When your turn arrives you will see your tile in the bottom right corner. Place your tile by tapping on the board so that it matches the existing ones. You can zoom the game are by pinch or with the zoom buttons. You can rotate with the rotate button on the right side. The tile will only rotate into good positions. Put one of your meeples (the little avatars at the top) on the tile by clicking on a red circle. This way you can occupy a city, castle, road, cloister or field (an entity). Click 'Submit' - the program will warn you if the tile doesn't match or if the entity was already occupied. When you complete an occupied entity you get points for it and your player(s) are returned. During the game you get points when you complete a city, castle, road, river, field or cloister occupied by you. If more than one player occupies a city the one with the most meeples will get the points. The game ends when all tiles are placed. At the end of the game you also get points for uncompleted entities. Carcassonne, Seven Castles and Seven Seas game types each have a different scoring. For a complete set of rules check the Guide section inside the game. ## Key features - Tile placement for building - Real-time multiplayer - Score points for completed structures - Lobby and game lists - Demo game option - Multiple game types and expansions ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 10 Transylvanian golds | $0.99 | one-time | | 20 Transylvanian golds | $1.99 | one-time | | 50 Transylvanian golds | $4.99 | one-time | | 80 Transylvanian golds | $7.99 | one-time | | 100 Transylvanian golds | $9.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (7 of 7) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seven-castles/id969505290/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Worst interface... *2017-07-09* ...ever. ### 3/5 — Seven castles *2016-04-14* I have this game on my tablet and I love to play it so I wanted to download it onto my phone so I could play it on the go. However when I did download it to my iPhone 6 Plus it keeps showing an error message when I try to log in through either Facebook or Game Center. Therefore I can not play the game. Fix this please! ### 2/5 — Fun.. But!! *2015-12-27* Love this game, but it constantly kicks me off MID GAME and sends me back to the log in. They dock you points every time you "leave" a game. Wish there was a better version or they'd fix this bug. ### 1/5 — Can't connect *2015-11-07* The game won't let me connect to either game center or Facebook, it keeps telling me to check network connection, my connection is fine. Something is wrong with the game, and it won't let me play unless I connect... ### 5/5 — Great quick Carcassone *2015-10-05* Fun and easy to play if you need a Carcassone fix. ### 2/5 — Kicks me out *2015-05-16* iPhone version works fine, but ipad version kicks me out within 5 moves. ### 1/5 — Update *2015-03-31* I downloaded this app & I really want to play this game, but I don't have a FB account nor do I use the iOS Game Center. Please update this app so that anybody can play. ## Frequently asked questions about Seven Castles ### How do you play Seven Castles?
