  • Great app based on a great solo card game.

    Have a physical copy of this game as well. The app is a good implementation that is true to the original. Have played this hundreds of times, and still find it challenging and fun.

    “ Finished” from the same game designer is also excellent. Both take a lot of plays to get to a point where you win on a regular basis. Finished is probably a bit harder to get good at.

  • I can’t play this

    Please please do an update for this app. I can’t get past the sign in screen. Everything moves up so I can only see the bottom of the screen.
  • Thank Crunchie it'sFriday

    Once you know what's going on, it's really quite addictive. Fortnightly King Of The Island tournaments are a great idea too.
  • Love the Game, Tolerate the App

    First, I’m glad I have the app. It allows me to play this challenging game in a wide variety of situations. I have countless hours into the game at this point, thanks to the app. That’s the good. Now for the not so good.
    1) developer support is non-existent. I’ve contacted them many times about the following issues without a single acknowledgement.
    2) The app cannot seem to understand how to use a single account between two iOS devices. I’ve been unsuccessful in using the same account between tablet and phone.
    3) Tablet support is lackluster. It does not rotate for using a tablet in landscape mode.
    4) The app is very buggy on iOS when leaving the app with a new or continuing game in progress. Many times when launching the app again, there are programming errors displayed and you eventually just have to abort the game.

    Attempts to get action on these bugs and issues have fallen of deaf ears.

    If I didn’t enjoy the game itself so much, I would have deleted this app a year ago, given these issues and lack of support. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was the balance of 5 stars for the game and 1 star for app bugs/lack of support.

  • Excellent game, needs better tutorial

    I had never played the physical version before, so I was coming in as a newbie with this app.

    The game itself is definitely one of the best solo card games out there. It’s excellent. It’s also very challenging, and it takes quite a while to figure out how to win, even on the easy level (which isn’t exactly easy). Plus some luck is involved as with all solitaire games, so things have to line up right for you to win.

    If you’ve played the game before, you’ll figure out the app easier than someone like me who didn’t know how to play. Even then, it’ll take you a few plays before you figure out the UI, as even with the limited help the UI is not intuitive.

    If you haven’t played the game before, you’ll have to watch videos online and visit some game user forums. That was the only way I could figure out how to play. That’s why I docked one star; there is no real tutorial.

    Still, now that I figured it all out, it was worth it. This is a very cool game. I lose way more than win, even on easy, but it’s still very fun to play, and it feels really satisfying when you do win.

    Thank you developer for making this game and also monetizing it fairly with no ads or IAP. That’s rare nowadays and very, very much appreciated.

    I highly recommend this game with caveats about the UI learning curve. Stick with it. You’ll end up loving this game.

  • Good when you can’t have the real game

    I love this card game so I’m probably biased. This is my go to time killer when I need a game to fill a couple minutes. Updates have fixed some early issues. Everyone who loves solo board games should own this one.
  • Best board game app!!!!

    This game never gets old. Be aware that if you don’t know anything about deck builders this might confuse the crap out of you at first. This game is super challenging and fun! I’m pretty good at it and I still only win 1/3 games. I like that in a game. Keeps you on your toes. Another great win by Friedemann Friese!!!

  • Needs tutorial

    Once you know how to play this is a great app but there is minimal explanation as to what to do and playing through it a couple times doesn’t seem to help. I had to watch a YT video to figure out how to play and now it’s super fun. Brutally hard but the physical game is notorious for being insanely difficult. Poor Robinson just wants to fight the pirates and get home to his family!

  • Fun

    As good as the board game.
  • I can FINALLY access the leaderboards!

    This latest update has, for the first time in YEARS, let me access the leaderboards!

    Hold on, how do I register my email address? They mention something about adjusting it in Settings, but I see nowhere to enter an email.
