Good solid implementation of the game. Wish it had a few minor details like being able to speed up animations and place enemies

So far, as brilliant an app as is the board game! Great fun, saves your state if you need to leave mid-game, has some trophy challenges, and you can compete with high score against other players; though this can require the expansion on some weeks for full disclosure. Has a list of your scores as well, so you can always work at bettering your own scores. While I do prefer the actual game, this is a great way to play if you don't have access to a sharp pencil and the pads.

Excellent adaptation of the tabletop game! Would give 5 stars but needs online competitive mode. Also needs optimization to deal with the task bar on tablets in Android 8 - currently the task bar covers the bottom of the game UI, so I can't see which terrain I have chosen. 'Sagrada' hides the task bar in full-screen mode - this app needs to do the same.

Scoring system seems off (subtracts dozens of points at the very end for each round and doesn't explain why. Last game I had a score of 63 after 4 rounds, but the final scoresheet put me at -30), otherwise a well done and interesting game.

The UI bugs are one thing. But when I tried to play it today, it said "This week the game mode is only playable with the expansion", which, of course, needs to be bought separately. Are you kidding me? I already paid for the base game, and now it won't let me play? LOL, greedy bastards.

Needs multiplayer. The board game is 1-100 players but online app is solo! It would be much better if devs created multiplayer or way to invite friends to game, especially for a paid game.
★★☆☆☆Claire Richter (ClaireRae)· Jun 3, 2023
Unfortunately pretty buggy. My previously played games don't ever end up in the high score area. Clicking on the scoring cards to check their descriptions sometimes ends with the description freezing on my screen and not leaving, making it, so I'm unable to click anywhere else or place tiles, and I have to close out of the app and start the game over. That said, it is still fun to play just for the sake of playing, but I do wish there was a pass and play version.

There's an offset between where I tap and where a square is selected very annoying and makes the game basically unplayable
