    • Not a train simulator or action game, EBP is a turn-based strategy game
    • Not sluggish: from EBP start to game play takes less than 5 seconds on most devices

    • Not scamware: no in-game purchases needed to facilitate game play
    • No awkward, clueless, help-devoid user interface
    • No subscription needed to continue play
    • No advertisements to interrupt play
    • No credit card needed for free 30-day trial
    • No third-party account needed to play
    • For your privacy, none of the user tracking, such as Flurry, often done by apps and online services
    Future Proofed
    • Just the game and a popular operating system like Windows needed to play, as simple as this gets
    • No dependence on third-party services means EBP won't break when those services change

    • Can separately save an unlimited number of AI-played games per second
    • Can access an unlimited number of saved games and maps without error
    • Simple graphics mean EBP will still work when support ends for complex graphics drivers
