Still supported

Still supported after all these years, you guys are boss

Simply great

App devs, please don’t ever get rid of the support for this app. Or, if you do, please give all of us fans a permanent version we can keep for the ages. This is SUCH a fun way to play this board game, and as someone that has spent a lot of money on cardboard for this game over the years, I hope to KEEP playing it for many years to come.

Awesome app, but doesn’t support first edition

Cool app and well developed but I wish the developers would offer the option within the app to switch between 1st and 2nd edition.

App Crashes in Town

I don’t think anyone will fix this at this point with a new edition of the game out, but multiple times on different save slots when going back to town after our second encounter the app crashed. Upon loading most of the items that were up for sale in the market were no longer available. The first screen of items (before it crashed) only showed three instead of four. Annoying.

Adding items to inventory

So in the game you can find treasure to add to you inventory while on a quest but I don’t see where to add the items I find to my inventory if I stop playing and come back I won’t remember all the items I’ve received. That’s my biggest complaint.
