Very interesting way to play a game of this sort but it makes sense. Well think about it, no telephones, no internet, and no marconi so this is about how it would be back in those days.
I did enjoy playing it for a bit but the map, and pawns (moving pieces) are ugly. The colors are shiny, and so very bad is what made me get a refund. The core game mechanics are solid, and if you enjoy walls of text then this game would be something you could enjoy. I didn't mind reading through the messages, in fact it drew me in even further.
I own a couple of Crusader Kings games, and the dev had the good mind to work the colors on the map, pawns etc, and when I played this game I was offended by the color scheme, and it's very very bad. I mean it's very bad.
Do I suggest the game? Yeah I do but the game is very ugly (map, and pawns).
Note: Dev, I really liked the game but the colors are bad. Not the text or messages etc, just the main map, and pawns are horrible looking (colors). PLEASE change these for goodness sakes alive. I wish I was able to keep the game but my eyes got very tired because of the colors.
