- Various fixes following libraries update
When I started playing the campaign on iPhone5s (with latest iOS), this game ran great. Now I have accumulated just over 1000 rupees, 30 camels, 30 jewels, and unlocked just 3-4 areas on the map in campaign mode. And now, during every other round I play, the game freezes up, usually when I am swiping cards (taking all camels) or when I am trading cards. The game is actually still running. Its just running super dog slow, making it appear as if it is frozen. Its becomes UNPLAYABLE. Once in a while it WILL completely freeze. This is inexcusable and should be fixed asap. So Jaipur digital game DEVELOPERS; instead of passing me off to Asmodee help and giving me a link, can YOU folks just fix this issue. Its obviously a memory leak that starts to choke up the animation/gameplay after you progress in the campaign. Pretty LAME. Its now basically unplayable. And PLEASE JAIPUR DEVELOPER, why dont you add solo win/loss records to your digital games? I have NEVER seen any SOLO WINS/LOSSES VS AI in any digital Asmodee games. Doe they some grudge about this? WHY WHY WHY DO THE DEVELOPERS OF THE ASMODEE DIGITSL GAMES OMIT THIS? You are trackinf total camels, gold coins, one of the achievements shower how many wins I have. So why not SHOW TOTAL WINS/LOSSES somewhere?
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.
I think I like the art on the app better than the board game art. Very fun. Personally I haven't had any trouble exiting a game and coming back to it later (I've only done campaign mode.) Works fine on phone, although it does take a chunk of storage and significant battery power to play, that's less of a problem on iPad. I love the variations on the rules in campaign mode and the side stories. I read some of the less positive reviews and apart from acknowledging a few bugs I didn't have any serious problems. I found the hard AIs harder but definitely not unbeatable. You can get a lot of satisfying play out of the game.
What is the point in playing a game at all if you can’t finish it????!!! Apparently if you pause at all, or if your phone runs out of battery then you lose EVERYTHING! Was really enjoying this game at first, but near the end of the 3rd round - it completely crapped out and lost everything. So despite how enjoyable it COULD be, it’s insanely frustrating to try to use this to get away from the hell that is life for a minute, only for it to say “psyche!” and pull the rug out from under you at the last minute. Don’t put out a game on an app, that is obviously going to have to be put down now and then (which is supposed to be the benefit of having it on the app - versus boardgame version - that you can supposedly pick it up and put it down as needed) and have it NOT CAPABLE of SAVING your progress or even remember you were playing a game in the first place!!!!!!
This game is very fun, the interactive tutorial is great, and the interface for playing the game is easy to use! Kudos to the developers. My biggest complaint is that you cannot close the app and continue a Pass and Play game later. As soon as the app closes, you need to start a brand new game over when playing with another person. Unfortunately the app just recently froze on us (which rarely ever happens), so we lost our 10 minutes of progress into the game.
This was an extremely well implemented app that worked well for the last six months. Maybe the developer hasn’t bothered to test the games performance with the new iOS updates or they’re reducing budget on the online server, but the game now frequently crashes when attempting to play with my spouse. We are both connected to excellent WiFi coverage. Disappointing. Initially, I would’ve rated this a five star app. Edit - It is November and the crash issue has not been resolved (unfortunately). I do not recommend buying it has been fixed.
Edit: Well darn. After a day or so I get the complaints. This app needs an update. It crashes fairly easily when trying to move between apps during a game. Don’t really understand the lower score here. Jaipur is a fantastic simple card game and this digital implementation is as good as I could ask. They even made a campaign mode, which was a nice extra. Definitely recommend the app and especially the physical game itself.
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.
