★★★★★Fantastic implementation of a great boardgame
There’s a lot of great boardgames that have miserable ports to digital. This one is great. Easy to use. Great visuals and music which enhance the game and don’t slow it down. If you don’t like it, chances are its because you really don’t understand how to play. There’s a video walkthrough of this app. Give it a try.
★★★★☆Excellent but with a major (but not fatal) design flaw
I love this straightforward implementation of one of my favorite board games. App is attractive and works well EXCEPT that the tiles are key at the bottom of my screen, which means that half the time I try to slide a tile onto the board, my iPhone thinks I’m trying to switch apps. Could the tiles please be placed on the side or something?? Maybe in a corner? Very frustrating.
★★★★★Best game, but needs online assistance
Devs, this game is amazing. The best, but it’s unplayable online. Sometimes, when I go to place a tile, the tile will get stuck in mid air, and basically freezes the whole game until a bot takes me over “for taking to long on my turn”. And then, so I’m forced to quit the game and when I come back, there’s no option to join back in. This needs fixing as I haven’t been able able to complete a single game online
★★★★★My new favorite digital board game
This game is a Blast! So much fun. I love the combination of abstract game, with subtle strategy needed to win(& which fits the China theme so well). The basic concepts are simple, but winning takes some thinking. The graphics and sound are fantastic. Dire Wolf does it again and I have to say, for me this is even better than Raiders of the North (which is also fantastic!) The Only thing I can say I’d like fixed is to have the ability to hide the banner with scenario goal at top right which takes
★★★☆☆Really needs an open scoring option and a log of moves.
I loathe Knizia's decision to keep scoring hidden. Many feel similarly, which is why the T&E app has it as an option. The game just isn't as fun without that info so I'm docking the review quite a bit. 5 stars if they add that option and a log.
