Ratings and Reviews
Crashes a lot on iPad
Great game, well done single and online mode.
But crashes very often on iPad in pass and play multiplayer mode. Thankfully remembers game state and reload is quick.
Game ending crashes on iPad
Another review mentions frequent crashes playing pass and play on iPad. They say it’s annoying but you can quickly open the app and resume. Except… like I just experienced, when pushing resume causes the game to crash again, every time, and your game is completely lost.
Additionally, there is truly terrible logic about how to handle pass and play. This game is 95% synchronous play and you could reduce the number of passes required by half by just being slightly less stupid.
In aggregate, it’s a digital adaption of an otherwise fun game that clearly wasn’t play tested properly and needs many more updates before it deserves a good score. Given it’s twice the price of the race adaption, I find it very hard to recommend.
Excellent implementation of a great board game
A very well done and easy to use user-interface.
