Reiner Knizia Yellow & Yangtze

I love this straightforward implementation of one of my favorite board games. App is attractive and works well EXCEPT that the tiles are key at the bottom of my screen, which means that half the time I try to slide a tile onto the board, my iPhone thinks I’m trying to switch apps. Could the tiles please be placed on the side or something?? Maybe in a corner? Very frustrating.

There’s a lot of great boardgames that have miserable ports to digital. This one is great. Easy to use. Great visuals and music which enhance the game and don’t slow it down. If you don’t like it, chances are its because you really don’t understand how to play. There’s a video walkthrough of this app. Give it a try.

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.
