A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

Really fun game so far, with a bunch of extra modes to keep things interesting. Edit: Now it feels like there are enough players to keep games going a bit faster. However I would still appreciate the following: * AI games for when there's noone available for your specific preferred playstyle & mode. * VIP modes in Pass & Play (not just for online friends)

We tried the AI, but trust us, the experience was not good enough. We recommend starting more games at once or playing daily cases and daily spymaster challenges. They are designed to play when you don't want to wait for others. Speaking of VIP modes in Pass&Play, the game is still developing, so we consider that. Thank you for advice.

Great app with cool features but a few huge flaws. Mainly locking so many things behind consumables and XP gating. And then having a lot of XP and rewards tied to frustrating achievements that are overly punishing, especially when trolls can screw up nearly 15 game streaks. Feels like it was going to be a freemium game and they didn't fix the problem areas before making it paid. Still fun, but really annoying if you want access to everything and are a completionist.
