Maracaibo Digital

Never any issues with my iPad. This game is deep and brilliantly brought to life. Misses out on the multiplayer front.

I gave the developers a chance to respond to this before writing this review. If I could give 0 stars, then I would. The app doesn’t even work on the iPad. It is stuck in a portrait orientation but landscape layout, so the game only takes up half of the screen and the other half is the buttons to start the game, etc. Unplayable. I wrote to the devs twice trying to get support, but was ignored. After a six week wait, I’ve decided to write this review to warn others away.

You play solitaire version, there are no computer opponents, which makes it BORING

I’ve played the game a few times and have not yet been able to get through one game without it locking up and not being able to move past the 3rd round.

App is buggy right off the bat. It opens in landscape mode but half the picture is off the screen and you can’t see the content. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting iPad,etc…nothing works. Requested refund.

This feels like a very solid implementation of the Maracaibo board game. It has a ton of potential, but it is also hurt from various things that simply need polishing. * All actions should be undoable within a single turn. In essence you should be able to restart your turn if desired (or at least make this an option in settings). At the moment the undo seems limited, even within a single turn. * The tutorial would greatly benefit from a back button, so that you can easily step back a screen or two and re-read something. * The game doesn't handle mobile devices properly that have the default system font set to a larger size. * On Apple silicon devices (macOS versus iOS) the game starts is the wrong orientation and can not be rotated, so it is basically unplayable, even though it appears to be running fine. On the featureside, it would be great if there was support for multiple online players, both realtime via local bluetooth or internet, and a delayed email-style turn taking feature, where oneplayer takes their turn the other player recives a notifcation that it is their turn and then whever they start the app and take their turn, the next player is notified, etc, so that a game can be played as time allows over a few days, or whatever. It would also be great to see content from the new expansion and any additional promos, etc.

Issues have been fixed with recent update. One of my favorites to play on my phone.

Just bought the game and the screen is locked into a position making the game unplayable. Looking at the recent patch notes as of 2days ago this is supposedly fixed. Guess not, waste of money.

The game hangs after the first automatic player move, with no input possible.

Another person mentioned the board being stuck to where you cannot view the bottom section. this happens to me about 50 percent of the time if I have an unfinished game- if I exit out and log back in , it fixes it SOMETIMES. The way you can tell is if there is a small snippet of the scroll that appears saying to move your ship 1 to 7 spaces. If I log in and see that little Snippet at the top, I immediately shut out of the game and restart it until it goes away - pretty frustrating but it is not game breaking like another mentioned _. Hopefully this gives insight to fix it- also , if they added multiplayer this would be one of the best board game apps on iOS. Thanks!
