Fun game but some small improvements would make app better

This is a fun little set collecting, pick and pass game for two players. There’s not a ton of variability to the cards so it likely won’t become an all time favorite. But the small number of cards makes it easy to learn while the variability with the three ages and requirement to keep and trash one card each round adds to the replay ability. One small change to the app would, I think, be a big improvement, especially for newer players. It would be great to be able to pause after the points are totaled each round so that you can see what cards scored which points. As it is, the points are scored for each card and then that screen immediately goes away, there’s no way to review what scored and what didn’t. This makes seeing the impact of trying out different strategies and understanding how points were scored much more difficult. Also, the AI ratings don’t seem to be consistent. The “medium” difficulty seems much easier than the “easy” difficulty AI. Adjusting so that the “easy” AI truly is easy would, again, be more helpful and less frustrating to less experienced players.

Great game but

Been playing to a long time. After resetting the game and starting from scratch I notice that the game character will win and get points when it shouldn't. I’ve noticed it mainly when I use the King’s Nest. In the beginning levels I win ties. In the higher levels the game wins. It even managed to get a 130+ points but me having the King’s nest should of prevented anything past 50. Has anyone come across this?

Has potential but now it’s a disaster

‘Put on card’ evidently means ‘play card’. The tutorial is nonsense in English. Just don’t even try to go through it. Just download the pdf rules and read that to acquaint yourself with the game play. On an iPhone 7 it works ok but on the iPad the left and right most cards you must tap and hold then drag slightly up to view the entire card. Makes one wonder if any testing was actually done on on iPad. Major oversight. Most could learn the cards and how scoring works if they didn’t show the results screen immediately after scoring takes place. Let the scoring show and let us click on the cards. The. At the bottom let us push the right arrow to continue to the results screen. This would almost eliminate the need for the tutorial which doesn’t make sense in English. Polish I’m sure is great but that doesn’t help an English speaker. But the most egregious of all is you must be ONLINE to play this game which doesn’t even have online game play. I will seek a refund for sure if this isn’t corrected within a week or so if unable to play offline. I can’t play on the subway, on a train, on a bus or wherever. Absolutely ridiculous for requiring online to play this game. 2019 seems we’re regressing. We’ve must’ve hit the pinnacle in app development.

Terrible A.I.

I’m learning the game, so I’ve played several games against the Easy AI. It has crushed me each time so far, in ways that seem unfairly skewed. The AI player regularly gets dealt cards at the beginning of the round that allow it to score huge bonuses on the final play of the round. An example: on the very final card of the Golden Age, the AI player had 0 points and I was winning the round and overall. He played the final card and scored 53 points on a single play! That level of planning ahead and combos sure doesn’t seem like “easy” AI. It also doesn’t help that I never seem to get dealt these same combo cards at the beginning of rounds, so I’m always forced to score small sets of points here and there. Not fun or rewarding.

Good but missing features

Would be much better with online play. It’s also important to be able to review your entire kingdom when keeping/eliminating cards. The cards you kept from rounds 1 and 2 are not visible and they’re useful for making decisions.

Fun, great visuals

Cool game, great visuals on this digital version. I appreciate how quickly the developer updated the app to fix the online problem and strengthen the tutorial. I’m also happy with the AI, which so far is beating me on medium. Recommendations: -put the actual rule book somewhere in the game -have a card gallery so we can appreciate all the amazing artwork (this is a common problem with digital board games) -somehow make it so we can look at the score breakdown between rounds. Right now it shows it quickly and then totals the score up. I want to be able to study where the points came from before moving on the next round.

Cards too small on iPhone

This looks like an interesting game but it only plays in landscape mode on iPhone and the writing and symbols on the cards are way too small to read (even when zoomed) on my iPhone 11. This might work better on iPad or a larger screen phone but on mine, it’s basically unplayable.

Good tutorial + easy to play

The app is polished. The tutorial is a great way to learn the game. Once you get through the tutorial the gameplay is just smooth as you would expect it like the physical card game!
