Too complicated

This review is not meant to be any sign of disrespect to the developer. I suppose that the board game plays the same way. But this game is too complicated.

Fair warning. If you’re looking for a good, yet straightforward strategy game, this isn’t it.

You’ll Never Win, Game Developer Must be Sadists

I must have played 20 times and never came close to winning, even on basic. Invariably you will hit a string of bad luck and never recover.

Great port of a fun game

Pavlov’s House is a great port of a very engaging board game. It is not a mindless game but it is quite accessible if you are willing to read a bit. Play a few games and then delve deeper into the rules to see what you have been missing. And after that, read some of the history and developer notes that are included. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent port of an awesome game

Pavlov’s House is a board game that takes place during the Battle of Stalingrad. The board game is a great game and this port is outstanding. I have bought too many Boardgame ports that just didn’t hit the mark or were difficult to manage. This port replicates the game so flawlessly, it has basically replaced the board game for me….The board game manual is included and if you are still confused, check out BoardGameGeek or YouTube for some tutorials of the boardgame. You will be playing in no time.
