Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Overall, fairly well-polished app. The music is great as is the voice acting. Pass and play works well. We've been able to chat with the devs and they seem pretty responsive. There were some bugs with the AI, but the devs continue to push updates that improve the game. Devs, please add the other cards as they become available! We would be happy to pay :).
This game is beyond fun! Our SO and we love the actual game but this port is wonderful and makes our lives easier – though the actual game is easy to setup and play, the digital port makes things even easier. The game includes the expansion cards, which makes the replay even more fun. This is a great game to play in ~5-10 minutes and is very easy to learn. Thank you John and his digital port team for doing such a wonderful job on this implementation.
Really fun game, but the CPU is not very challenging. Also, it freezes at times due to a couple of glitches. Hopefully those issues will be improved with a future release. Would also be nice to play real opponents online.
This release crashes, gets the wrong number of characters on screen, ignores rules, etc. Many bugs that weren't in the initial release are in this version. We normally do not write negative reviews, but this seems like it was not even tested. At least half of our games with this release have had a critical bug during play. This may eventually be a four-star app, but it's almost unplayable about half the time now. The underlying game is a great filler, and we hope to play it many times after it is patched.
Great game. They go by so fast though! It would be nice to increase the level of difficulty, such as increasing the width of the board or requiring more than three congregates. Either way, we really enjoyed playing and will continue to do so! Good job on the app.
It's basically unplayable unless you have played the analog version. Even then, there are things lacking like an Undo button. If we could get a tutorial and some basic Quality of Life stuff, we would 5 star this easy.
