Very buggy app
Sat Jul 05 2025 EnDaharThe gameplay is pretty good as this is a rather simple game but the app is so buggy it just makes it annoying. I’ve had: - the game be offset from where you click. In other words when I touched a spot in the screen, it would activate something two spots down (making the game near impossible to play). - when in the middle of a puzzle with special rules, if I had to go do something and the phone shut off, when I came back to the game the special rules part would have disappeared and the point system didn’t work. - now it’s just telling me I’m offline and can’t log in or register at all. My only option for play is the green gam and not yellow or red puzzles.
The monsters are ridiculous
Wed Jan 05 2022 Ray, Ray, RayWhen I play with the physical game and the cards are truly random, I very rarely get more than one monster in a row or two per game. Occasionally, but not almost every time. It ruins the game. Sometimes 3 in a row, usually the last round. Sometimes early on… You either spend the majority of the game working around the monsters or they all come in the last round where you don’t have time to do anything. Complained about this a year ago. Forgot I had the game, started playing again and was reminded how bad it was. I see that others have complained about it too. It would be great if it weren’t for the monsters being so ridiculously over done… the other thing that happens a lot is getting ruins spaces right after the monsters where you can’t fill in the spaces properly: Randomly and Occasionally would be fine but this is almost every game. Also, a true option for multiplayer would be appreciated. I wonder if the developers even pay attention to our pleas given that the same concerns are echoed over and over.
A pretty decent solo experience
Wed Jan 14 2026 Rgs38Cartographers is one of my favorite board games and I was so pumped to see an app version! It’s not the smoothest user experience (every time I have to re-log in it’s a struggle), and there are some features that would be nice additions or help with some quality of life, but overall, it’s not bad. The game is fun, the way the shapes show up when you click around the screen are helpful, and I’ve gotten to practice some strategies I wouldn’t normally think about for the next time I play the board game with friends. I hope that there are plans to add some of the other expansions/maps to the game. I play a few rounds on my commute and would love some more variety and challenge.
Love the game. The app needs a little work
Mon Aug 24 2020 Charoco71Not a horrible implementation, but there a couple of issues. #1. There seems to be an issue with the randomization. It seems like about 80% of the time, the first monster card to be drawn is the three diagonal one, or otherwise it’s the one with two separate rectangles. I almost never see on of the other two unless I get three monsters in a game. #2. If there is a way to quit a game in the middle, I haven’t found it. I have to quit the app and restart. #3. Along that line, if I accidentally quit the app, there’s no option to resume a previously started game. #4. Some of the trophies don’t seem to work - I’ve definitely completed all 16 tasks but don’t have that trophy.
Love this game
Wed Dec 14 2022 McMallyHuge fan of the board game, probably my favorite of all time. This app is awesome for bringing that to life in the palm of hand anywhere I go now (still better when playing with others but this scratches the itch). The game is great, the UI is amazing, and this just embodies all that is awesome about this game. I have one thing though, heroes don’t seem to count as a terrain type for some of the classic objectives. Could fix this by playing with the heroes only objectives but figured it should be backwards compatible. Otherwise fantastic and looking forward to online play!
Very good game
Wed Sep 25 2024 WRS15743Looks like bugs have been fixed, so I downloaded the app again, and I’m glad I did. It works very well. It’s challenging but still peaceful to play, just the right amount of tension. Definitely one of my favorite solo board game apps. It’s awesome when you get a high score, you feel like you really achieved something. All for a great price with no ads or IAP, and a small file size, and it’s good on battery too. Thank you developer for doing things right and keeping it updated. It’s very appreciated. I download your game Friday too. Also very good. Thank you!
Awful Sound design
Thu Oct 26 2023 ConvicsikThe app functions from a gameplay standpoint but this app has the most laughable sound design I’ve ever experienced, to the point it makes the game unenjoyable. First off, there is no background music or ambience. When something triggers in the game it will play these really bad audio samples that don’t fit the theme of the game at all and we’re clearly bought or resourced from a generic music collection. The worst offender which is lol hilarious is the music that plays when points are being counted, which for some bizarre reason is like a foreboding synth wave track that sounds like it came from a 1980s B rate slasher movie. Like why would you play that music for scoring lol. Very amateur effort. Would not recommend.
Excellent Gameplay with confusing rewards
Sun Oct 25 2020 VarianorI have played this for three weeks solid. The implementation is excellent and the app works well. I really like the yellow and red options for the puzzles along with the leaderboards. Everything is clear, colorful and I like the intuitive rotation. There are some bugs that could use attention: *music stops typically midway through a game *leaderboards don’t register - example today I reached a score of 60 on red (cards and goals fixed) and it hasn’t registered - and I got scores of 57, 56 and 55 before that which didn’t register either *no explanation of how to achieve several goals - Example: defend against all monsters; I’ve played multiple times to try to gain but the achievement is still greyed out so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong *10 Guild Achievement appears broken since I’ve played daily and (I think) gotten well above this. (25 Guild could be as well but I am pretty sure I need this one first?)
