### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-28, version 2.2.218*

The game is enjoyable when it works. If there is a way to save and complete later, I don’t know how to do that. It would be nice. It has been so glitchy lately and often won’t let me place a piece or won’t let me place it where I’d like. It is so frustrating that I’m not going to keep playing this game I paid for. Having the perfect shape and not being able to place it in the perfect spot ruins it. The problem got bad after recent IOS update and maybe they are connected.

### 2/5 — Langweilige KI

*2025-04-15*

Leider ist die KI nicht variabel und jede Schwierigkeitsstufe spielt immer dieselbe Taktik, was schnell frustriert und langweilt. Taktik üben kann man damit nicht. Als Anfänger sind echte Gegner genauso frustrierend, da man immer Gegner zugeteilt bekommt, die um ein vielfaches besser sind. Ich habe so keine Chance mich zu verbessern oder mit Leuten zu spielen, die mein Niveau spielen. 
Die Umsetzung des Spiels und die Grafiken sind sehr schön gestaltet, leider reicht das nicht. Spielt lieber das Brettspiel, das macht mehr Spaß!

### 3/5 — Good game, buggy apps

*2024-12-12*

This is an issue with all of this groups games. Every time you open it the game does not refresh. You get used to having to exit the match, go to your profile, wait for it to update, going back to your current games, then entering the game again. Then you can make your turn. They need to fix this because it makes playing the game a chore.

### 3/5 — Ha dei bug!

*2024-08-06*

Il gioco è super carino, ma non fa vedere i risultati finali, non fa tornare alla schermata principale, non tiene traccia delle partite… andrebbero risolti questi problemi! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 2/5 — Unfinished

*2024-07-27*

The game is a bit unfinished… menus that are inuseful and if u play in 2 players at end the final score is not calculated… it would be 5 stars if working but in this way I can only give 2

### 4/5 — Gioco ben fatto…

*2024-03-09*

… ma alla fine non fa vedere i risultati dei due giocatori 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 3/5 — Multiplayer and themes do not work

*2024-01-05, version 2.2.218*

This is an excellent tabletop game, and I would rate this app higher, but multiplayer does not work. And also switching themes does not work (which is not as important as multiplayer).
I feel like this app was written to target multiple platforms - iOS and Android, and somewhere in the middle, after some iOS release maybe, something got broken, and it was not tested whether it works.
Developer, please, fix the multiplayer! 🙏🏻 I want to play woth friends.
It also would be nice to have achievements, all themes from the tabletop editions (wouldn't mind to pay for them, especially the Christmas Edition).
It would be nice to see 5x5 Bonuskarte as a checkbox when you create a game. Plus, a solo play.
I feel like if you'd also make the game menus more accessible, and make the UI more suitable for fingers when playing on iPhone (example: rebalanced tiles is a dropdown with checkbox, make it simple checkbox, and make it a bit bigger), so I feel if you'd made all these changes, you could easy start competing for the top 50 in games, because the game has all chances to be in tops - it is simple and fun.

### 2/5 — アップデートで文字化け

*2023-12-06*

アップデートしたら、文字化けして日本語表示ができない。

### 1/5 — Buggy (since the update)

*2022-12-29, version 2.1.203*

I love this game but, since the update, it’s been incredibly buggy. The gameplay is buggy, the game crashes at random, and when you close it and reopen it the pieces are in different spots. It really needs to be fixed because it’s almost unplayable at the moment.

### 1/5 — Programmed for hard level AI

*2022-11-05*

Love the game but totally rigged for hard AI to win. Disappointing because the game is always one sided unless you play easy. 😕

### 1/5 — Wie man ein gut funktionierende App kaputt machen kann

*2022-11-03*

Ich habe bislang dieses Spiel gerne gespielt, trotz einiger kleiner Macken funktionierte das Spielen reibungslos.
Nach dem Update und der Übergabe an Asmodee ist diese App einfach nur schlecht.
Sie läuft sehr langsam, man muss immer ins Hauptmenü wechseln um auf das nächste Spiel zu kommen.
Das schlimmste ist: der bisherige Spielstand und alle laufenden Spiele waren weg.
Wenn sich das nicht in den kommenden Tagen ändert, lösche ich die App…

### 1/5 — Update has broken the game

*2022-11-02, version 2.00*

This was a go to game pre October 2022 update. The update now won’t let me get past the first loading screen.

### 3/5 — Ne marche plus

*2022-11-02*

Le jeu ne fonctionne plus depuis la reprise par twin sails, le nouveau logo apparaît mais le jeu ne démarre plus 
Dommage

### 1/5 — Very Glitchy

*2025-08-02, version 2.2.218*

Whenever I open the game and try to start the game it will get stuck in that screen. I will close it and try again and still no change. I will give better review once you fix that because it happens every time I try to play.

### 1/5 — Glitchy across multiple phones

*2025-07-04, version 2.2.218*

This game plays terribly, and constantly glitches. I had to completely delete the app numerous times because the game would become stuck when opening. My friend was not able to select her pieces and once the settings button is open during game play it can not be closed. The only way to remove it is to exit out of the game. To see if the other player has played you have to continually hit a refresh button. Really a great game on a terrible app.

### 1/5 — Programmed for hard level AI

*2024-10-30, version 2.2.218*

Love the game but totally programmed for hard AI to win and that is cheating. Chokes off your play. Disappointing because the game is always one sided unless you play easy. 😕

### 1/5 — Troppi bug

*2024-05-27*

L’app graficamente è molto carina e il gioco è molto simpatico. Tuttavia, trovare una partita è pressoché impossibile, e non per mancanza di giocatori, ma perchè si blocca durante la ricerca della partita. 

Se migliorasse da questo punto di vista sarebbe perfetta.

### 1/5 — Super jeu mais …

*2024-01-17*

… je n’aurais jamais dû faire la MAJ.
Le jeu bug bcp : des parties qui ne se lancent pas, des parties qui crash, des pièces qui ne sont pas accessibles en pleine partie pour les buts majeurs

Le top 3 des pièces accessibles qui ne se highlights pas, des pièces décalées du plateau de pose pour les bugs mineurs.

REwork please

### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-01-02, version 2.2.218*

The UI is terrible and nothing seems to work.

### 1/5 — ゲームができない

*2023-12-13*

アップデートしたら全く画面の文字が読めなくなった。

### 1/5 — Confusing Instructions

*2023-02-20, version 2.1.207*

The “Tutorial” is very confusing. There doesn’t seem to be a link to a descent set of rules. The layout is chaotic with unexplained mechanisms.

### 1/5 — アップデートしたら

*2023-02-15*

ランキングゲームが新規で登録出来なくなった。

### 1/5 — Was a great game.

*2023-02-05, version 2.1.203*

This game was amazing. The latest release changed the timing of the animations so now everything is either super slow and painful to wait through or too fast to follow. 

There’s also no way I can find to change the animation speed while in a game

### 5/5 — 너무 재밌어요.

*2026-05-28*

간단하고 빨리 끝나고 좋네요.

### 5/5 — Un excellent jeu

*2026-04-20*

Un excellent jeu, avec un très bon portage et des niveaux de jeu quelquefois vraiment pas évidents à battre !

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-07-28*

Very good digital version of the game

### 5/5 — Schöne Umsetzung

*2024-07-02*

Ich habe das analoge Spiel und mir mangels Gegnern die App gekauft. Die schlechten Bewertungen verstehe ich nicht. Kenne den alten Stand nicht, aber es funktioniert alles. Das Aktualisieren von Spielen übers Internet hakt manchmal, und ich fände es schöner, wenn bei höherer Geschwindigkeit ein paar Animationen ausgelassen werden, anstatt alles einfach nur schneller ablaufen zu lassen. Sonst macht das Spielen sowohl gegen KI als auch zu zwei Spaß .

### 5/5 — A fun game

*2024-03-29, version 2.2.218*

Just really fun and relaxing. Very well done. :)

### 5/5 — Отличная реализация настольной игры!

*2024-03-20*

Когда нибудь я переиграю Уве Розенберга)))

### 5/5 — Wundervolles entspanntes Spiel

*2022-12-17*

Eimer der wenige Spiele auf meinem IPad, das ich immer wieder anmache. Ein sehr schön umgesetztes Spielebrett Klassiker, bei dem das nervige Zusammenzählen einem abgenommen wird.
Verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade lassen den Langzeitspass auch stets existieren. Der Soundtrack ist so schön, und besonders die Version von Heidi Fromi lässt jeden mind ein ˋoh wie schön“ sagen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

### 5/5 — とても面白い

*2021-12-31*

ボードゲームで評判が良いものを探していました。最初はルールが難しいと感じましたが、慣れてくると楽しくなってきました。ボードゲームとしておすすめします。

### 5/5 — Full screen

*2021-10-03, version 1.54*

Please optimise full screen for iPhone 12

Addictive game !!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-07-30, version 1.54*

Have been playing the table board game for a couple of years and this saves a lot of time and is easy to play.  Only takes a couple of turns to get the hang if it.  The graphics make it look like a kids game but it’s fun for all ages.
