For many, "Agicola" is the best game by Uwe Rosenberg.
Sorry my friends, but that distinction goes to "Le Havre" (The Harbor) and now it is here on IOS.
Codito Development has done some great work on different board game conversions in the past (Puerto Rico,T&E, Ra,etc.) but they knocked it out of the park with this release.
Excellent graphic design.
Competent Tutorial.
Superior user interface.
The graphics are functional for game play and are a stunning representation of the actual game board.
It really is "Le Havre" that you can pack up and take with you anywhere.
The one problem with "Le Havre" the physical board game is that it takes a long time to set up, takes up a lot of room, and is extremely "fiddly" (takes a long time just to move the bits around the board neccessary to play the game).
No problem with that here.
Gameplay is snappy.
Computer AI is more than competent with multiple levels of challange.
Multiplayer, either pass and play or online works great.
Yeah, they got it all right with this release.
This is one of the world's great, meaty, deep games.
So if you are looking for something light and fluffy, stay away.
However, if you enjoy deep, complex, and elegent games that will really test your mettle over the long run, then this is the game for you.
Great fun.
Now, if we could just get the expansion.
