Friendly suggestion to the creators.

I love the game and play it with my friends daily. Being able to go collect goodies on their boards to better your own and leave heart of gold cards for them is amazing. But I feel it would make the game better if you could gift your friends gems once a day. I feel many other people would agree and love the surprise of finding new gems in theirbank from friends. Please take my suggestion into consideration as it would make the world of board kings that much more friendly and loving.
Sincerely. A loyal player

I guess I was too quick to judge

About a year ago I downloaded Board Kings and I didn’t really understand it. I also didn’t give myself to understand it, I just deleted it.
A few weeks ago I decided to try again, and now that I understand what’s going on, I’m totally addicted. I’ve played other somewhat similar games, and I love that the pricing to buy in-game content, is in-line with it being a game for entertainment. What I mean is, the other games seem to be trying to convince me I’m actually paying for something I can keep and want to charge me prices that are outrageous…in comparison, $5 buys you less than 100 rolls on that app. So I was ecstatic to see that the pricing is more in line with paying a little bit extra for entertainment, because that’s all I’m getting from it. That’s the primary reason why I have spent a decent amount of money on Board Kings while I’ve never paid a cent on the other game at all.
All in all I think the game is great, I think there is still room to add onto it and improve of course, but that is a good thing. You always want room to grow. For now I’m just glad I gave the game a second try, and now I have something to take me away from the stresses I’m currently living with. Thanks!

Great Game

An amazing game, the in game purchases are always a good deal too! I’m always jumping around at different games but I always come back to board kings, love it!

Long term player

I’ve been playing this game for at least a good 6/7 years now and have always loved it. Even willing to spend $$ here and there… I know taking over a game as new developers must be difficult but I’ve noticed recently that goals to achieve prizes is always going up and down (I.e collecting 15 green coins for grand prize on jackpot to now recently having to collect 33)
I don’t know if they’re trying to figure out the algorithm as to what works best, but as a player it feels like the goals are borderline unachievable… thus encouraging players to want to spend money to reach said goals. It makes the game feel pay to win :( and I’ve felt this game has always had been a good chance/luck of the draw kinda fun!
I still recommend playing, some updates are definately just much better than others!
I really hope the developers manage to find the middle ground and continue to keep this game going 💕

GG

This game is really good. I hope you can do an update like if there’s any bosses in this game if they were, I want to keep on playing steel with the board game and this is a great game. I think everyone should download it even your creators and maybe do special events we could possibly have superhero’s or different movies or different anime characters in the special event like my heroes of academia or one punch man or even Marvel, characters or villains, heroes and villains for special event so I hope you do the best event of this game from Legoexplain

Great Game! But I have some requests.

This is overall a great game. I would definitely recommend it and give it 5 stars. I love how I can visit my friends boards. However, I do have some requests. I don’t know if this is possible, but there is already an option where you can sign in with Facebook. It would be nice if there were other options, for example: Instagram or Snapchat. It would be nice, because as a younger person, I’m not into Facebook. I also enjoy collecting the card packs. On the other hand, when it switches to a new card pack set, I lose all my extra cards. So, it would be nice if my extra cards would automatically be transferred into rolls instead of I just lose them. One last thing is it would be great to add another mini game. I had just an idea that it would be fun to have some type of claw machine to earn more dice because sometimes I find myself running out of dice rather quickly. It would of course be it’s own tile and look different than the mini game tile. When landing on the tile, it would be cool if it took you to a claw machine where you can wager diamonds for more rolls. Or it could be free, but with a harder chance of landing on the tile. For example, it could appear only a couple hours a day at random, making it a harder chance to land on. I personally think this would be a fun addition to the game.

Money gouging

I’ve had this game on and off for a while now and it has changed a lot since I first downloaded it. It’s turned into a game that is only out for your money. You’d think the higher you get, the easier it gets to get rewards, or the more rewards you’d get but that’s not always the case. If you don’t pay money it’s almost impossible to get the good rewards through mini games or daily challenges, and every time you do make a purchase the prices go up bc they know you’ll spend the money. I used to love this game but now it’s not as fun bc I can never get anything good. Same with the card packs, i always get duplicates and when i try to trade with friends they also have the same duplicate cards as me. There are also a ton of in game ads in the beginning that want you to make a purchase and they deliberately take a long time, i have to skip through at least 5 different ads just to be able to play the game and it won’t let you do anything until you look at them all. I know I’ve only put complaints, but overall it is a fun game and if you don’t care that it’s only based on luck then go for it. I just wish they made the game less about taking my money and more about giving me a fun experience.

Board Kings> monopoly go

I have been playing this game for years and one thing i realised from trying Monopoly Go, is that Board kings devs actually care about their game and community and don’t see us as money grabbers like monopoly to.

This game receives frequent updates and is very playable without spending money, I haven’t spent a only $5 on this game yet it wasn’t even needed, because it’s very easy to become the best if you know what you are doing. Love this game

Good game, predatory nature

It’s a shame I need to write this because it is a really good idle game that I enjoy playing, though it’s predatory nature is so clear to see that I don’t want to play this game anymore, every single time you play you are constantly bombarded with options to pay to the point I fully believe you could accidentally buy something. The old gem premium currency was easy to obtain and you could pay to get more which is fair enough but the new one is constantly trying to pressure you to buy more. Really wish there was a free alternative version of this game, where the developers made a great game because they love their work not because they love their money

Addicting… but not worth buying the bonus packs

Really enjoy this game, it is kind of addicting, especially as someone who loves board games. However, it seems that in the last year or so they have adjusted how many items it takes to reach the goals to win the big prizes. They used to be relatively attainable, however they now seem like unless you are buying numerous packages you will never make it to the chest and unlock the big prize. Additionally, they have changed their card packs. It seems like I very rarely get any cards with 4+ stars on it, which again makes it next to impossible to get all of the cards in the series and win the big prize. It used to be that the higher the multiplier for rolls the card pack got larger in terms of stars, that no longer seems to be the case.
Overall, it seems like they are trying to get people to buy the packs from the store, which even if you buy you are paying $2-$4 and not even getting enough to again, get you to the prize. Wish they would recalculate their algorithm or something.
Last thing, I wish that once I viewed the ads, they would no longer pop up when I open the app, it takes FOREVER to get through all the pop ups and actually play. I am busy and when I have a few minutes to play a game, I don’t want to spend it clicking out of advertisements.
