    Love the strategy and interface. Easy to learn and understand. Purchased the actual board game after playing this app.
  • Bug? Game log stops at final crisis.

    Update to review- thanks for the turn indicator. A new problem is the log stops at the final crisis (at least I've noticed it in my current game wherein the final crisis was triggered by cubes in 2nd turn.). There is, afaik, no way to tell what opponents previous cards were, nor what either of their or your cube moves were. It's really important to be able to see that. 5 star after that gets fixed. Good game but, afaik, there is no way to tell whose turn it is in a multiplayer game. When you play multiple games, it is extremely annoying to go through the games to find the one where is your turn. Also the AI is weaker than I'd have expected. A decent neural net should have been able to make a reasonable AI I'd think.
  • Great game - Needs slight UI work

    Love the game and the implementation. Couple suggestions that would make it 5 stars: • Clear status symbols or text that says who’s turn it is for online play. Tough to decipher from the game lobby screen. • Dragging a Card to play on an iPhone X and above is difficult due to the “swipe up” gesture that closes the app. Cards need to be placed so it is easier to select. Every time you accidentally swipe up, the game has to reload, seems like this should have been caught during play testing.

    Good game, if a little abstract, but the AI is very weak.
  • Excellent

    The AI can be slow, but it is an excellent challenge. No game is a guaranteed win. Well done. Price is a bit high I think.
  • Solid digital version

    This is a smooth implementation of the excellent GMT board game. It plays well and has a fairly intuitive interface. No complaints, I’m enjoying it thoroughly!
