Fun and quick
I enjoyed the physical card game. This implementation captures all the fun with none of the mess of setting up, tracking life with tokens, and putting it all away. It is just as challenging as the original but you can whip through the games to put your losses behind you.
I have encountered a couple scenarios where I tried to take ab illegal action. Usually it recovers, but at the end of the game once (I was losing to the final pirate and tried to cheat) it hung the game. But otherwise it is smooth gameplay that tries hard not to let you forget to take advantage of your potential on the board.Show lessdrjah69
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.Gamrdad

Some Issues
The overall game is great, but I prefer the digital version. There’s some oddities to the UI and rules that make it different from playing with real cards. There’s strange additions that don’t exist in the original rulebook that make the game mostly just more annoying to play. When using certain abilities and then later using a card that removes that card from the play area, that causes the ability to be undone. This is not a rule present in the physical rulebook and drastically limits your potential.
A worse change is that you lose the game if you make your deck too efficient and capable of drawing through the whole deck. In the original rulebook it specifically says that you continue playing as normal without gaining new bad effects from shuffling once you’ve used up all the bad effects. I do not know why this change was made, but it did not improve the game, in my opinion. The inability to play with the original rules, which I think were pretty much perfect, makes this game sort of undesirable for me to play. The change for losing makes the game too random, because you can’t easily strategize around accidentally making your deck too good.Show lessrickjamesia
Superb Solitaire
I play this digital version as well as the card alternative. This is a very challenging game that will take several attempts for the beginner to win. Once having won, there is a scoring system that sets the challenge of bettering your own best score. Initially a new player may have to make references to the rule book, but after a few plays the game will speed up and flow more naturally. There is just so much repeat play value in this fiendishly devised game that I don’t think other solitaire type games will get much of an airing. Once you begin to beat the game with a level of consistency ( Not yet in my case ) there is the opportunity to play against others on the periodic “ King of the Island” Tournament. I haven’t yet gained the level of competence to join in on this yet ( Coward )I believe that the combatants are paired in opposition and are dealt the same cards. Each player then plays on as if playing solitaire but they are positioned in the league in accordance with their scores. This digital version works without any glitches whatsoever and is a perfect representation of the original card game. Highly recommended .Show lessMarciv150

Great Game
I haven’t played this game in years. I was excited to see it in the play store and $4 is well worth the hours of entertainment
It would be great if it saved high scoresJello Thief
Great solo board game, okay iPad game
The user interface for this game could’ve been much better. Apparently they really stuck to the art layout of the card game but it is harder to determine what stage your life etc. are. There’s also apparently no undue and the interface is a little confusing if you have any abilities left to play. You really have to own the board game to make sense of it all but I am still glad I purchased this game.Show lessLandru Arkon
