Description

** WARNING: iPad 2, iPad Mini 1 & iPhone 4S are not compatible. ** *** Review - 4/5 - "strategically satisfying" "definitely a card game worth picking up"*** 148Apps *** Review - 4/5 - "Jaipur, the latest weapon in Asmodee's war to conquer all of mobile board gaming." "A ten-year old classic brought back to life on mobile. A great fit, and a great port."*** PocketTactics A Spiel des Jahres Recommended game, Jaipur is one of the most most well-loved 2-player tabletop games. Jaipur is a fast-paced card game for two players with a blend of tactics, risk and luck. You are one of the most powerful traders in Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. You and your opponent duel to demonstrate to the Maharajah that you can earn a greater profit than your competition. At the end of a round, one player receives the Maharajah's seal of excellence, and the first player to earn two seals of excellence wins the privilege of being invited to the Maharajah’s court! Each turn, you can choose to take one card, exchange your cards for other goods, buy the camels needed to transport your wares, or sell at the market. The sooner you sell and the more you sell of a single good at once, the higher your profit. If you take cards, you have to choose between taking all the camels, taking 1 card from the market or swapping 2 to 5 cards between the market and your cards. If you sell cards, you get to sell only one type of good per turn, and you get as many chips from that good as you sold cards. The chips’ values decrease as the game progresses, but you get increasingly high rewards for selling sets of 3, 4, or 5 cards of the same good at a time, so it’s all about waiting just the right amount of time to make your trade. You can’t sell camels, but they are integral to trading and they’re also worth a little something at the end of the round, sometimes enough to secure the win so use them smartly! In this digital adaptation of the award-winning card game, find a comprehensive interactive tutorial and an extensive campaign mode. Solo play is available at three levels of difficulty. Play online 2 player cross-platform or locally in pass & play mode. Track your achievements within the app and use your Asmodee Digital account to sign on.  Enjoy beautiful illustrations by Vincent Dutrait.

  • Better than expected!

    As a big fan of the physical game, the low app ratings deterred me initially. Happily, I overcame my trepidation and was rewarded with a beautiful, faithful, feature-rich digital experience. The campaign took roughly 25 hours for me to complete. While certainly challenging it was never repetitive. Several gameplay variants, characters, and quests engaged me as a player. Even on my tiny 4.7in screen the Dutrait art shines. The music, backgrounds, and sound effects are all immersing. Animations do not hinder or distract from gameplay. Disappointing that as of this review the rating is below 3 stars. The app is cheaper and better than its real life counterpart product.
  • Great game, app needs repair

    I’ve had this app for years and played it a ton. Unfortunately, recently the app has been crashing mid-game, not always but often enough I don’t feel like it’s worth starting a game. Please fix the app!
  • One of the best!

    I hope this game sticks around for a long time because it’s just perfect. Complex enough to be endlessly strategic while being simple enough not to be overwhelming. Great and colorful graphics as well.
  • Campaign game is trash

    I really like the stand-alone solo games. The artwork is nice, and everything plays smoothly. But the campaign game is frustrating trash. To advance, you’ll eventually have to win in provinces where trading is “hard”. And they're hard because the game cheats. You will get mainly low-ranking cards to pick from. Your computer opponent will get mainly high-ranking cards to pick from. I’ve played dozens of “hard” games. They’re all rigged the same. I’m now at the point where l can almost predict what cards will come out. Leather and Tea cards for me. Gold and Diamond cards for the AI.
  • Excellent

    I wish all digital board game versions were done this well. Great graphics, thematic music, and a smooth and intuitive interface. There’s even a single player story mode. Love it. Keep up the good work.
  • Keeps crashing

    Tried two pass and play games. Both crashed when exchanging for camels. No means to continue game following a crash. Tragic failure of an otherwise viable app.
  • Try again

    I skipped over this game originally because of some of the comments and I don’t think it was ready. I picked it up again about a month ago and my wife and I have been playing it a lot. Can you please exactly like the physical game it is much easier to reset! I found no issues at all and it said many times now.
  • Crashes and bugs — unplayable!

    Four games out of five crashed mid game. The other one didn’t let a player take a legal move, causing a loss.
  • Great for solo play

    Awesome game turned into a fun app, except for the fact that it crashes when trying to play online, so if you want to play anybody besides the AI, it needs fixing.
  • Game Crashes during online play, and you can’t reconnect

    When playing online, the game crashes and then replaces you opponent with a bot, and when you restart the app you can’t get back into the game.
