### 2/5 — Will there ever be additional content ?

*2024-03-20*

Games is great but the company has no interest in evolving the app further. So many more levels could be added. So do it. Please

**Developer response:** Thank you for opinion, we are working on, the updates are coming soon!

### 1/5 — No way to get past 17 villages

*2023-12-02*

There’s no indication how to progress past the first 17 villages. Is the game broken?

### 3/5 — What score do I need to get to a new level?

*2023-10-09*

What score do I need to get to a new level?

### 3/5 — Fun game but…

*2023-09-08*

What’s the point the random favor tokens? I get it if you play the physical game with 2 or more players, but for the app it is not good. The extra worker is by far the best favour token, it seems impossible to beat the 80 points when it is not available so what’s the point? It is hard enough to beat the 80 points and get 3 starts in most levels.

Also, unlocked 17 sheets  but can’t unlock any more even though I have 282 crowns? 

I’m truly hoping for an update or at least an official reply

### 3/5 — Hope to have an update soon…

*2022-02-27*

It’s being a while since we had an update with new « sheets » to play…!!

### 5/5 — Great implementation of board game

*2022-02-09*

This is a great little game that is true to its physical form. Knowledge of the physical game helps and it may not be as easy to understand without looking at an online tutorial/review about the actual board game.

### 5/5 — Top un beau jeu avec de chouettes animations

*2021-04-08*

Même s’il manque encore l’adaptation en français de ce jeu. Il est chouette et on finit par comprendre le texte à force d’y jouer.

### 4/5 — Arg!!!

*2021-04-07*

So, Im ranked in the top 5%.  I keep playing and playing and playing and.....  I can not get to the next level to open new levels.  It is a really horrible tease to show more levels but have no way to access.  There was no warning up front of what it would take to get more levels.  Beyond irritating.

### 5/5 — Very cool game

*2021-03-03*

I stumbled upon this game, and I’m so glad I did. It’s perfect for a casual gamer like me who wants something interesting, with some depth, but not overly complicated, that can be played in a few minutes, like during a break from work. 

The design is awesome and the UI as easy as can be. If you read the short manual, then play once with the tutorial, the strategy will start to click and you’ll get the hang of it quickly as you continue to play. 

I really appreciate the fair up-front price with no ads or unfair IAP. This developer did a great job, and I appreciate that. We need more developers like this who monetize the right way. 

Thank you so much for making this game! It’s really fun to have a board/dice game you can play here and there when you have time.

### 3/5 — Freezes up

*2020-12-14, version 1.0.16*

I really like this fun addictive game, but twice now it has completely frozen up, ruining the session.  Hope they fix this!
