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.
Update?
I love this game, have for years and my family just recently got out deluxe edition board game with twice as many rooms, secret passages, moats and swans. I really hope you guys are planning a major update of the app with all of these new game options being available.
Great game, needs update
Love the game, BUT….
UPDATES PLEASE!!!!
UPDATES PLEASE!!!!
What?! No online play!!?
This is a great game BUT the whole reason I got it was to play with family online. Not possible.
Great Digital Version
Greetings from Feb 2023 - Castles of Mad King Ludwig features fantastic game play! I was rusty on the rules after not playing for a few years and the tutorial was very helpful! Get ready to have fun! Well worth $8!
Excellent app (and game); needs updates/expansions
Great virtual version of an excellent board game. I love this for solo play, especially when I’m doing chores or other things (as turns can take awhile when playing against 3 AIs). I’m a daily player as I find it both interesting and relaxing.
The developers are missing great opportunities for paid expansions. Happy to have the new tiles, but would love to have additional tiles from the new collectors edition) which could be released in 2-3 paid expansions).
Additional ideas: 1) ability to customize the number of starting tiles in options/settings when you want to play a longer game (this is my #2 wish after new tile sets), 2) achievements, 3) AI opponents who differ in play style, 4) free play mode where you can just design a castle for fun.
TLDR: Keep up the good work, Bezier, but add more to the game!

Great Campaign mode. Needs multiplayer.
Campaign mode is worth playing.
Lots of entertainment and it is challenging.
I was hoping it had an online element.

Avoid on phones
Good game, adequate implementation for tablets, but UI and text are absolutely too small to play on a phone. Stick to a tablet.
Great game, but a couple of misprints...
This is an excellent implementation of the physical board game and I’ve enjoyed many hours playing it. However, I have noticed two instances of mislabeled tiles; one being the Secret Lair (it shows a bonus of 2 points for each Hallway when it should show 2 points for each Utility Room) and the other being the King’s Favor tile for Activity Room Size (it’s missing the icon indicating total area size). Other than that, and the AI often making suboptimal tile placements, the game is an awesome way to kill 20-30 minutes!

App is great but needs online multiplayer
This app is great except for one huge issue, it does not have online multiplayer. When I got the app I immediately told my board game group to buy it, we already had a couple other board game apps and I was kinda surprised we didn’t know about this one sooner. I bought this without checking if it had online multiplayer cause it never occurred to me that it wouldn’t, after I found out fortunately my friends hand not bought it yet. If this does get online multiplayer I know at least 4 people that will definitely buy it. The pass and play is a nice feature but in most situations if we are together in person we will just play the physical board game. The main point for my group of getting the board game apps is that we can play online. It’s really unfortunate because we love this game and functionality wise this app is better than some of the other board game apps I have but it’s essentially useless without online multiplayer.

BattleHammer
It’s really good. Only point is the end game scoring is too … flat… unsure of the right word. But take Terraforming Mars, end of the game it goes through each victory point bonus. This could do the same to make the end a bit more fun by breaking it down , like you would on a real board game. Then you can see where you get your points from. Otherwise great fun.

Good game
I really like this game it’s relaxing and fun and no in app purchases exactly what I was looking for a
Great adaptation.
This game works well in the digital medium, the campaign is well designed to give you puzzles/challenges.
Great game but some bugs
I love this game and feel the overall graphics and all that were done beautifully. However, there is a bug where the game occasionally tells me there are no more bonus cards available when we're only on turn two or so which means there absolutely should be bonus cards! This happens while I'm doing campaigns. Restarting the level is the only way to fix it and it's super annoying.

Decent apaptation
As of today (5/21/21) there is a bug that was reported on 4/8 with the new set of tiles released in the last update.
Until that is updated my below review is still accurate but...
Play with the classic tiles for now
Good iOS version of one of my favorite board games. Now I can play and not bug my family. The minor differences are so minor you don't notice it.
I wish there was a little bit of customization available, ,faster animations, faster ai, and vary the number of cards (I.e. Allow house rules like a lot of people do that allow larger castles).
I don't play any game online, so I cannot comment on they part.
