Some messages are cut off at the bottom of the screen, and the “dialog” window is hidden behind the main board game window, so I’m not sure how I’m supposed to read half of the messages on the screen. The game seems awesome! Just wish I could play it.Update: Restarting the app seems to have fixed the display issue. Now I just wish it supported landscape orientation. Overall the game is good fun.

Silmaris is a well-written, beautifully illustrated strategy game that interweaves its systems with an excellent choose-your-own-adventure narrative. The story is delivered in a procedural and modular fashion, making it very replayable.Resource management is simple (handled with dice) but adds the right mix of complexity and challenge. Your choices — what you can do in the story sections, and which goals to pursue on the map — are dependent on having capital to spend in any of five resource categories (war, diplomacy, wisdom, exploration, and spying).This is a unique and highly polished game, well worth the asking price. It has strong King of Dragon Pass energy but carves its own path. Give it a chance!

Easy to pick up and start but deep enough to keep you playing for a long while. There are lots of ways to approach different events with surprising and interesting results. I didn’t expect much when I downloaded this; it was a real pleasant surprise. If you like games where you make choices that matter, and where there are several valid ways to approach different challenges, don’t miss this one.

The game is written beautifully and is very reminiscent of a D&D type experience. Yet it involves the story of a kingdom rather than just a singular character. All choices have an extremely interesting effect on the rest of the game. I don’t know if anything can really be added, but am very excited to see more content.
