Love this game

I love having an online version of one of my favorite board games. I would LOVE if you could add a way to edit the Target Points when playing a Private Game. There’s a way to do this in Custom Game, but not with a Private Game. We normally play to 20 or 30 with 2 players, so this would help a lot!

Game was great until last update.

The game is fun and straightforward to play. However, as of the last update it is glitchy and will freeze and then kick me out of the game.

Issue with the new update

I want to preface by saying my whole family and I love this game. However there has been an issue since the new update with our tokens not coming through. This has made the game much less enjoyable so I hope it is fixed soon.

Paid to remove ads and now it’s too buggy to play

As soon as I paid to remove the ads, the game stopped working. It takes my coins but then a game won’t start. Just a blank screen with sound indicating that it’s my turn. Really lame. If it’s not fixed soon I’ll file a complaint to get my money back.

Perfect online recreation of splendor

I was so bummed when the splendor app was taken off the store but this is a perfect recreation. An option to play agaisnt only bots would be cool but the app is great otherwise.

Not working

The game freezes after you see the pub

Great Game but Glitching

Downloaded the game a few days ago. I played the ranked mode and was having a blast! Connection was great and was quick to find matches.

Updated the app this morning and now I cannot log in through either Apple or Google emails. When I enter the information, it takes me to a loading screen but sends me back to the log in menu each time. I have tried uninstalling and redownloading the app a couple times but I’ve had no luck even logging in.

Great gameplay but that issue alone makes me hesitant to buy the ad-free option.

They literally delete my top ranking account

Follow up: I emailed them about my problem but no reply. Be responsible.

I’m ranked within top 30 in season 2(score 1719) and suddenly I just cannot log into my account (“zhen”, you can easily find it on the leaderboard). My remove ads purchase also gone. MANAGE YOUR SERVER, OR DON’T LAUNCH GAMES.

Bugs

I think it’s a great app/game. I paid for the version with no ads.

There are consistent issues with it freezing and skipping the users turn when frozen. I keep hoping for this to be resolved in updates, but it’s not fixed. I’ll take a turn, it’ll move to the next player, and either the timer will disappear completely, or it will do a full rotation for the next player and then freeze. Sometimes it seems to reset and all of the sudden I’ve missed 2 turns. Sometimes it kicks me out of the game completely for failing to take my turns (when it wasn’t even possible). And now, it’s just freezing. For 5+ minutes I’ll sit there to see if it will catch up or reset. But it does not.

Especially frustrating when competing in the season - losing trophies/coins/money at no fault of my own.

Like I said - great game when it works. Which seems to be about 50% of the time at the moment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will continue to strive for a better service at Ephod.

Make multiplayer on single device possible

Game plays wonderfully. My only critique would be that they need to make a game play for multiplayer on the same device, for in person games. And then you pass the phone back and forth.
