### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-02-18*

This game does not work like FNV or by the multiple irl rule lists posted online winning doesn’t make sense because once you sell two caravans bigger than your opponents the game continues although winning conditions have been met and not to mention how horrible it looks and feels I hope this inspires you to make it better because there is currently no other options available

### 5/5 — Such a fun game

*2026-02-11, version 2.1*

A guy came up to me in the tops asking me to play this game but since none of us had any cards this pip-boy 3000 mk IV holotape version worked great

### 2/5 — Can’t win

*2025-11-19, version 2.1*

Game crashes every time win.  Reopen and hit continue and play the same two cards to win and crashes again.

### 5/5 — Honestly Great

*2025-10-15*

Super simple, great for quick games when you need to kill 5 minutes. The interface makes it easy to learn and you can speed up the AI when you get better. Honestly just simple fun. I wish there was a “very hard” difficulty, however, sometimes even Hard doesn’t feel too difficult.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-03-23*

It’s pretty much Caravan from New Vegas. What it says on the tin. I’ve enjoyed the game thoroughly, and have played it with others, who have enjoyed it too. Even figured out I’ve been playing it wrong with scoring wins! (It’s supposed to be 2 sold caravans, not all 3!)

My only complaint is that multiplayer is basically disabled forever, as the game hasn’t been updated in 9 years, and there’s also no local multiplayer on the same device. still fun to play regardless!!!

### 4/5 — 4-stars because I can play caravan on my phone

*2025-01-25*

I wish I could build my own decks, I also wish jokers on aces worked the right way, I also wish I could use face cards on the cards I want easily. It’s really hard to put it on the right card! 

I would give it 3-stars as it’s not really the same game totally, but it’s 4 stars because I respect that someone took the time to make a caravan app and I think that’s awesome.

### 3/5 — Good app but needs work

*2024-12-21, version 2.1*

Rules are first to get two winning caravans wins the game. App requires the opponent to form a caravan before ending the game which is incorrect. Glad to see a caravan card game. Please keep working on it.

### 4/5 — amazing, but crashes

*2024-11-23, version 2.1*

every time i win it crashes ? overall great game and i love using it to practice caravan but it crashes when i win

### 4/5 — Wonderful game, but missing some features.

*2024-11-14, version 2.1*

This is a wonderful app for caravan lovers. 
Unfortunately the game can end with a tied caravan, and jokers don't discard a whole suite on an ace.

### 5/5 — Fully sick

*2024-08-05, version 2.1*

Just got addicted to the game after 100% fallout new Vegas. Super happy that this app exist. Wish nothing but the best for their future endeavours.
