Secret AI bs update

If I wanted to play against AI I’d opt into it

Yet another expansion!? Legendary

[Note: the free base-game is hours and hours of fun]

I have been playing this one app for almost a decade, and beyond all hopes and dreams, they keep releasing expansions and keeping the experience fresh. Online and local multiplayer, tons of customization options, and always new gameplay. Really unmatched by any other digital board game!

Great game but purchases in app have been lost

Game is great but In-app purchases are not restored on different devices. Requests for support have been unsuccessful.

Horrible model

The game forces you to update. Sp after purchasing you really dont own the game because they hold you hostage for updated. Totally cruddy business model.
Stay away.

Starting to update the game

Updates and content?! 5 stars

Years of Entertainment

I’ve been playing since it came out. Expansions are well timed and cheap. Friendly user base.

Deleted purchases again

This app used to be great. Twice now it has deleted my purchases and the restore purchases button doesn't work. It was able to get itself sorted out then it happened again. Am running the most recent version. Unacceptable.

Deep

I’ve had this game since it first came out, and I still play it every day. It’s the one app that will never leave my phone.

No expansions for IOS

I don’t know why but only few expansions are available for IOS, while almost all expansions are activated for Android

Its fun but yea

I love the game, my boyfriend introduced me to the irl board game and i had a ton of fun so we decided to play the online version, previously i had a samsung and had 3-5 expansions that i wasnt able to play, now i have an iphone and only have 5 expansions that i can play and i dont get why its like that so i only gave 3 stars because its really bothering me and taking a lot of fun. I think itd be better if all devices had the same amount of playable free expansions because on steam its different as well, you have almost all of them except for 3-5

Repurchases locked again

I’ve purchased all the decks and promo cards twice (because I didn’t feel like doing the inevitable back and forth to get them to honor my purchases the first time), but now I have again lost access to 3 promo decks and refuses to buy them a third time

Le jeu de cartes que vous garderez.

En tout cas, moi c’est celui que j’ai gardé. C’est du deck building donc c’est pas biaisé comme à Magic. Très peu de cartes complètement dégénérées, des parties intéressantes. Tjs qq’un pour jouer en ligne. Tjs maintenu après des années !

Update bricked purchases

Enjoy the game but every update bricks my purchases. Most recent one will not restore my purchases.

Chaos with update

Wow - disaster with the latest update - no-one can get back into their games without paying all over again. Restoring doesn’t fix your past purchases. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. Total incompetence on their release process.

I loved this game until it dropped all my in app purchases like they had never existed

The game is pretty good, and the app recreates it very well. But is not without issues.

It only sometimes acknowledges the existence of the in-app purchases made.

Svp

Bonjour, ça serait cool d’avoir une version française

Deleted purchases and a useless restore button

I’ve played and loved this game since I first played it in paper, but after getting a new phone a bunch of my purchases have been deleted. Judging by the other 1 star reviews this is a common error, which makes the big “restore” button in the store that seems to do absolutely nothing all the more frustrating.

Must have Deck Builder

I’ve been playing this game for almost nine years now and had to repurchase it three different times. I’m never bored its replay value is significant. Some people absolutely love games like this. It’s not a fast based button masher, it’s a time consuming play out.

My expansion decks are gone

I purchased all the expansion decks on my iPad. I haven’t played in a while, and when I went to play today, I don’t have any of them. I’m logged in and I tried restore, but nothing happens.

Didn't recieve the expansion after payment

I made a payment from the game using app Store for the entire collection bundle. The payment was completed but I still haven't received the collection bundle in the game.
