It's a great board game. This digital version is mostly fine, but feels a bit outdated, UI/UX could have been better. Quotes of Cold War leaders that sound in the background play well into the atmosphere of the game. Half of the achievements are broken and the devs can't take 10 minutes to at least remove them from game. I like getting 100% in games so this is very disappointing.

Be warned: If you play single-player, the AI *will* cheat. I never had it fail a roll. Not once in dozens of rolls.

The online account creation feature does not work (won't let you activate), and the company email support is non-responsive. So its a big fail, until they can fix the account creation.

Basically a direct digital port of the board game, and quite faithful! Something I would definitely break out for a game night with a friend who has similar historical interests to mine.
