Functionality Bad
I recently downloaded this app about a week or two prior to this review. I had created an account with Renegade/Dire Wolf but when the terms and conditions appear on the screen within the app, there is no way to agree/disagree and no way to close the pop up without closing the app and starting from the beginning. This is causing me to be unable to play any multiplayer mode.

Great game BUT
The user interface, and especially the tutorial, need serious upgrades.
As good or better than the physical
Great version of the original. I just wish you could toggle off the animations. also would be great to have one level more difficult AI, but all in all it’s great
Enjoy this game
I have really enjoyed this game and rated five stars, but I’ve only played it solo against the app. But I like it so much that I’m going to try to get the physical copy again even though I’ve traded away once before.
Beautiful
A great translation. The audio, the visuals, the intuitive interface….I wish all tabletop games were done this well in digital.
All The Signs of a Classic
This is a good example of how an app can breathe new life into a great card game. The bookkeeping is all done for you, all the color and beauty remains. The two player game is the most strategic. It is really just an abstract card game, simple rules and a bit of a take that attitude.
Last turn broken
When you’ve set yourself up perfectly to make the game winning dedication on the last turn and the current version of the game is broken so you never get that last turn, it takes all the joy out. Fix the last turn already! Clearly it has been broken for 6+ months. It isn’t too much to ask to expect that the digital version follows the rules of the game.

Great play of the card game
Amazing graphics and plays very well as 2/3/4 player. Nice that it follows the card game thoroughly.
Great Fun
Dire Wolf have delivered another great conversion of a board game into the digital realm. This is really simple to play, quick and fun game with great presentation.
Unplayable on iPhone 12; final round rules wrong
Update: still unplayable on iPhone 12 pro max and iPhone 12 pro after update.
On both iPhone 12 pro max and iPhone 12 pro, the screen is all blown up and you can’t scroll around. Support responded once a month ago and then radio silence. Plays well on iPad. But, final round is broken as many others have reported. Very disappointing for a $5 app.

Update has killed friend multiplayer
I do like this app a lot as for the 4- Stars but the latest update has really hampered multiplayer game play over time. While we do play often in a normal 1-HR game it works fine but sometimes, we just want to play a free flow game when we have time. We’ve noticed with the update it just scrubs the game. We log in with the game gone... just frustrating when you had played the way for so long. A timer visible would at least give us some visual. Hope the multiplayer is fixed in the next update.

Last round is glitched
Great game though the last round is glitched. After placing your last tile, you can’t do your final round.
Recent update
This is a great game, and the app has been enjoyable for years; however the most recent update has problems that have not been addressed by the developer. The game doesn’t follow its rules with the last update. There is no final turn-in round, and players can use the Emperor’s lanterns twice in the same turn.

v2 is buggy, drop in quality from previous version
The new 2.0 version has more bugs than the previous version. Users were forced to update to play online games. Exiting games were lost. There are serious game play issues as well, for example not being able to play the last dedication round. Minor bugs with things like the “back” button’s localization string being “button.back”.
I’m not going to play again until at least the next update.

Great AI
I’ve only played against the AI, but it wins half the time, which is amazing. Beautiful graphics, interesting gameplay, and mostly intuitive interface. All around great job!
Awesome translation
Love the board game and love the app for it! Way to go RGS!
Fantastic game
Easy to learn, enjoyable to play, challenging but not frustrating. Love it!
Wonderful!
Lanterns: The Harvest Festival is a perfect adaptation of the amazing board game!
Online game ist furchtbar
Das Spiel selbst, Graphic sind super.
Was wirklich frustrierend ist, ist das Spielen online!
Nicht nur dass die Punkteverteilung keinen Sinn macht und somit unfair ist, auch gibt es Zeiten an denen man sich überhaupt nicht über Tage einloggen kann.
Außerdem wäre es cool wenn man mit seinen Gegnern in irgendeiner Form kommunizieren könnte -das geht nämlich auch nicht.

Good game, login issues
Lanterns is beautifully rendered and fun to play, with strategy to master. Two complaints: The game doesn't keep me logged in and sometimes says it can't log me in, there are some mechanics of the game that aren't fully explained, and badge notifications don't work.
