Leave a Review 7 Wonders
Great Game!
I almost gave it a 4 bc I do see room for improvement but moved to 5 because you guys did an excellent job making this.
Pros-
•game is super fast to play ! You can get a game done in 5-10 min!
• very easy to play if familiar with actual game. I saw a previous review and I don’t know how you can be confused if you are familiar with the game prior to playing the app.
•very clear and easy to see what you have and other players.
Room to improve when you upgrade?
• I don’t think you should be able to pick your playing board and side. It takes away the ability to strategize on the spot. I have improved by practicing the different boards.
• notification ability to hurry along a slow player
•allow a lobby room for people to join a game vs. automatically placed into games at random. A lobby room would allow you to add a password and play online with people you know.
•a way to rate players on wins and also if they stay loyal to a game that r if they bail early. (Game ticket to ride has some of these features that I feel works well for an online game)
•maybe on offline mode you could create objectives to make it more challenging
For Example
• win a game with no blue cards or maybe no guild cards
• win a game with having # of science combos.
Overall wonderful and addicting I’ve probably have played it 40 times in the past 10 days!Show lessAmwilliams14
Player count issue
This is a pretty decent digital adaptation of my favorite tabletop game, all things considered. I mean, sure it’s pretty bare bones right now, but they can always layer ranking and stats on top of a solid foundation. One thing that is an absolute travesty though is the way quick match places you in an open table. It asks how many players you want to play with, and then if it can find that in fifteen seconds it just puts you in whatever. If you back out you’re banned from matchmaking for three minutes. No. I do not ever want to play this with more than 3 players ever. It’s a completely different game at larger player counts and a much, much worse one. I will wait ten minutes for a 3 player match before I will play with more. Please, please, please give me this option. As it stands now, the fact that it asks me for a preference at all just adds insult to injury.Show lessBeelzebozo
No leaderboards or stats
Part of the fun for me with iOS apps is trying to make your record better and better with each play, moving up your record or world rank. With 7 Wonders, there’s no stat tracking or even a leaderboard, so after you win you’re just kind of sent back to the main screen, with nothing to show for it.
This is even more surprising since the 7 Wonders companion app has so many stats it’s amazing.
Where are the stats and personal records? Seems like an easy fix and this app won’t get more than 3 stars from me until it’s thereShow lessChopsueyCP
close
it pains me to review one of my favorite games poorly. The problem with this implementation is that you must be online for it to load up and start. this is a little bit silly if you want to play against the artificial intelligence off-line. Please fix this. My rating will be quite substantially higher when this little irritation is squashed.
update: 5 stars now. excellent version of the game, and offline play now allowed!Show lessTarheel1990
What the heck?
Wow, talk about a product not even remotely ready for release. I play iOS board games all the time and after poking around a bit it is safe to say this is the worst launch I have ever seen. The tutorial consistently freezes for me when it asks me to play the brickyard. The game itself has no way to zoom into my played cards or those of my opponents. I’ve never been through a game that didn’t freeze before it was over. I read some reviews that said I had to log into the network to play offline - bad design. So, I create an account using a UI that provides no feedback upon submission - bad design. Then I log in and it just gets stuck on ‘Loading User Profile, which I honestly can’t tell if its bad design - meaning it’s actually downloading content - or just a bug. This is not a release worthy build folks!Show lessOshimisan

Sorry to read that. Could you send us more information about your iPad at app@reposprod.com ? Concerning seeing cards of opponents : you may see them by swiping top-down on their wonders. Concerning card details : you'll have details by doing a long click on it. Hope this helps.Decent Adaption
ALL RIGHT. Fourth time writing. Learning curve is finally taking effect. Did the tutorial again and some of my frustration is gone. I’ve played the board game many times and find the speed of this game disconcerting. Hopefully, my understanding of the nuances will grow. Started out with one star, changed to three, now give it four.
Ok. Third time I’m writing. I am totally frustrated with this game vi play all the way through, get to last move. I have two cards left and have to choose one to play. However, neither is playable, I don’t have what’s needed. So, the game just sits there, keep telling me to choose a card and drag it into place, WHICH IT WON’T LET ME. So, the game is stuck, impossible to move on. Great. I’m liking it less and less and am removing a star from my review.
One of my favorite board games. Game play is incredibly fast - really too fast. It would be better for me while playing against AI to see each players actions one at a time. It’s easy to lose track of their moves.Show less28monty28

Hi, we'd like to understand what happened. could you send us some details at app@reposprod.com.First update is an improvement
The game works, it is 7 wonders, it looks good but... it is hard to tell what is going on. There is no indication of when neighbors buy resources or who you need to pay for a resource (unless you have the option to pay either neighbor). You can see what card your neighbors have but it would have been nice to see a short animation of their decisions to make it more noticeable. Heck the game plays in 3 minutes so slowing it down would not be a problem. Speaking of animations, a few could have been thrown in to spice up the game, it feels pretty clinical now. There is no option to select ai difficulty. The first update did address the biggest issue with the game... needing an internet connection to launch. At least now the game can be played while off WiFi.Show lesssgreasby

Many thanks for your feedback. This application is the result of a 1 year project started 1 year ago and our roadmap and R&D projects will bring more feature in it int the coming weeks. Network connection needs to be there only for the first launch of the app in order to download some additional contents. Once done, you may play offline (even in airplane mode). Some connections seems to be have some issues and we are currently working on it but it does not impact your ability to play offline. After the first update, there is no need to be connected to a network to play the app.Great Game
Great game. I love the board game so I was looking forward to the digital version. It took me a little to get used to the look and feel of the digital version but once I figured it out I thought it was a great implementation. Two things I wish it could do, 1). interfaced with Game Center or Facebook so I could choose what friends to play against online. 2) Play against friends on local WiFi or Bluetooth. Hopefully this will be implemented in future versions.Show lessNCHorst
My favorite board game!
Finally available on a mobile device!
Other reviewers have hit both the highs and the lows: gameplay is smooth, and you can play a good game, quickly. On the other hand, there's no option to change ai difficulty, or to allow multiple local players. Another useful tool would be the ability to see, prior to the start of a level, exactly which base cards are in play. I always forget which duplicates are added in with a 5, 6, and 7 player game.
Thanks for rolling this out, it's a lot of fun and I look forward to future updates and the chance to make this a 5-star rating.Show lessRptalon
Good game, but many features to be desired
Bought this Day 1, as 7 Wonders is one of my favorite games. I've been very excited to play an on-the-go version of the game, and so far I've liked what I've seen. However, there's some things that prevented me from giving it 5 stars.
- While I bought this as an on-the-go app, you can't play the offline mode without an internet connection. I'm a little confused, as there doesn't appear to be a clear reason for this.
- I wish there was an animation for getting money from other players. You sort of just have your money tick up and it'd be nice to know where it came from.
- AI difficulty settings would be nice. I think as an experienced player the difficulty level is right, but I imagine that newer players would just get blown out all the time.
- In-game speed is fine, but the cutscenes for Military Conflict and End of Game seem slow. I wish you could just click the screen to show you how military went and then click again to jump right into the next age or final score rather than sitting through slow animation.
Good game, but some changes would make it 5 star for me.Show lessCosto1cm
