I recommend getting it at the sale price, or trying to find free versions of the game. Why? It might not be everyone's cup of tea. I have played 3 easy games so far. I lost the first and won the other 2. I'm sure with enough time and study there will be strategies that immerge, but until then, it is a very alien playing field and having ANY IDEA AT ALL of what to do gives a disorienting feeling. That said, this is certainly deeper than checkers and approaching the depth of chess. Probably not as deep as Go (but notice, it's in the same league as these very strong games). The biggest difficulty is that for most moves there are at least 3, maybe 6 or more balls rolling around the board! So to get my head around that is proving more than I bargained for when I bought the game, and it's challenging to say the least. The whole board may look very different by the time your opponent finishes his move (which is really 3 moves). I can imagine getting good at it and getting to the po...

A really nice board game that is simple enough that anyone can get into it, but also complex enough that one have to put quite a lot of thinking into it in order win the game. Online Multiplayer is not supported yet as far as I know so its limited to LAN only. The graphic and game-play is very good. No bugs or glitches. I would recommend it but not worth the full price. Get it only on sale. (I got the game with 75% off sale) 8/10
This shouldn't be on Steam, it's a flash game. Everything is just bad....
[b]TREBUCHET[/b] has had these things listed as "coming soon" on the store page since 2015, or rather, "Coming Soom": "-Cross Platform Multiplayer support - coming soon! -Cross Platform Local Network and WIFI Play - Coming soon! -New, exciting boards, sets and other features - Coming Soom!" Yep, it really says "Coming Soom!"
This is a fantastic puzzle game but can't be played online or using Steam Remote Play Together. If either of those options were implemented this game would be a favorite for sure.
Bought this game on android while ago after seeing the raving reviews, and signed up to Steam just so I could have it on my laptop and play with friends! Its so simple and easy to learn, yet so addictive! The graphics look amazing in full screen on a laptop and desktop and the sounds are really lifelike and immersive! So cool to see something new and different for a change, and with the addition of two player mode and all the enjoyment we've had its well worth the new price tag !! Thanks for making such an amazing new game! 5*
Love this game! stimulating and visually beautiful!
Easy to get into, a surprisingly deep & original challenge. If you like board games you should pick this up in a sale or build a real board.
Trebuchet Discovered! Excellent, addictive, original new game. Well worth the price...
