### 4/5 — Nice app version of the board game

*2025-12-16*

I love the board game so I got the app to have a way to play it occasionally on the go. It does exactly that. There are a few things I wished for that are missing. As cute as the animations are I wished there was a way to skip or fast forward them after having played it a bit. I also wished the expansions of the board game were included, even if it’s a separate purchase. 

I can’t say anything about the online play, it seems nobody is ever online when I play.

### 4/5 — Great but issues.

*2025-11-08, version 1.20.5*

It’s a great game! But there are a couple of bugs. I tried to do online play and play with one of my friends, but it kept crashing. I also can’t figure out how to make an online account to get an achievement. That brings us to the next topic: achievements. There are a couple of easy ones, but one of them is literally to be the best player in the world. WHY?! Other than that’s the bots almost always just go the spot in front of you. Also what’s the puppet for on pass and play. There’s always just a puppet and a player has to move him and that means there’s always an extra player. Other than that, it’s amazing.

### 2/5 — Can’t play online

*2025-09-20, version 1.20.4*

Update: Even after the patch, the game is still unplayable! After arriving at the first inn checkpoint and finishing the meal,  players get locked out. | Bought the game to play online with someone but there is a bug that makes it so that when both players have joined, it becomes two concurrent games that play at the same time.  Makes it unplayable.

### 3/5 — Pass and Play isnt working

*2025-08-23*

The game is beaultiful, but the pass and play version crashes when adding bots to play along

**Developer response:** Hello Aipo9, we are currently in the build certification process to release the patch simultaneously across all platforms, including the pass & play fix. :) EDIT: Hey there, please see if updating to 1.20.5 resolves the issue on your end. :)

### 3/5 — Font Issue

*2024-12-28, version 1.20.3*

The stylized font for Japanese looks great, but the developer should not have used it for Chinese. This is because Kanji does not cover all Chinese characters. When you use a Japanese font for Chinese, many Chinese characters do not even exist in such a font, so they have to fallback to the default font provided by the OS, resulting in a really messy GUI.

### 4/5 — Will redownload once the expansions are out

*2024-11-18, version 1.20*

Like this game. Really, love this game.  But it needs the expansions.  Hopefully the new developers will bring that to us.

### 4/5 — great game, please fix music bug

*2024-05-24, version 1.16*

the latest update no longer let's me listen to my own music while playing

### 4/5 — Great adaptation

*2024-02-06, version 1.15*

Loved the board game but it isn’t always easy to get three people to play. So it’s nice to be able to play solo.

Only problem seems to a bug where I choose a meal at the last inn and it doesn’t give me the points. Doesn’t happen every time and it’s not limited to one character but it happens frequently enough to notice.

Other than it’s a great adaptation both in game play and visual design.

### 4/5 — Great game, but waiting for expansions

*2023-11-26, version 1.15*

It’s a great game and I play it with my partner all the time. Unfortunately the expansion packages are not included and we are tired of the characters available.

### 4/5 — Content expansions

*2023-04-06, version 1.15*

Any plans to add the Crossroads and Matsuri expansions?

### 2/5 — 不具合

*2023-03-26*

GameCenterの達成項目が反映されない。

### 4/5 — No sound/ music

*2023-01-05, version 1.15*

Good game, haven’t played the actual board game before but was easy to learn and play with a 10-year old. But neither of us gets any sound/ music. In settings we’ve tried everything from toggling music/ volume/ language to no use. We’ve tried downloading in multiple devices - phones/ iPads.. all have the same issue. Is anyone else seeing that or are we doing something completely stupid? Looks like an easy one to fix if it’s a bug!

### 4/5 — Good overall, but HUGE Bug with Chubei

*2022-11-02, version 1.15*

There is a bug with Chubei. Played a game online with a friend. In the end, there was a discrepancy in the scoring between my game and my friend’s game. He was playing Chubei - he had an extra 5 points that was not reflected on my game. When looking into the details, I saw that his game showed 2 additional panorama sections that he received from encounters which was not apparent on my game. For some reason, the panoramas from encounters are not registering.

### 3/5 — 🍜🍡🍙🍣🇯🇵

*2022-06-05*

Unfortunately achievements do not work and synchronise with GameCenter, multiplayer is dead, there is no asynchronous play. And I wish there were expansions as the game itself is too simple, the replayability is low without them.

### 3/5 — Achievements are locked

*2022-03-08, version 1.13.2*

I like the game but the achievement system doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — good game but no save …

*2022-02-28, version 1.13.2*

loved the game, and graphics, but the save button doesnt work. so you cant resume your games. its really a shame, especially if you like to play a little of the game here and there….
hope they will fix it!

### 4/5 — Please add the expansion

*2022-01-11, version 1.13.2*

This is one of my favorite games but would love if the would add the crossroads expansion with all characters & game extras!

### 1/5 — Too buggy

*2026-07-18, version 1.20.6*

The aesthetics are beautiful. But there are so many bugs it’s impossible to play it.

### 1/5 — Can’t play two player pass and play

*2026-05-18, version 1.20.6*

Seems to be a bug where two player pass and play adds 3 players

### 1/5 — Bugs: Player Count

*2025-09-11, version 1.20.4*

Just bought the game and was excited to try and learn before purchasing the physical game. Unfortunately, I’ve run into some bugs at various player counts. 

Solo seems fine. 
Pass and play 2-player also seems fine. 
3-player with 1 AI generates a 4-player game with 4-player game with 1 AI. 
4-player with 2 AI doesn’t load at all. 
5-player with 3 AI doesn’t load at all. 

Didn’t test all player counts. Just wanted to get something with AI instead of the neutral player to teach my wife the ropes.

### 1/5 — Can’t play online

*2025-08-03, version 1.20.4*

Bought the game to play online with someone but there is a bug that makes it so that when both players have joined, it becomes two concurrent games that play at the same time.  Makes it unplayable.

### 1/5 — Recent update broke pass n play

*2025-06-13, version 1.20.4*

Everything was great before the last update. But now in pass n play the game doesn’t load. Just black screen . Please fix it

### 1/5 — No Online Players

*2023-01-30, version 1.15*

There is absolutely no one online playing this game. Please save your money before thinking you’ll be paying with anyone online…

### 1/5 — Boring!

*2022-02-05, version 1.13.2*

Not worth buying. Absolutely boring! I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Online Play is Shocking

*2021-09-13, version 1.12*

In and of itself, the game is amazing. That said, it’s completely ruined by the dreadful online experience when trying to play with friends. On the rare occasion the server is able to host a 4 player game, it more often than not crashes halfway through. If they fixed the online play then this would easily be a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2021-03-14, version 1.11.01*

I loved the boardGame and I was so excited to find this app. However it is too buggy to finish a game. It took my friend and I an hour to figure out how to friend each other and start a game. Afterwards, we tried two games and both times the ai crashed. Would have liked it to at least be playable considering I paid money...

### 1/5 — Full of glitches

*2021-01-25, version 1.11.01*

I would give this game a lower star if I could. It deserves negative stars. If I buy a game, I want the game to actually work. It does not work more than half the time. THe developer also never bothered to fix the game. Please do yourself a favor and don’t buy it. Don’t let the devs make any more money off of this game that they will not fix.

### 5/5 — Thanks for fixing the AI bug!

*2026-01-04, version 1.20.5*

This is a great game to play on the couch while relaxing before bed. Lovely art, lovely atmosphere, low tension. 

There was a bug with the pass-and-play AI but it's all fixed now. Very grateful to see this older game is still being supported by the developers!

### 5/5 — Grets

*2025-10-13*

I Only had played the solo mode, and is incredible.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review, Sérgio! :)

### 5/5 — Beautiful Classic! Can’t wait for expansions

*2023-07-29, version 1.15*

A beautiful, relaxing game which has had any earlier issues fixed by the developers. Take a vacation along the coast, with wonderfully animated characters and locations.

Now we’re waiting on the wonderful Crossroads and Matsuri expansions.

Crossroads turns every location into a choice, turning a game of hopscotch into a piece of real strategy, as you can now choose legendary souvenirs, end of game bonuses, one off powers, a risky round of gambling, and more.

Matsuri adds many new characters and adds an event at each step of the journey which affects the game, greatly improving variation and replayability.

And maybe even… promos and the New Encounters? 🤞

Even without these, my girlfriend and I love playing this game. Once they’re here, it’ll take over many dinners and game nights each week. Can’t wait!

### 5/5 — viele nette Details

*2023-07-22*

ein kleines Spiel für Zwischendurch, unterhaltsam und entspannend. wundert mich sehr, dass es nicht mehr gute Bewertungen hat.

### 5/5 — it’s so amazing!

*2023-04-13, version 1.15*

I originally got the game with my mom, the board game. but i saw this and i was so excited!!! it’s such a fun and peaceful game to play

### 5/5 — Nice Artwork

*2022-06-08, version 1.14*

Already owned the actual board game before downloading. Nice animations, artwork. Hope the expansions will be released soon.

### 5/5 — Relaxing, beautiful challenge

*2021-08-30, version 1.12*

What a beautiful game. I only play solo, so I can’t speak to online issues. But this app is flawless in solo play. 

Others have mentioned the tutorial being minimal, but I thought it sufficed and was well done. It gives you what you need to get started. Rules and strategy are easily available online if you need them, but this game is meant to be an exploration, it’s about the journey. 

The pace is relaxing, but there is still a strategy and challenge to it. It’s not overly hard nor too easy. It’s simply a relaxing, fun game.

I’m glad that when you start a new solo game, you can click in settings for that game and set it to fast AI. That’s great for when you don’t have as much time. But the regular speed is perfect for a relaxing game.

Thank you for a good game at a good price with no ads or IAP. It’s also good on battery life. I’m very happy to own this game!

### 5/5 — Add expansions!!

*2021-07-19, version 1.12*

We love this game, the artwork, and the fact that is cross platform compatible!! I just wish they’d add the expansions!

### 5/5 — Dans la continuité du jeu de plateau

*2021-02-14*

Excellente adaptation du jeu de plateau . Permet de jouer seul contre l’IA quand on a personne pour jouer avec soi au vrai jeu « lol ». Par contre , à quand les extensions...?

### 5/5 — Simultaneously relaxing and strategic

*2020-04-05, version 1.11.01*

It’s a beautiful game with a very relaxing and yet strategic play. Quickly becoming my favourite game to play before bed.
