### 2/5 — Schlechte Anleitung…

*2022-05-20*

die Regeln habe ich gelesen, aber die Regel-Erklärung ist unzureichend. Habe den Support kontaktiert, der hat mir etwas geholfen. Nun verstehe ich es schon besser. Was trotzdem sehr schlecht ist, ich muss immer die Farbe ROT nehmen, ein Wechsel auf WEISs ist im Solospiel nicht möglich. Das verzerrt den Wettbewerb stark! Auch verstehe ich nicht warum der Gegner auf einmal 5 Reiter hat und ich nur drei.
Wenn das mal besser programmiert wird gibt es 5*
Hervorragend ist übrigens der Support, der antwortet schnell!

### 2/5 — Nur Hochkant

*2021-12-22*

Geht nicht im Querformat…
Warum wird sowas fürs iPad angeboten?

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2021-11-14*

This strategy game is very well done, and is fun to play. It’s worth the money!
My only suggestion (no big deal): Have the coin slide from location to location. The flipping is a bit distracting.

### 4/5 — Simple efficace et rapide

*2021-03-10*

J’adore ce jeu, qui est tout bête mais stratégique ! Il y a des scénarios et un mode libre. Le multi ne le trouve jamais d’autres joueurs c’est dommage. L’IA finit par être trop simple en mode libre malheureusement donc quand je souhaite avoir de la difficulté je joue contre le dernier scénario qui est très difficile. Mais dans tous les cas c’est un jeu très très plaisant avec en plus quelques notions historiques.
Je recommande fortement !

### 5/5 — Всё хорошо…

*2020-12-06*

и та самая музыкальная тема.

### 5/5 — Gefällt mir gut

*2020-01-26*

Endlich auch mobil. Mein Lieblings-Strategiespiel bisher, echt schön gemacht.

### 5/5 — Smooth and updated

*2019-12-24*

I like this version better than the release from a few years ago. The graphics are new, gameplay is still smooth, and the board is much bigger. The original version looked like the board game. This version plays the same but I like the look and feel of this one more. A fun strategy board game.

### 5/5 — Einfach ein super Spiel!

*2019-12-21*

Ich möchte gar nicht mehr aufhören. Super taktisches Spiel :)

### 5/5 — Crash

*2019-12-06*

Crashes on entering Cambridge. iPad Air. So the game is unplayable except for tutorial.

Update: Devs responded quickly and fixed the issue. No complaints with the game now. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi Trocergian! Thanks so much for taking the time to write down your feedback. Could you kindly contact our technical support at ios@usm.de and share with them specifically which ipad you're using and which OS is installed on that Ipad?
Also does deinstalling and reinstalling fix the issue for you?

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2019-12-02*

Crashes on cambridge... do I get a r fund?

**Developer response:** Hi Reed! We've updated the game recently and it should not be crashing anymore. Could you kindly let me know if it's working for you now?
