There's a great iPad adaptation: it looks dated, but takes away the tedium of counting and remembering all that stuff (who has more military power? Is it time to make tactics communal? Did you forget to take away two yellow pop markers?).
Also it helped us when learning the game, even thoughwe've got the board game on the shelf, because the iPad version sometimes didn't let us do something, because of a rule we hadn't internalized already.
I highly recommend it.
Also, the expansion is good. It sounds stupid and expensive (only wonders and leaders, no new buildings or military cards), but it makes it fresh again. That said, we mostly play vanilla.
