No Pass & Play

Very disappointed this doesn’t have a pass & play option so I can play locally with friends & family.

Pretty good, but still needs fine tuning

As others have reported, this is a mostly good, not to mention beautiful, digital version of a great board game. There are a few things that make me crazy, though:
The pop-up when playing a treasure card makes it VERY hard, and sometimes impossible, to choose the common treasures you want. The overlay covers them up and you can’t zoom in or out to adjust how they show up on the screen.
Not being able to see how many fish I have at any given time is maddening. Keeping track of your fish is a major strategic need.
Several times my cat has been locked into place when I’ve pushed the ‘rotate’ button. The buttons are just too close together. This is handled much better on the phone app instead of the iPad or tablet app.
Fix these things and I’ll come back with a 5 star review.

Response from developer

Hello, we're sorry these issues soured your experience, and we appreciate the feedback. We've passed your comments along to our team!

Not in german 🤯

Sorry guys without the german version 3 stars is to much, but the game is good. If the german version arives I give more stars.

Really Cute But Still Needs Work

Really cute and fun but a little glitchy and there aren’t enough users yet to make use of the online play. Maybe there are in a larger city but where I am now there are never any players on. The AI games are fun though and good practice for when I go to play the real game with some friends that have it. I will say that I think it’s too expensive for what you get, especially since they don’t have many users yet so there really is no online play.

Great but no async games

I enjoy this game much more than I thought I would as usual from Direwolf it’s a top notch digital implementation. However there is no async mode in multiplayer. I’m a busy person, but I love to play board games, but to get the most out of them I need an async mode.

Every other Direwolf game I own has this feature.

This is disappointing as it means I don’t play this game as much as I would like, so I’ve dropped a star off my review.
