This is a great port of a classic game! Plus, it manages all of the fiddly bits, so I can focus on making choices. Great game, heavy thinking, worth it if you're into deep games with lots of decisions to make.

Z70%
by Z####:

Very well implemented. The controls, graphics, and UI all greatly simplify the play of this complicated board game without giving up any of the nuance of the table. You see and learn the whole game, but don't have to deal with its fiddliness.

Love the app, extremely well done. But my first game keeps crashing in age 2 as the card row is replenished. Submitted an email to their support, no response yet

Really happy with the gameplay speed overall. I wish the ai turns had a bit more description so I didn't have to look at the game log but it's a terrific game. Well designed

Perfecrt game and execution except for a glitch I found with my first online play. All my points got deleted before bonus card calculation. Please fix!!

Z70%
by Z####:

Amazing adaptation. I always played that after revolution you got the difference in civil actions which the app didn't do. Was I playing wrong or was the digital game wrong?

Z70%
by Z####:

a bit heavy for my phone but overall it feels smooth, the controls are intuitive, and if you like TTA thr boardgame but don't have spare 5 hours to play it, you can play this game for under 1 hours, the AI is also good, having a tight game every match, thumbs up!

O70%
by O####:

Good port of a great game. The UI is a little rough on a small screen and the art is nothing to write home about even if it's faithful to the physical game. The AI seems good which is a huge plus.

Z70%
by Z####:

This, along with Czech Games's other app, Galaxy Trucker, is the gold standard for board game adaptations. Online play works both live and asynchronously, with slight rules adjustments to make the game flow more quickly (you can optionally play with the original rules). The single-player is good, with fairly strong AI and a number of challenges that alter the rules a bit to change things up. Through the Ages is more complex than most board games, but the app does a lot to mitigate this. Much of the bookkeeping is handled for you, making things flow more smoothly. This app is the easiest way to learn the game.

Almost perfect. It scratches that TtA itch so well that my leg twitches and kicks spasmodically.

H70%
by H####:

Pretty good implementation. I just wish more information about your opponents was available at a glance. Particularly the culture. It is also slightly glitchy. Otherwise very well done.

Z70%
by Z####:

Beautiful adaptation of a remarkable game. It removes all the annoying bookkeeping aspects so you can play it in a fraction of the time it normally takes.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is the best digital boardgame I have played so far. The tutorial is great, the user interface is fantastic, and there are plenty of challenges to keep the game interesting. I found the game to be better suited to the larger display of my tablet compared to that of my phone but otherwise I have no complaints.

H70%
by H####:

Excellent tutorial! Funny and informative. I was afraid to play the board game version, but now all is understood, and I have won my first challenge!

Y70%
by Y####:

Great implementation of Through the Ages. I disliked the boardgame, but the app has been great so far. Handles the fiddly disks and rules and the tutorial is great.

Tutorial is hysterical. Finally able to get this game to the "Table"

Wonderful euro civ game! Never played te physical game, and picked this one up easily from the informative, amusing tutorial. Looking forward to playing it more.

H70%
by H####:

A great board game finally on Android. Completely worth the money if you're a fan. My only two complaints are that the sound, at least for me, is a bit buggy and seems to stutter during the AI's turn. The second problem seems to be frequent crashes. I'm sure these two problems with be fixed within the future and they certainly don't prevent you from playing a whole game.

This is a modern classic tabletop game, brought into the digital age with a stunning implementation. Bravo! The tutorial is the best I've ever encountered for a complex game. You can feel confident that you don't need to know anything about the original boardgames in advance. The tutorial will teach you everything you need to know, at a very smooth pace and in a very interactive manner.

My favourite mobile game so far! I can't criticise anything about it and I'm so hooked on playing this. If you like strategy games you should play it!

TTA finally got an app and it does it justice. The art, layout, and how you use your actions is absolutely great. If you like TTA this is the best app you will ever buy from the play store.

Incredible polish - highly recommended! Also, there's a great tutorial for those who are new to the game, like myself. Well worth the price.

A faithful digital implementation of the board game, as well as an excellent mobile game itself. Great even if you've never played the board game.

Such a great polished game and deserves best of TtA boardgamers' praise. If there is anything I can pick at, would be 1. Preferring a larger graphics for the card row (moving players profile token down) and 2. putting current culture point beside token along with military (colonization bonus is not that important). You had done such an amazing work! Chears! Will suggest all my friend buy it.

This is the best adaptation of a board game I have ever played, and I've played a lot. It even blows Galaxy Trucker Digital out of the water. The blend of tabletop mechanics with the interactive medium is seamless. The UI is beautiful and functional. The tutorial onboards charmingly, and the challenges give structure to the learning process. Beyond just being a faithful rendition of a tabletop experience, this app is an example of what a band of creative, motivated people can accomplish when their aim is to transfer their deep understanding of player-game and player-player interaction into digital. CGE & CGE Digital, what can I say - you understand games, and you understand players. We love you. Don't ever change. See you in Essen! TL;DR BUY IT.

An amazing board game app. It's visually stunning and very in-depth. There are all sorts challenges and achievements to keep you playing indefinitely, and the AIs are well-crafted. One of my minor quibbles is you really can't see all of your civilization at once -- instead, you need to memorize the symbols for each developed technology. Otherwise, you are just swiping through screens of cards. Also, some new leaders and wonders would have been nice. But neither quibble is worth reducing the five-star rating.

Overall job well done. Great game and a very good adaptation to digital. There are still a few bugs to be worked out as one would expect from a new app. I have had the app slow and stutter on me and the sound is very choppy. I have also had a sound effect get stuck to the point where I need to restart the app. Also, I could not figure out how to use Cesars ability. Once these little things are fix an app well deserving of 5 stars.

Longtime TtA player here. Wow, this is more than just a barebones game. Challenges that change gameplay makes solo mode addicting and add a lot of replay! Played several online games. I had trouble connecting while not on Wi-Fi though, even with mobile data on for all apps. Resetting to factory settings will hopefully fix it.

Can't launch online play for some reason? Tells me it's connecting and never loads. Using a Samsung Galaxy S6. Any input appreciated. Otherwise, fantastic app and best tutorial I've ever played. Really excited to get online with my friends :(

I just love it! I've been waiting for a long time for this and CGE scored once again! Love the tutorial humor! :) Very well designed port in total. Looking forward to other announced modes.. IMPORTANT: I can't find the application through Google Play search, had to do it through the FB link! It took ages.... I guess you're aware of the issue, but still... On the critical side (I just want it to be perfect): Leaderboard scrolling is a bit slow and initial card row setup animation is choppy, but could be due to older phone. Experienced a minor bug when trying to add a friend: wouldn't bring up the keyboard and after a few tries, crashed the app.

One of the best board games created. For a very long time this is been one of my favorite board games but the setup doesn't allow us to play it a lot this adaptation is a great example of what companies can do with a digital version of their board games. This game doesn't feel like a board game like other games it actually feels like a mobile game completely difference in the feeling but the same in the board game execution
