Gomoku game doesn’t work against AI

Gomoku game AI lets you win with the first five stones all the time just placed in a row without trying to stop you

War nicht zu erwarten

Dass hier sofort bezahlt werden muss.

Супер, але…

Додайте, будь-ласка, правила Рендзю для Гомоку і щоб можна було змінювати розмір дошки! Було б круто, якби гра мала більше варіативностей в іграх! Само-собою було б прекрасно, якби додали Ґо та японські шахи! А ще більше всяких тем!

Amazing!

Really great app. Good choice of games. We play them a lot. I really appreciate the explanations too.

Only two requests - can you put an undo button? Sometimes the squares on the game is so small a mistake is made. It’s really annoying .

Also an expert level for the computer would be good. They’re too easily defeated.

They’re the only two comments. Apart from that great job!

Disappointed

All features are pay walled except the online games, which leaves this as the only avenue to actually, fully learn and enjoy the games. When you start a game it expressly states that failure to make a move in two days results in a forfeit. However, I have been waiting for a week and both games I started have remained untouched by my opponent and I have yet to receive any wins or a notice of a forfeit. The game is a great concept but I would prefer to deal with short adds and actually be able to play the games even if only with bots until it gains enough traction to attract players who may actually play.

No set a role for online poster

Online’s planet always missing

Great! Just a few suggestions though…

1. Please add some kind of free to play option for those cheapskates whining about it. (I went and paid for the premium dlc and I did not regret it one bit! Worth every cent! If you like it, then buy it!)
2. Please add more ancient board games in the future. Most of these are Scandinavian/Viking but please add more from ancient Africa, Middle East, East Asia, etc.
3. I’ve noticed some difficulty levels from ‘Train’ mode are absent on some games. Why? Please add them and maybe add an ‘Extra Hard’ mode?
4. In ‘Train’ mode, Bagh Chal is missing, Why? Only 8 board games are available in ‘Train’ mode. Is there a reason? How come?
5. Please add Chinese Chess, Fanorona, Go, (Since Gomoku is there) and maybe Mancala? (or its older variants?)

Great but…

Why do opponents have two days to respond? I‘m sorry but I don‘t really get behind the concept of having to wait ages for a turn. Otherwise it looks and feels gorgous but that is a bummer.

Lovely collection

Lovely implementation of a bunch of great games. I do wish it had a full Go mode on that Gomoku board though.

Great but one suggestion

Overall, this is a fantastic game, beautiful music, and graphics, and great variety of ancient games. However would like to see an additional option of playing the computer in a mode where you can then keep head to head game statistics vs the computer, and not just a training mode. Hope that makes sense and thank you!

Great collection of forgotten games!

I originally found this app searching for a Konane game, but loved the fact it included Nine Mens Morris. I played Viking Chess for the first time in this app and now I’m hooked.

I wish it were easier to invite others to play within the app, but other than that it’s wonderful and I highly recommend it!

Great idea! Premium is fairly priced too.

Well worth it. Nice to have a collection of time tested classics!

just awesome

It‘s a perfect game for a smartphone everything is perfect it starts with that magic sound and it ends with that impressive gameplay

Не бесплатно

2 игры с компьютеров и 2 игры на одном устройстве. Нельзя даже все игры опробовать. Я бы посоветовал разработчикам, либо сразу делать игру платной, либо сделать так: 1 реклама = 1 игра. Реализация очень хорошая, приятная анимация, доходчиво объяснены правила. Однако выше перечисленные ограничения не дают поставить этому приложению 5 звезд

Ok

Cool

Excellent

Very good graphics and choice of games . The game play is very good but need some updates
Thank you

Culturally respectful design

The creator offers a large set of ancient games, with many ways to play, all at an affordable price. The games are styled by skillful folk across the globe, wherever the games originated, and somehow the whole app still feels completely cohesive.
Well done👏.
Extra points for use of the rumble pack effect.

Response from developer

Thank you for those nice words, really means a lot to me! 🥹

Great game

Fantastic simple board game app tastefully designed by different artists around the world. All the games are fun to play and the rules simple to understand. It costs £2.99 to unlock online and train mode which gives you unlimited access to everything.
My only complaint is that many matches you start just end with the opponent not playing there next move.
But if you have enough online games on the go you will get play. It’s worth it just for train mode where you can play against 3 difficulty settings

Great games!

Beautifully realised representations of old games you’ve probably not heard of. Great fun, great value, recommended!

Avis

Je suis très déçu par ce jeu
L’idée est pourtant géniale
Mais je me suis fait avoir en achetant ce jeu, le continu est nul, l’Ia trop facile et le multijoueur vraiment pas pratique
Je ne recommande pas.
