Online play but no notifications?

It’s awesome to get to play this online, on mobile at that. I don’t get notifications when it’s my turn though? I’ve tried signing out and reinstalling the app but no luck. Have to open the app to see that it’s my turn.

Quite a bummer, otherwise pretty good implementation (although sucks the hex grid doesn’t show unless you hover over the board)

Good. Could be better.

There is only one map. The instructions are difficult to understand at first. I was unclear on how to do a peasant riot for example. But entertaining.

Great. But bring us T&E

Predecessor, Tigris & Euphrates is a more timeless and unforgiving game of Knizia’s. Please bring it to us. I liked the version of T&E that was once available.

Impossible to play on cell

Pathetic
