Problem solving at it's very core. The tutorial and instructions are top notch. The graphics are beautiful, music is soothing. Creative and entertaining. This game is an engineer's wet dream.
Early access means more content to come, the elements that exist feel very finished. Definitely recommend.

Relaxing and calm. I like the game modes to play for score, achieve a goal, or solve a puzzle.
Looks great and is very enjoyable no matter your style of play.

The PC Keyboard / Mouse controls are terrible. The game looks great, but I can't realistically enjoy it with the keyboard and mouse configuration.

Play the great classic game, or try something new with the many options this game offers.

Plain & simple + complex & creative = FUN

This game is very engaging, even in early release. Challenging and relaxing. Interesting, informative. The time will pass by without you even realizing you have spent the day, and left the baby on the bus.
Cannot wait to see what more goodies come our way in this game. Definitely recommend.

Great city builder. Graphics are nice. Although still in early access, lots to do already. Definitely recommend.

Relaxing, thoughtful game. Build up islands with different shaped buildings to gain points. Excellent value for the price.

In short, not worth the price. If it is ever on sale, and you are a HUGE chess fan, then get it.
But only for the animations, which wear thin very quickly.
The tutorial is good, but I'm sure other complete games can provide a tutorial.
DO NOT RECOMMEND

I have been a Civ fan since the early 90's. I still enjoy this turn based strategy game. Access to workshop mods make the game dynamic. Yes for Civ 6
