Not on objective game

The dicce rolls are so patently slanted to what the game board presents that it is almost comical. Not objective game play, and that robs the fun out of the game and strategy. Not worth your time.

Difficulty settings ruin the game

Changing the difficulty to hard doesn’t actually make the AI better.

What it actually does is do anything and everything to keep you from winning. The AI will keep rolling 7s until you have no resources left and then continue rolling that one number on the board you have nothing built on.

Takes all the fun out of a really enjoyable game.

edit: every time I come back to try to play a solo game I just leave p*ssed off lol

Game is Fine. CPU Cheats

Updated Review:

I have no idea what they did during this last update, but the game is effectively ruined. From the time it took me to get from 2 to 9 points, only 10 7’s were rolled. Once I hit 9 points, for 11 straight rounds, one CPU (going right after me) would roll a 7. They would move the robber. The second CPU (going after the first CPU) would roll the exact number that the robber was on, then play a knight card. Only stealing from me. The only time I got cards was when my wife would roll the dice and it just happened to land on something I had. For 11 straight rounds the computer cheated like crazy. We went from 10 7’s in 30 minutes to 20+ 7’s being rolled 10 minutes later.

Avoid. Save Your Space. Wait for the Reviews to Mention that they have fixed the cheating. These Creators honestly kind of suck.

Small fixes needed

Would be 5 but the zoom in/out functionality is bada and often locks in place, gets stuck. Using an iPhone 17 so wouldn’t expect UI issue like this on device this widely used to go unresolved. Will switch to 5 if fixed.

I CANT EVEN REGISTER

The game does not let me register for an account, no UI explaining the failures either, just, “Login Failed” 7$ for this BS!!!
