I think it's best as a supplement to the physical board game, for when you're already familiar with the rules and any number of factors are preventing you from seeing your friends as often as is necessary to excuse playing complex board games with them. It's much more fun playing IRL, of course, even if it's a more expensive and demanding experience.

I wish there was a little more focus on Kyle Ferrin's charming art, if they'd maybe gone the Wingspan route and just puppet-animated his illustrations for the game, but the 3D models grew on me after a few matches and I'm just happy to be able to play this more often, when I see my friends in-person so rarely.
