Update please?

I’d love to see an update; especially if it gives you more options. Would pay a few bucks for it.

Update with deluxe edition please.

This game is good but would be so much better if you could play with all the features of the deluxe edition.

Human Players?

I bought this so I could play it with another person next to me (not online) but I’m unable to launch anything other than myself versus the AI. Several reviews say it’s pass-and-play. What’s up?

How do I report scoring errors?

There does not appear to be a way to message app support. The 500 Basement room (Secret Lair) scoring 2 for each corridor room seems to score for Utility rooms instead (or maybe it’s a misprint 🤔). Also the King’s Favor for Activity room size doesn’t have the area size image.

Got to grips with it eventually

I persevered with this as I’d been told the board game is great. However I’d not played that before, and as a newcomer to the game found the tutorial to be insufficient. Anyway, having stuck at it I’ve got to grips with the mechanics now and it’s good, similar to carcassone.
