Runs on Linux via Wine
This is a well made digital adaption of the popular board game which runs flawlessly on Linux using Wine 6.0 with DXVK enabled. Sadly, local multiplayer is not supported and online play requires an asmodee.net account. If not for that I would have rated it 5 stars.

You can play it exactly 12 times...
to beat the game with all houses and on both scenarios before you start repeating yourself. Then you're down to multiplayer, which has both its upsides (players are not brain dead like hard AI is) and its downsides (the game takes way longer that way). Everything else is like in the board game and holds its own even today. If you're a board gamer who already liked the physical version of the game but can't play it for some reason (no players, no time etc.), then this is definitely for you. For everyone else - I wouldn't be so sure. For me, it's a 7/10 only because I liked the board game that much back in the days.

Nice Digital Version
In terms of taking the board game and simulating it in a digital game, this does an A+ job. Everything is pretty clear, at your finger tips, and there's no room for human error in applying rules. It looks great, it presents the settings and characters so well, and the added sound effects and animations make it a great port. The map is beautiful and strategically sound. If you like the board game, you'll like this. Personally I wish there were more options to speed up gameplay though. The gameplay in a way pays fidelity to the source material in that parity is paramount, the game is designed to keep things relatively close, without one house totally dominating. This is both the game's strength and it's weakness. This is very contradictory, but so is the game. There are a lot of caps and rules on how many units one can have and how many units can be in one army. This hamstrings anyone from becoming too dominant. Things move in kind of waves of attacks and counter attacks. Any house can beat another as they cycle through their character cards. You can't be everywhere all at once and your neighbors are going to exploit your weaknesses. It leads to a grindy affair. Sometimes winning is losing (taking a stronghold with a siege engine only to be unable to hold it upon counterattack losing both). Sometimes losing is winning (you get rid of your last card, and although you lost, your units retreated and will counterattack with a fresh set of cards next round). Sometimes you are strongest when you're pressed back on your heels and weakest when you over extend. It's all very contradictory, but that's the essence of the game and what makes it both interesting and frustrating. I haven't played multiplayer, but due to the grindy nature I feel there's not a lot of replayability.. I'd almost prefer playing the board game face to face with friends/family.

Decent translation to digital format
This game is a digital version of a physical game, so it brings the common luxuries that the being on a computer brings- namely gameplay automation. This makes playing the game rather swift, as it saves time on setup, resolving gameplay elements, etc. Additionally, there are player vs computer challenges added that act as puzzle scenarios. They're farily average and good for a single playthrough each. You can play against computers locally and other players online, but the population is such that you'll likely have to organize them yourself. Unfortunately, as the game is a social strategy game, playing against machine opponents is extremely underwhelming, as it misses a critical element of gameplay. The digital version also has not implemented all the current expansions that exist for the physical game. If you can find players who would play online or just want to try the game before buying the physical version, I recommend this game! Otherwise, there are better options for strategy / puzzles games against computer opponents.
