Initially you can't see how the enemy has positioned his troops and he can't see yours which gives ample opportunity for bluffing and deception from both sides. "4 out of 5. We recommend the program to board game lovers." - Download.com "It's like chess spliced with Minesweeper and Guess Who. Bearing in mind how important subterfuge and bluffing are in the original game, the silicon opponents provided are remarkably sharp." - EuroGamer.com For the latest news on all my games follow @SeansGames on Twitter! ## The General Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/82/ec/4b/82ec4b85-37d1-43c8-3ef6-7a4e56732674/mzl.dpnyjjyu.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/19/10/c0/1910c04a-5281-25d9-0d79-b62b4fa3e867/mzl.qiahhjen.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/16/55/2f/16552ffa-9ce3-7345-fb32-a6c5a6cfdf1f/mzl.pskgvszg.png/640x960.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple114/v4/b9/98/e1/b998e188-e087-13b8-b67e-411c8e649a23/mzl.rxcszwkt.png/640x960.png) ## The General Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 5 (63%) - 4 stars: 2 (25%) - 3 stars: 1 (13%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## The General Reviews in United States ### ***** "Fantastic game" It is just like the classic board game. Challenging AI, customizable settings, and low price. I have sunk a lot of hours into this gem of an app. 5/5 -- Defraum23, 2023-08-17 ### ***** "Takes me back to my childhood!" Just like my favorite childhood (and young-adult) board game! -- GrammarJunky, 2020-08-22 ### ***-- "Great game But extremely slow!!!" I love this game but at times it is extremely slow. It takes computer 4-5 seconds to move. In a game that takes possibly hundreds of moves it's hard to concentrate when it moves slow and choppy. I finally figured out that the game is slow before the next iOS update. Once the phone is updated the game works perfectly for a few weeks then it starts to slow down and eventually you can’t play it and have to wait for the next iOS update. But otherwise an awesome game! -- jeep27030, 2018-04-20 ### ****- "Great game" It is a blast to play. Love it. But, Sometimes it slows down impossibly slow. Win loss total would be great. -- Jfabe, 2017-05-08 ### ****- "Darkhorse" Great game needs to have a win and lost total added and maybe little more animation -- Alamo city -DVM, 2017-03-09 ### ***** "Excellent AI" Great game with sophisticated AI. If you like Stratego and don't need multiplayer functionality, you'll love this. Don't believe the haters. -- News lover 808, 2017-01-24 ### *---- "What the heck happened?" The new version is horrible. Very laggy and slow, takes forever to play a game. CPU moves are choppy and slow. Such disappointment. I played the old version thousands of times, but now I'm considering deleting the game. -- cornboxxx, 2015-11-21 ### ***** "Excellent Strategy Game" You are probably looking at this app because you want a game of strategy similar to Stratego. There exist dozens of variations of the same concept all over the world and over the Internet. The General by Sean O'Connor is one of the best I've ever encountered in the form of a computer game. I've noticed it is very polished and works without slowdown or glitches. This app has so many useful options that contribute to enjoyable play. You get 6 different AI engines from what it seems. Maybe it's just one engine but has 6 difficulties. You get a number of themes for the pieces. You also get a very good selection of predetermined arrangements to play as. You can also horizontally reverse each. Overall I've found no issues with this app whatsoever. It should provide lots of enjoyment to any fan of turn based strategy games and board games. -- Drawgood, 2015-11-17 ### *---- "Incredibly Slow" As other reviews mention, latest updates made gameplay incredibly slow. Game is basically unplayable now. Fix, or I will delete. -- MaggityMatey, 2015-08-10 ### *---- "Bad update" After update it is starting up correctly but is very very slow. On a iPad 2. Please roll it back to the reversion. The last update ruined my favorite game. Please roll it back. It is way to slow now and it's smaller graphics. Update July 11 still to slow to play. Just put the old version back -- Tattoohank, 2015-07-11 [View all The General reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The General Discovered Keywords - general - the general ## Apps Similar to The General - [Dust in the Wings](https://apptail.io/app/dust-in-the-wings-TLcd/united-states) - [Constantinople Board Game](https://apptail.io/app/constantinople-board-game-lDug/united-states) - [Thrive Board Game](https://apptail.io/app/thrive-board-game-lIug/united-states) - [Blither](https://apptail.io/app/blither-XTZk/united-states) - [Reef Encounter](https://apptail.io/app/reef-encounter-Rjvl/united-states) - [Fowl Play!](https://apptail.io/app/fowl-play-Sjvl/united-states) - [PocketCiv](https://apptail.io/app/pocketciv-fxUp/united-states) - [Triqqy Senet](https://apptail.io/app/triqqy-senet-aqwq/united-states) - [Checkers Champion](https://apptail.io/app/checkers-champion-vbEt/united-states) - [Checkers & Draughts Board Game](https://apptail.io/app/checkers-draughts-board-game-bitw/united-states) ## The General Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/united-states) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/netherlands) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/germany) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/australia) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/greece) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/canada) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/austria) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/belgium) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/switzerland) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/spain) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/france) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/hong-kong) - [Luxembourg](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/luxembourg) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/mexico) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/sweden) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/slovakia) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/hungary) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/ireland) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/india) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/japan) - [Senegal](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/senegal) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/madagascar) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/taiwan) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/nigeria) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/chile) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/new-zealand) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/portugal) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/ecuador) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/estonia) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/romania) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/azerbaijan) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/algeria) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/the-general-Mfzg/colombia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
