Cascadia Digital 4+

Great implementation of a great game

I've been playing this almost non-stop for the last 3 days. Terrific implementation with a good user interface. I love the variety of options included. Although online multiplayer is included, I rarely play online, so I was thrilled to see the many solo challenges and options. For this to be such a new released, I've been very impressed with how stable the game has been. I've encountered a brief server interruption a couple of times, but it's always been brief and reconnected quickly. If you have a compatible iPad, it's highly recommended.

The spatial puzzle-like nature of Cascadia lends itself particularly well to solo play, so we wanted to make sure we provided lots of options for offline players! We're happy to hear you're enjoying it, and thank you for playing!

A Near Perfect Port of a Great Game

If you love playing Cascadia, this is a lovely way to do so. I’ve been playing it daily. Surprisingly, it falls into more of a zen puzzle experience for me then some other digital board games. Pass and play is implemented well. So it is also a great way to get a quick game of Cascadia in without the setup/put-away of the actual game.

My minor criticisms are the following. At least on older iPads (like mine), the battery drain is worse than a vampire at an all-you-can-eat-human-buffet. Caught me by surprise. Would be great if Dire Wolf worked out a way to turn off some of the particle effects and such.

Another thing that would likely be too much a lift at this point of the release, after scoring has concluded, a way to review how each thing scored on each board. That feels like a missed opportunity for those that can struggle with how to score some of the more complicated animal variants.

That said, I still get about 2 rounds of the game in a day worth the money and the battery headaches.
