Doesn’t work
I bought this app to try and learn Arimaa. However, the basic rules aren’t coded well so there is a lot of confusion and frustration especially as a beginner.
Excellent Strategy Game
Absorbing and endlessly replayable.
Love the game, but the app could use improvement
Arimaa is an awesome board game, and the app is good, but it could be improved with some quick updates:
1) Add a feature to let players toggle moves turn-by-turn to study games and see where they went wrong.
2) Add a board editor for specific positions
3) Allow for multiple games to be saved

Very nice!
I spoke with the creator when I was trying to code this game in engine001...This is no small feat to have this as co-op and solo game. I like the option not to have to keep flipping the phone back-and-forth. To be fair I have to take a look farther to see how well this runs but I’m thrilled to have a two player version of this on the iPhone.

Best arimaa app out there, but that’s not saying much
Pretty glitchy. Often kills games for no reason. No option to review a game right after it’s completed (instead of letting you see the movelist, the app freezes up and forced you to close it as soon as either player scores goal). The normal bot is really susceptible to throwing away its camel on turn 4 or so. No option for human to play as silver? The bot, upon sensing that the human has a goal in 1, will just start suiciding pieces for no reason, instead of trying to hang on. (Once or twice i only won because the bot suicided its elephant, letting me know that I’d overlooked a goal somewhere).
