This is a truly one of a kind, incredible experience. I don't know any other apps that have done anything close to it. The social manipulation, tactical plays, team work, betrayal.... I'm so invested in the plotlines my games take it's incredible I just want someone to geek out about this to. If you can't afford to support the developer of this masterpiece for the price of a meal at Red Robin I pity you

This is one of the best strategy games you can get for mobile. The graphics are simple, but the game's mechanics allow for infinite variations of strategy. The biggest part of this game is the diplomacy aspect, which is expertly executed. You have a chat button to talk to other players, and this is how you make alliances. However, there is no in-game mechanic keeping you from breaking whatever agreement you made. You must trust your allies, or betray them to win. Excellent game!
