Wrong scoring

Last night when we scored our game we had every room except a downstairs room. The app still gave 4 points for sleeping rooms instead of the correct 1 point.

Scoring castles backwards?

Really cool concept, but when we played tonight (with expansion) and we tried this out it seemed to show the scores on the screen counter-clockwise, but the app instructed me to score them clockwise. It lead to a big argument about if the app actually works and much recounting of points. Some first time players said they wouldn’t be interested in trying the game again, app or no app. Perhaps let players add names to the castles or something so that it’s easier to tell for sure who’s castle is which whether the app displays the scores in the proper order or not. Really wanted to love this app, but I’m not sure my group will let me try the app again, let alone the game :(

This app works so well it’s like magic

Motivates me to actually play this game because the scoring is the tedious part
Does all the annoying calculations!

Brilliant

This wonderful app will save you time on the least fun part of this great game, the adding up of scores.
The inclusion of the expansion is brilliant. If you have the game you need the app.

Awesome

This makes the game so great!!! The hardest part of the game is the scoring. It can be timely. This makes the game easier to get to the table.
