Updated but still needs help

Update 8/13: Another update and the loading hangup switching between games still isn’t fixed :( Update 8/6: upon 10 more plays, everything is not perfect. The screen does a perma-load (LOADING) sometimes and you often need to login back in. I have also noticed +- buttons missing when trying to set tile prices. Lastly, it is sometimes difficult to acquire the tile into your possession. Sometimes only after 3 or 4 tries. Add a double click option to acquire? Thanks Looks like the launch issues were fixed because this played perfect for me. One of the top 5 favorite games that I own. Graphics are true to the physical game, bidding works great, online asynchronous, local, and ai play options make it great. Similar to Patchwork, the game allows you to cycle through your async games quickly. Get this!

Works, sort of . . .

There are a few bugs and glitches. This game hasn't been updated in years. It's pretty much abandonware at this point, so nothing is getting fixed anymore. The glitches and bugs don't bother me as much, nor the slow gameplay. What annoys me the most is the game A.I. Online multiplayer is pretty much not an option, being messy and hard to find a steady game. So I play offline. Easy and medium A.I. are brain dead, so I play against hard. Now this is where I have the problems . First is the A.I. is not trying to win, but make you lose. They will work together to screw you. An example that has happened a few time is I've set my tiles at a high price that none of the A.I. can buy, so the first two A.I. will buy useless tiles from the second two, which allows the second two buy both my tiles. My second problem is the tiles seem to favor the A.I. more. Tiles the A.I. needs have a higher frequency of appearance, while tiles you need have a lower chance of appearing. I don't know if this is real, but it has happened in the majority of games I've played.

I want this so desperately to work

As a huge fan of the tabletop version, I bought this game as soon as it launched and right away found that local games with a guest glitch out into the 2nd round making it impossible to continue the game. Every. Single. Time. It will swap tiles between me and the guest and disallow anyone to place anything. The game itself does not freeze, I can open History or view the rules or menu, but I am barred from continuing on with the game, even with the wrong tiles. Without fail, every time. The game functions fine enough most of the time if I play against just AI (sometimes I cannot drag my tiles onto the board), but I didn’t buy this game to play against predictable AI, nor do I understand this apps focus on online p2p competition. A useless feature as far as I’m concerned. There are few truly multiplayer games for iOS, and with each update I hope this VERY OBVIOUS bug is fixed, because frankly how has anyone on the dev team not tested this feature? If it worked occasionally I could understand the oversight but nearly 6 months on the market and the most important feature doesn’t even work.

Multiplayer needs work.

This game is still very buggy, however most are what I would consider minor inconveniences. By far for me the future of multiplayer will determine if this app stays on my phone, as even the hardest AI no longer presents any challenge. Players no longer taking their turns once they determine they’re having a bad game is the biggest issue. The game takes forever to time out, then literally never disappears from the running games lobby. If a player times out, he/she should be eliminated and the game continued to completion. I also feel that a player’s ranking should be negatively impacted if they time out otherwise there is no reason at all for people to continue if they feel they can’t win. This certainly has potential to be a great great app. I just hope the developers follow through with it.

Developers… do something about it !!

I hope someone from the team look at these reviews and comments and do something about it. Why abandon such a good game?? I found one bug with the game. Sometimes, my tile duplicates and the game forces me to place thr duplicate tile somewhere new, once the tile is dropped on the map, you wont be able to move it and if you dropped it nowhere (not connected to tile in the map, just an unconnected space) it will stay there and you will have to restart the game because that forces me not to complete my action as one my tile is still stuck in the move. Hard to explain this but this happened to at least five times now. Doesnt happen in every game. Also, I recommend adding some expansions to this game.

Bugs bugs and more bugs

This game seems to have been released before it was done baking. I literally had to redownload it 4 times before all the data was visible; the first time I tried to play, most of the graphics were missing from the tutorial, and it was literally impossible to advance said tutorial because the things I was supposed to tap on weren’t present. The next 3 download attempts resulted in several assets missing, notably the description of the scoring tiles. I finally seem to have downloaded all assets and can play local games against AI, but the keyboard never appears when I attempt to enter my asmodae account info, so I can’t log in to play online. Given my disastrous attempts to download to date, I am at best hesitant to redownload again, lest I find myself in a state where I can’t even play locally.

Went from buggy to unplayable with last update.

This app has been pretty buggy from the get-go. The major issue has always been the AI getting hung up requiring a restart of the game in progress to get the AI to do something. This was annoying but somewhat minor since restarting was quick and easy. However, the most recent update has completely broken game saving. Since the AI breaks down in about 95% of the games I play, this means I have about a 5% chance of successfully finishing a game which is unacceptable. I'm not touching it until this is fixed and I will think twice about buying future titles no matter how much I love the game.

Excellent implementation of a wonderful game!

This is a great port of a nice little board game - I had never played the board game much until this came along. The tutorial is good at introducing the main concepts of the game without bashing me over the head with too much stuff. It introduced the basic gameplay and some strategy very well. The game plays fine, I have no idea what other people are talking about, maybe they had earlier editions? The UI is clear and responsive and the game plays very well. Thank you!
