I felt like playing some Caravan and I was wondering what would show up if I had looked for Caravan on the app store, then this showed up, which was a big surprise for me. So naturally I downloaded and played the game, which didn’t disappoint, because it plays exactly like it’s instructed in the guide book! Well almost, Joker doesn’t discard all the suits of an ace card like it’s supposed to. It does reflect that originally you weren’t supposed to be able to discard cards in the beginning, which doesn’t show in Fallout: New Vegas when you’re able to discard as many cards as you like instead of shuffling because of possible glitches, but it does show in this game as it instead shuffles when you have no numerical cards. I wish it wouldn’t randomly crash as much on hard difficulty, but overall it’s a lot of fun!

I wish I could build my own decks, I also wish jokers on aces worked the right way, I also wish I could use face cards on the cards I want easily. It’s really hard to put it on the right card! I would give it 3-stars as it’s not really the same game totally, but it’s 4 stars because I respect that someone took the time to make a caravan app and I think that’s awesome.

Caravan is a two person card game created specifically for the role playing game Fallout: New Vegas. It’s a card game I really enjoy, but until now, the only way to play it was to own the video game. With Caravan Cards it’s now possible to conveniently play Caravan on one’s iPad/iPhone.The app features a video instruction tutorial as well as written rules of the game. These should be enough to give new players a basic understanding of how Caravan is played. Ultimately the only way to learn the game is to keep playing hands until the you’re comfortable with the basic concepts and game play. There are also plenty of other instructions manuals online that will fill in any knowledge gaps.Dragging and dropping cards is smooth and easy in Caravan Cards. I recommend using a thin stylus for accuracy and best visibility of the caravans. There’s a great vintage music track to accompany play and three difficulty levels. Players have the ability to modify their card deck for best advantage. In-app purchasing opportunities consist of buying additional strategic card packs to improve one’s chances of winning.Those familiar with the FNV version have discovered that this game diverges in a couple of ways. The joker is used differently and the game allows for deadlocks, which should not happen. However, the fact is there are no “official” rules for Caravan. People can create variations to suit their whims, so I don’t think developer MHCP has to "fix" the game to conform with the RPG version. Caravan Cards is enjoyable just the way it is. If you’ve never played Caravan but like fun and challenging card games, give this free app a try.

I love Caravan, always have - probably always will.Most of my friends don’t know how to play it so having this app has been a godsend to help explain how the game is played, additionally gives me something to kill time. Removing ads was a one time purchase and was super cheap as well, so I’m quite grateful for that. Even if I hadn’t removed the ads, they weren’t too intrusive.I have two issues with this app that knock it down from a 5 for me.1. The multiplayer is broken, it’s been broken since I’ve downloaded the app and I have no idea if this will ever be fixed. I’d very much like to play it with my friends over the phone but not sure I’ll ever be able to.2. Screenlock occurs once you’ve opened the app. It locks into a horizontal view but also blocks your ability to swipe up to exit the app, so the only way to exit (that I’ve found so far) is to swipe down and -hope- that you have a random push notification to click to pull you out of the app. Otherwise you need to restart your phone per use.Assuming these issues aren’t just user error on my part, they’re pretty critical to the normal enjoyment of this app. But it’s worth noting this is the only (and a pretty decent version) Caravan app that I could find. If Caravan is your game; I’d still suggest trying it out.
