### 3/5 — Developers… do something about it !!

*2025-07-13*

I hope someone from the team look at these reviews and comments and do something about it. Why abandon such a good game?? 

I found one bug with the game. Sometimes, my tile duplicates and the game forces me to place thr duplicate tile somewhere new, once the tile is dropped on the map, you wont be able to move it and if you dropped it nowhere (not connected to tile in the map, just an unconnected space) it will stay there and you will have to restart the game because that forces me not to complete my action as one my tile is still stuck in the move. Hard to explain this but this happened to at least five times now. Doesnt happen in every game. Also, I recommend adding some expansions to this game.

### 2/5 — Can only play local

*2025-05-02, version 14.2*

Can’t update my user name to play with friends.

### 5/5 — 14.2版玩起來挺順暢的

*2025-02-24, version 14.2*

跟AI玩了幾場都沒什麼問題。還沒跟線上真人玩過。

### 4/5 — Great game but serious problem in digital port

*2024-03-29*

I love the game and the digital port is very good but there’s a serious issue with the digital implementation of the rules. It seems you can currently purchase 1 tile from another player. Where I believe you should go back and forth purchasing one or more tiles until everyone passes.

### 5/5 — Expansions?

*2024-03-05*

Gimme expansions please.

### 3/5 — Probleme nach dem Update

*2024-02-15*

Leider stürzt dieses eigentlich tolle Spiel seit dem letzten Update jedesmal ab.

### 2/5 — Hangs multiple times per game

*2024-01-03, version 13.0*

Restarting where you left off isn’t bad. Takes 3 button clicks. But it hangs 1-2 times per game. Obviously not being maintained. Otherwise it is a good implementation.

### 1/5 — Abstürze vorprogrammiert!!!

*2023-03-22*

Das Spiel das am zuverlässigsten während einer Partie abgestürzt ist. Am meisten beim pass and play. Schade das man dafür Geld bezahlt hat.

### 1/5 — 2 Minuten gespielt und schon einen bug gefunden, der das Spiel kaputt macht:

*2022-12-28*

Habe es mehrmals geschafft, Karten zu legen, die gar nicht passen. Straße an Wiese z.B.

Optisch hätte es durch drehen des Plättchens passende Positionen gegeben, aber es ließ sich nicht auf passende Positionen drehen.

Ich habe davon einen Screenie gemacht. Wer will kannns gerne haben und es sich selbst angucken… @ Entwickler?

### 1/5 — Freeze issues

*2022-12-06, version 13.0*

Games “freezes / locks up” mid play large majority of the time.  Very frustrating
