Really enjoyable, it is a an excellent port from the board game. Graphics could be a bit better, I think they tried to keep it as close as possible to the original palette, which could be considered a plus by someone. I would definitely recommend if you like board games.
My family love this game and had it since 2020 playing online. Has always been a frustration when the game would crash and have to reload but now since the update to server literally can’t even get past the placing castle to start game play as says waiting for opponent it won’t allow to move on even though we have both placed castle and it’s the AI player we are waiting on
This is fantastic to play but what’s with the annoying people that pop up in the bottom left hand corner??
Since the update the red tick wax stamp to confirm moves doesn’t work. Game is unplayable.
I love this game, but it’s really frustrating when it freezes half way through, for no apparent reason, and there’s no way that I can find to restart it, or to store the progress made and rejoin the game. I play against the various levels of AI, so it isn’t a network/ internet problem.
I feel sad that I have to give this game two stars, but the lack of support and the numerous bugs mean that to finish a single game I am often closing an reopening the app 10+ times. Games are often abandoned as errors mean it is your go but you can’t do anything. The game itself, when it works is a good model of the fantastic board game, but again, frustratingly, you can only play 3 player games against randoms and not 2 or 4. Plus if you want to play a friend you can only play them, not with other online people... why? Because the developers are lazy and made the game, then left it here to make them continuous streams on money.
Love this game but last couple of days game crashes and no way to get back and continue playing.
Works well with AI in a 2-player game, but crashes immediately on launch with 3- or 4-player AI. Pity as otherwise it works very well. Can't comment on online play as yet to try it.
Over the years, I’ve played the physical version of Castles of Burgundy a lot. It is not the prettiest title but the gameplay means it ranks highly in Boardgamegeek’s Top 20 games. The game rewards all players with a constant flow of points, whereas experienced players can look for combos which enable them to place as many tiles as possible or maximum scoring opportunities. Digidiced’s implementation ticks most of the right boxes. The board layout takes a little getting used to but other than that the game plays intuitively. The only thing I’m not sold in graphically the board disappearing into the “toilet bowl” at the end of a turn! The AI is not especially challenging on easy and medium but hard AI runs close to another human opponent. I have two issues with the AI - firstly often it appears that the dice rolls are fixed to provide the human player with dice they can’t use -fortunately the game mitigates this so it is never a serious issue. Secondly, minor slow down can occur when playing on hard AI. I haven’t had any crashes on either the phone or the iPad. Recommended.
One of the best board games of all time, with a great mix of strategy and tactics. The only real knock on the physical version is that it looks ugly. This fixes that resoundingly. So it’s almost perfect. Only major thing I would like, as others say, is it would be nice to have an option on ranked games to choose a 2P, 3P or 4P game with random strangers once the player base is large enough to support this. But that may need a drop in the price? Also would be good if you could super-speed or turn off animations altogether when playing the AI.
