Reiner Knizia Yellow & Yangtze

A quand Tigre & Euphrat ?

Played Solo mode thus far. I’ve played T&E before (IRL and on the app), but only read up about this game. Knowing about half of how this game works, I was able to jump into a game with little issue. Rules can be referenced in-game, and they’re separated out by category (e.g. Actions, Tiles, Revolt) which is convenient. Also convenient is you can suspend and resume games. AI trounces me even on easy AI difficulty level. I’m neutral about this because even though it’s nice to win, a challenging AI has its own perks. Would like it if we had the ability to pick our own faction, rather than being stuck with the Dragon (and no, it’s not just b/c the Arrow/Archer faction seems to always win Revolts and Wars. That was my preference in T&E as well). Also, add the option to make score public/open info. Last but not least, why can’t I undo the point before I need to select a Pagoda on the board toto steal?

Nothing about this experience is smooth or works well.

They made this a joy to play. Love the graphics, etc. Can knock out an AI game of three players in fifteen minutes. AI was tough, but now I consistently win about 2/3 of games on hard. Only bug I’ve noticed after 30+ games is that when I have two blue tiles and two green tiles and I’m wanting to move a monument, it only allows me to destroy a tile (peasant revolt) instead. Haven’t found a way around it.

Bugs are making the game borderline unplayable. Constantly freezing during tile or leader placement or not registering that you completed your actions. Having to constantly close and reopen the app to redo the same move over again.

They used to be the best company in the digital board game adaptation business. But now they charge you $125 for Dune: Imperium, and don’t give you all the components after over 13 months. And support will not respond.

Amazingly polished implementation of a fantastic game. Developers are responsive to bug reports too! Get this game, it is incredible.

Game is great but when playing multiplayer right now the app isn’t alerting me or my buddies that it’s our turn. It’s making the game unplayable asynchronously. Will adjust scores when it’s working correctly.

I learned how to play through the app and instructions were clear enough that I could hop in but as I play the strategy becomes more and more apparent, good stuff!

Great digital version of the game. So much fun. The Training and Campaign are great ways for new players to learn quickly and efficiently. Glad that it has full casual asynchronous play (3 day limit) as most digital board games do not.
