I cannot recommend this game. There are some serious shenanigans that the PC pulls out of thin air to win a match on turn 9. I've been playing through the challenges, and it's just the 2 NPCs vs. Player. They'll have the option to return a deployed troop between NPC (to win a conflict), or destroy your single troop and they will take destroying your troop every time. Count on them to get the exact Intrigue cards to increase their influence for alliances to edge you out of the competition, or get spice, or gain 4 victory points at the end of the last turn. It's just a lot of last minute mystery meat. Not rewarding to win and extremely frustrating to lose 11 Victory points to 13 when the game "ended" with them at 9 points and suddenly they had every last second Intrigue card to gain 4 VPs. It's beyond improbable.

Very nice adaptation of the board game. All mechanics are clear, perhaps even easier to follow in this version that the actual board game.
The extra challenges also make it fun to have some variety while playing offline, giving extra challenges and new ways to play the game.

Wonderful port of tabletop game. Animations and automations make gameplay so much faster, and trigger reminders help you not to forget to get bonuses.

If you are not familiar with the original game, I'd recommend give the digital copy a try: enormous replayability, constant presence of surprises from you opponents that make each game tense as hell will leave no one dissatisfied.
