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.
Update are great
Patch took care of the worst bugs. THANKS!
Found one bug though. During multiplayer game, all Leaders on board have my seal, HOWEVER, two are opponents. Thankfully the “swirl” around my leaders are still there, so I know which are which. Hope to see the fix as quick as last time👍🥰
Solo Play Too Difficult
I want to like this game, but as a new player I find the AI just, relentless. Playing three-person against the computer, the Arrow player always has a copious supply of governors, making it easy for it to overtake everyone else. Like, every single time I play. Am I missing some strategic element, or is the game just that difficult? I mean, I find the game unplayable currently. Arrow cleans me out in like, three moves. Every time, in every mode AI mode.
Good port
undo feature sometimes fails when first move is placing a governor—need to force quit to make turn work.
KISS Principle
Yellow and Yangtze is a great board game, but this app suffers from over production. I found the 3D effects interfered with my ability to assess the board and plan my moves. The animations were annoying. Please consider adding a vanilla option with 2D board and no sounds/animation. This game is too busy; keep it simple!
The Best Board Game ever
Great digital version of the game. So much fun. The Training and Campaign are great ways for new players to learn quickly and efficiently. Glad that it has full casual asynchronous play (3 day limit) as most digital board games do not.
Great fun
I learned how to play through the app and instructions were clear enough that I could hop in but as I play the strategy becomes more and more apparent, good stuff!
Notifications fixed, now the game is literally perfect
Amazingly polished implementation of a fantastic game. Developers are responsive to bug reports too! Get this game, it is incredible.
Beautifully Done
They made this a joy to play. Love the graphics, etc. Can knock out an AI game of three players in fifteen minutes. AI was tough, but now I consistently win about 2/3 of games on hard. Only bug I’ve noticed after 30+ games is that when I have two blue tiles and two green tiles and I’m wanting to move a monument, it only allows me to destroy a tile (peasant revolt) instead. Haven’t found a way around it.

Poor multiplayer
Game is great but when playing multiplayer right now the app isn’t alerting me or my buddies that it’s our turn. It’s making the game unplayable asynchronously. Will adjust scores when it’s working correctly.
Game needs maintenance
Bugs are making the game borderline unplayable. Constantly freezing during tile or leader placement or not registering that you completed your actions. Having to constantly close and reopen the app to redo the same move over again.
