Not so good

I kept trying to like this game. I really tried. It has so much potential!

But the game is too random. You need just the right tiles at the just right time to make everything work. You might get one when you need it. But you probably won’t.

And if you do get a bad tile - one with a weird, unplaceable shape - you are penalized even further when you pass on it. Why?

It’s more frustrating than fun.

——-

Oh, and one more thing. For some reason you cannot pass on a church tile.

So if you get a church tile and cannot place it, too bad. Your game is over.

(Note that the Developer’s response is for an earlier review that I have since updated.)

Response from developer

Hi Zachary, thanks so much for your review! I'm sorry you ran into some UX issues in the app. At the moment we only support the portrait orientation to simplify the implementation, but we'll keep an eye out for more feedback like this. As for entering your name for a randomized game - this appears to be a bug that allows you to change your name in Random mode when you have an online account. The intended way to change your name when you are logged in is to do Main Menu -> Profile (top left) -> Manage Account. Hope that helps, thank you!

Buggy game with no dev responsiveness

The board game is excellent and the core functions to play it are all here, but I can't rate it positively due to the numerous bugs our group has had ultimately ending our campaign unfinished.
