solid digital adaptation

really nice digital version of a solid worker placement legacy game. would be 5 stars if you had the option to create your own map from scratch for single games, but the campaign was fun to play through

No More Online Functionality

With the most recent software update, every time I try to go to the online Lobby the game crashes.

Online play no longer works

Thus game used to be fun until online play stopped working in the middle of a campaign. It is now impossible to log in and play. Has the app been abandoned by the developers?

The Makings of Greatne— [Bug Report]

Overall, great port of a game I really enjoy. It’s got some odd things about the UI but I’ve enjoyed it enough to play 11 games of a solo campaign in the 1.5 weeks since release. BUT it has a lot of bugs and feels like it needed to be much more thoroughly beta tested. My campaign is frozen because I maxed out all Glory on Game 11. I’ve had a one-off game freeze too. The patch lists show the devs are hard at work to fix it, but this game was not ready for a full launch. I’ve helped out with several beta tests, these things should have been caught and weren’t. I’ll gladly revise my review once they get the kinks worked out. There’s a lot of potential that is being wasted due to inadequate testing. I look forward to playing the finished product with friends. Hopefully they release multiplayer campaign mode too.

Cannot Even Use It

Bought to play with my partner, but the game continually restarts every time I enter the Lobby. Would like my money back.

Buggy and unplayable at times

LOVE THIS GAME!

For those unfamiliar, this game is BEST played as a 12 game campaign. It can certainly play as a stand-alone single game, but the full enjoyment (to me) comes from the campaign mode. More on this later... As far as the app, I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about it being buggy and crashing.. I bought this 4th of July weekend and haven’t encountered any bugs or crashing yet. I’ve played a full campaign (12 games) on my iPad mini and was delighted at how smooth it ran. There is a LOT of interactive info on your screen. As mentioned, I’ve been playing on a small tablet but would imagine it’s a bit cramped on a phone screen. Everything on the screen is interactive, but it will be a bit daunting if you’re a new player. They have a tutorial but there is a lot of nuance so I’d recommend reading the rulebook online somewhere. Reviewing the game itself, you can find tons of reviews on Amazon/BGG for the Charterstone Board game that will give you lots of info as to why this is such a great worker placement game. Fun little twists and rule additions throughout the campaign keeps things fresh and fun. The app is particularly great because, unlike playing IRL, the app takes care of all your bonuses. No more “aw man I forgot when I use the green charter I get an extra coin.” The app handles all bonuses and glory/capacity for you; it’s amazing!!!

No More Forever-Offerings to the Forever King!

One of the qualms people have with legacy games, particularly Charterstone, is that you permanently alter the board and components. Even though there are Recharge Packs, it still doesn’t sit right with everyone. Luckily, the digital version is here! No more writing on cards or bending them permanently while you try to peel that sticker off. Get that legacy feel without making Forever-Markings for the Forever King. I haven’t experienced any bugs yet, although I’m only a few games into my first campaign. I highly recommend taking this route to start; jumping into a full map takes away the joy and discovery provided by Charterstone. It’s a great rendition of the physical game, presented in a clean batch of unabashed whimsy. Highly recommended over at Nerds on Earth.

Acram's full catalogue of digital board games are enjoying some reduced prices during the developer's spring sale.
