While you might not expect it, Big Huge Games' interpretation of the classic board game is well done and fun to play.
Gameplay doesn't take too long to learn for new players, and players who have played the classic board/card game will be able to jump right in once they get used to the controls, which are simple.
Graphics are simple and elegant, and the "living skin" mode is a treat.
The fact that the game handles all the rules makes the game much faster paced than the real life equivalent, changing the average game time from 90 minutes to 20/30 minutes, much more suiting an Arcade game.
Overall, well worth it to at least try. Fans of small strategy games will enjoy this one!
