful moment. The graphics of this game – both the Viking village and the land that you raid – are very nice indeed and greatly add to the appeal of the game. It takes a couple of games to get your head around the mechanics, but the result is an enjoyable game. Raiders combines a number of different mechanics (cards, dice, workers, resources) to interesting effect.
Raiders of the North SeaĪnother worker placement game, in Raiders of the North Sea players take the roll of Vikings, gathering crews to raid the coast and inland settlements of far lands in order to gather loot, loot which can then be converted into victory points, or perhaps better armour or weapons for future raids… The App is a pretty much seamless implementation of the boardgame, and both the Undermountain and Skullsportmodules are available to expand the base game. Online games can be played over a number of days should players wish, or in real time if you should wish. The game can be played solo, with AI opponents, or played online against other people. Whilst it’s a game that can be played by two people, it’s ideal when played with three or four. A very simple premise for an absorbing game. Whoever scores the most points at the end of eight turns wins. Each mission completed scores victory points. The premise of this game is that each player needs to recruit various adventurers (Warriors, Clerics, Fighters and Rogues) in order to complete missions. There is no doubt that Lords of Waterdeep has become one of our favourite worker placement games in recent years. What follows are a few of my favourites from the past months – though I will exclude Twilight Struggle as I wrote an in-depth review of it a couple of months ago. That said, I have found several boardgames that have had very good conversions to digital apps.

However, outside of the work environment, the vast majority of my online time is spent using a tablet rather than a PC or Laptop, so my gaming options have been a little more limited. There are many available, including such platforms as VASSAL and Tabletop Simulator, with various people also coming up with inventive ways of using social media to stream live gaming.
Since face-to-face gaming has been denied most of us in recent months we have had to find various alternatives.
