Requires internet, DRM?

Canโ€™t play on plane if WiFi is not working or if in remote area unless you booted the app when you had connection, was traveling and ran into this just stuck at loading screen unless you have internet. Not great for a board game app that was paid for especially just to access solo play. Game itself is pretty good port of physical with some quirks as others have mentioned would be 4 stars if internet was not required to boot

no offline mode is ridiculous

why would you build the app this way? canโ€™t play it on a plane, canโ€™t play it on the go, canโ€™t play it unless you have wi-fiโ€ฆ itโ€™s insane

Doesn't work offline

Every time I go out of service, the game becomes stuck on the loading screen. It's rather annoying. I don't expect much from Asmodee to begin with as they abandon games after a period of time (Splendor, for ex) anyway. But I expect that something as popular as this game would be challenging and work offline all the time. 3 stars for the game. Zero for Asmodee and Knights of Unity

Love a digital option

This game is true to the board game version in most regards. It does have a few quirks I wish that theyโ€™d straighten out, mostly for the online play, getting a game started requires coordination so your friends are online at the same time, even if youโ€™re setting the game up for come and go play with a 30 day limit. There are also seemingly no push notifications when itโ€™s your turn. Minor nuisances but they could improve quality of life. A bigger more confusing thing is that when someone ends those style games the game just vanishes, no way to see final moves or final scores. Who won? Only the player who made the final move may know.
