Some reviewers have said that the real treat of the BG version is the 3D train that serves as the playing area. However, given the port to a 2D digital format, I'm looking for feedback from folks who have purchased this version commenting on how well it plays. o0oJAKEo0o Well-Known Member May 23, 2012 322 1 16 Full-Time Student KCMO #4 o0oJAKEo0o, Nov 28, 2016 Already bought and downloaded. Will be playing tonight. I can't wait. skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #5 skoptic, Nov 28, 2016 Bought and played, looks like a nicely produced game. Good tutorial, tried a bit of campaign also good... I'm new to the game so learning possibilities but seems nicely strategic with a dose of igougo haphazardness. It looks like another great conversion - recommended! orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #6 orangecan, Nov 28, 2016 I'm very tempted but I have a hit and miss relationship with board games - both physical and virtual - but this has been on my games I'd like to play list for a while.... Son of Anarchy Well-Known Member Oct 5, 2015 717 130 43 Male Shadow Runner Australia #7 Son of Anarchy, Nov 28, 2016 Excited to see this on iOS, and it does look like a nicely produced high quality game in the video. Do you have any thoughts on whether it'd be playable on iPhone (ie text too small or whatnot)? Nice find by the way. ZS77 Well-Known Member May 8, 2015 566 2 18 #8 ZS77, Nov 29, 2016 Noooo! That sucks. # # What happened to the days of iOS 6 and above? Apple's constant iOS updating and subsequently the Devs need to set a higher minimum OS to make sure it's 'future proofed' is really starting to do my noodle in! nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 864 14 18 #9 nkarafo, Nov 29, 2016 I know.. This sucks a lot! No more the days where you had ios 6 or 7 for board games. These types of games are not too much graphic overload and could be played on past ios versions. You have to either constantly update your ios devices with everything this means: maybe lower performace OR buy new idevices periodically - regularly in order to have the latest ios version... Next year we will have ios 11 and later on, 12 (ios 9 will be obsolete) and this goes forever... skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #10 skoptic, Nov 29, 2016 Just played on my 6S - very playable. There isn't too much text in game (round start objectives mainly) and the cards have no text, but what is there is fine for me to read (I'm 'old' at just over 40... but don't have glasses). Each round has 2 phases, schemin' (selecting cards for next few moves) and stealin' (carrying out those moves). Because each card action has a clear objective / action button (i.e. Big buttons come up to select which loot in a room you pick up,or which direction to punch) you don't need to click and hope on a smaller screen. The admodee login for MP has saved my uname/pword and has synced my 1 player campaign progress across devices. Swapping to another app brings up pause screen (not tested quitting and overloading memory). So all in It looks truly universal in that it's very playable on both. Looks stable, has no immediately obvious 'lack of developer love' niggles. Pandemic is a great digital board game conversion from Asmodee and this looks just as good. fabianb Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2014 1,009 0 36 #11 fabianb, Nov 29, 2016 How does the multiplayer work? nkarafo Well-Known Member Mar 2, 2011 864 14 18 #12 nkarafo, Nov 29, 2016 PC gameplay video (tutorial) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWPw6ft7ObA hedgey Well-Known Member Apr 20, 2012 99 6 8 #13 hedgey, Nov 29, 2016 I'm always looking for a good digital board game. Interested in people's impressions after a day of release. fabianb Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2014 1,009 0 36 #14 fabianb, Nov 30, 2016 Anyone? currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #15 currymutton, Nov 30, 2016 You can create "quick game" (no customization) or "custom game", which allows variants and options, both local and online. However, when you create a game, or join a game, you must wait for all the players to join in first before starting. Just like TTR. So I am never able to find enough people to join in the game before I run my battery out. So I cannot figure out if the game is async or not... 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 #16 LordGek, Nov 30, 2016 One aspect I really appreciate but didn't get at first, is the game's many variant rules aren't actually different game modes but, much like expansions in Ascension, all optional rules/twists you can have going concurrently in a game. So, being a masochistic freak I'm looking forward, once I've unlocked them all, to trying a game with ALL of the variants in effect. fabianb Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2014 1,009 0 36 #17 fabianb, Nov 30, 2016 So it's difficult to find people online? currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #18 currymutton, Dec 1, 2016 Honestly, may be I live in Aisa (GMT+8 to be exact), there are not many online during the times I played (around 13-14 people), and the message board in-app seems to fill with message that complain about similar things. To be fair, there are many players of TTR who have no problem with the scheme like this, but just not me. TTR is like this, Treasure Hunter is like this and another one in beta(which I choose not to name right now) is also like this. They all play async but adopt sync game joining method. I really dunno why. pjft Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2011 1,082 8 38 #19 pjft, Dec 2, 2016 In TTR game joining is async if you explicitly invite people - which is what I do with my wife. Unfortunately, they chose to go fully real time for Splendor :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #20 currymutton, Dec 13, 2016 Update is out for a day or so. You can now create private game -- BUT! All the players you invite must also be online as well or you need to stay in the app until everybody joins in. Ridiculous!
