Both ways it's very enjoyable, and it's hard for a game to do that." - The Game Boy Geek "Lanterns offers tile-placement and set-collection with a twist, and that twist makes it more interactive than other tile placement games I’ve tried. ... I loved the simplicity and interactivity of the game, as well as the originality." - The Opinionated Gamers Lanterns: The Harvest Festival offers all of the fun and depth of the tabletop game, PLUS: • Online asynchronous matchmaking against old friends and new • Strategic solo play to hone your skills against AI players • Progressive Challenge system to guide you through gameplay • Intuitive tap-and-drag tile placement for fast and easy play For more information, please visit www.direwolfdigital.com Follow us on Facebook and Twitter at /direwolfdigital Information Seller:Dire Wolf Digital Genre:Board, Strategy Release:Oct 31, 2016 Updated:Jul 14, 2021 Version:2.1.1 Size:311.1 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #2 mzinn, Nov 3, 2016 Last edited: Nov 3, 2016 Enjoying it so far. Only a few minutes in but seems very well done. The pics don't do this game justice. Dev should post gameplay video.

I was looking forward to this game but underwhelmed by the pics provided by the dev. Also, when I went to the dev home site, no vid was forthcoming. Based on your positive vibes, I'm going to take the leap. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #4 currymutton, Nov 3, 2016 Really need a gameplay video. The gameplay looks very appealing to kids as well mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #5 mzinn, Nov 3, 2016 Last edited: Nov 3, 2016 It seems similar to Patchwork gameplay wise. Take turns, get new tiles, place tiles, gain lanterns, trade lanterns to make dedications (get points) 3 levels of AI & Multiplayer I just played 4 games & It's got a nice slow easy pace with the perfect zen music sprinkled in. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #6 mzinn, Nov 3, 2016 For sure. Kids would have no problem learning, playing, & enjoying this one. Valentia Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Jan 20, 2009 618 1 18 Female Retired! California #7 Valentia, Nov 3, 2016 Thank you, this sold me. I am always looking for relaxing games! wonderbear Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2008 120 11 18 #8 wonderbear, Nov 3, 2016 I enjoy playing the board game with my kids and also with just adults. Looks like I'll be picking this up as well. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #9 currymutton, Nov 3, 2016 Played the tutorial. Seems easy to grasp. Still not entirely sure how the tokens work. Misguided Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2009 2,346 19 38 #10 Misguided, Nov 3, 2016 These guys have their hands in a ton of stuff right now, like ES Legends, Eternal, and this. They also have the physical game Clank, which looks really cool and will hopefully get a digital version. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #11 mzinn, Nov 3, 2016 Last edited: Nov 3, 2016 You exchange 2 tokens & 1 lantern for a lantern color of your choice to help you get a better hand. I.e. If you have all the lantern colors except a white. You could swap tokens & a lantern for a white lantern & make the seven unique dedication. Obviously same idea for four of a kind & three pair dedications. Get rid of a lantern color you don't currently need in order to take the color you do need so that you can get the highest point dedication. currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #12 currymutton, Nov 3, 2016 Last edited: Nov 3, 2016 Thanks, but what about the one of 鍾 ? mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #13 mzinn, Nov 3, 2016 Is that just another token? Sorry I didn't pay too much attention to what was on them. LordGek Well-Known Member Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 12,282 141 63 Software QA Engineer Saratoga, CA, USA #14 LordGek, Nov 3, 2016 Yeah, maybe they'll become the new Playdek (in a good way, I mean). Tinsel Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2008 508 5 18 #15 Tinsel, Nov 4, 2016 I am definitely interested in Clank, and don't forget Cardcraft! Also (hoping a dev sees this), is there a reason we can't use our Eternal accounts for Lanterns as well? Both are self published, correct? I understand why ESL has to be separate as it uses our Bethesda/Zenimax accounts, but why separate Eternal and Lanterns accounts? dalbertson Well-Known Member Jan 25, 2011 485 2 18 #16 dalbertson, Nov 4, 2016 This is pretty timely; Wil Wheaton plays Lanterns on Tabletop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOvWFe6k0f4 djstout Well-Known Member Jul 21, 2011 2,685 105 63 Sportscaster & football (soccer) coach Taiwan & Japan #17 djstout, Jan 14, 2017 Is this a must have? It looks really good and I'm thinking about getting it, it's been on my wish list for s little while now. LordGek Well-Known Member Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 12,282 141 63 Software QA Engineer Saratoga, CA, USA #18 LordGek, Jan 14, 2017 I enjoy it, sort of a fun hybrid of dominoes and poker. One interesting unique mechanic is that no matter your move, you're always giving some resources to the other players. A big part of the game is somehow balancing what resources you gather with what you'll essentially be giving away to each of the other players. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

This is pretty timely; Wil Wheaton plays Lanterns on Tabletop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOvWFe6k0f4
