Community Insight:
After playing a few times Im updating our review a bit. The original review is below, and we still stand by it and recommend this game, but there are a couple bugs: (1) The horse doesnt work properly. Youre supposed to be able to use his special move, plus your regular moves. This isnt happening. Once you use his move, your turn ends without being able to use your remaining moves. This makes the horse more of a deficit than a benefit. (2) Every single time we use a map, it gives us the same card we already have. Every time. It still gives us the extra 4th move, but drawing the same card you have every time makes the maps virtually pointless. Other than that, which we hope those things get fixed, this is a good game. Original review: Thank you developer for doing such a great job making this game, and for monetizing it fairly with no ads or IAP. We appreciate the good data policy, and the small file size. Its also good on battery. We really appreciate that its in portrait mode too! We tend to go to portrait games more because its easier to hold your phone that way. Much appreciated! We had never played the physical board game. But the rules and tutorial here are complete and teach you everything you need to know. Its easy to learn, and its relaxing to play on a work break, and its strategic enough to hold your interest. Its so hard to find good solo games. Im so glad we found this one! There were a couple minor glitches during the tutorial game (we couldnt click on one of the dialogue boxes, so we had yo restart the app, but then it was fine; and at the end of the game we had to double click the back button to exit). Other than that the game plays and scores like its supposed to. So Im happy. We love the design, everything looks really nice, and it is intuitive. Its just really enjoyable to play a game when you have 5-10 minutes. You did everything right here developer, thank you.
Great game, but has 2 obvious bugs. 1. When there is remaining movement spaces, if the user picks a Horse, all remaining movement is erased and never gets to be taken (Horse should immediately allow a single movement onto any terrain space and then allow remaining movement). 2. Surrounding the Villages is not getting counted at all in scoring on yellow or red competitive modes. We have surrounded orthogonally and completely and 9 out of 10 times it gets counted as zero points. This is a point loss of 26 points for 3 Villages, so it is a huge bug to have. On brand new iphone with latest OS. Please fix.
The game itself is excellent we expect nothing less from Phil Walker-Harding. Unfortunately most of the game is inaccessible because of a broken login system. We tried using our email address registered with other BSW games, and it always says cant find email. Same goes for our player name. All of their apps have a really confusing login system but this is the first that wont take our email, and wont let you try again without force-killing the app.
This is a great flip and write game, and a great adaptation of that game. Our only complaint is that its not immediately clear that there are more than three goals, and that you have to scroll to see them.
