This game is very rigged against anyone not willing to spend a lot of money on it. Along with rigged boards in PvP, the alliance wars are a joke. Do not get this game unless you want to spend a ton of money to get anywhere. An update to my already bad review, when Zynga bought out small giant, the pay to play is even worse and any casual player will not get ahead. Also, every time they "improve" the game it just gets worse. A perfect example of greed getting in the way of quality.
