Explanation and review:
[note: this is NOT the roll and build version, but the full game]
I just got this game to play with my good friend thousands of miles away (due to the following note):
This can be played by people in other locations who also have the game using Zoom, as per this comment under a YouTube video (and mentioned in the first video below):
Another good point is that it plays well with physical copies across the world, using Skype or whatever, and calling the pieces bingo style!

Overview with some explanation:
I have the first map and ordered the full game. It is a roll and write game that can be played coop, competitive or solo. It also can be played as a legacy game. It ties together with a graphic novel(s). It employs computer logic and hacking. And you can play it for free while you wait for the final printed game to be delivered at Christmas NEXT YEAR :)

Many reviews refer to this game as a cooperative Carcassonne style game. This is a chill game that you can’t “lose”. A very relaxing game that still can stimulate your brain but with simple rules. Easy to play (but Game Night video did have a bunch of times where they didn’t follow the rules). Might be seen as a solo game that can be played with others, but the social aspect can be extremely fun too. Can play a game in 15-20 minutes and you will want to play two or three games in a row (per Board Game Happy review video).
PLUS it is a Legacy Style game with boxes to open as you achieve various goals.
