Lost Cities

This game is too buggy. Its a good way to learn the game but holds no value after you understand it. The cpu's are compete morons, there's no difficulty adjustments. They say that each cpu avatar has its own style of play which is nonesense. They all play stupid. They'll pick up discard cards that cant be played, they'll dump high value cards, they'll wager up and play little to nothing. I think my dog could play better than these cpu's. The scoring makes sense until you reach end game and they reverse the scores on you for whatever reason. Not only that, they record your scores from previous games so if you lost a round due to the buggy score system that reverses scores at the end, it mocks you later on showing you lost rounds when you really didnt. Also the game vs cpus feels like its designed to always let you win. I feel like ill get a majority of the 10's 9's 8's in each round. It doesnt feel good when the game hands you wins. This game needs drastic updates. I forgot what I paid for this but if it was anything over $2 its not worth it. Just learn and play the game on Board game arena online.

The game randomly switches scores when playing against the AI (the only way I play). So, I cannot play more that one round if I want to make sure the scoring does not get messed up. It appears the developers have no interest in fixing this. No fix = no recommendation.

While the game looks great and often plays fine, the scoring is sometimes completely wrong against the AI. It will sometimes switch your score with the AI score for some rounds. Not only that, but the AI is very VERY dumb. It NEVER SCORED POSITIVE POINTS against me in the first 10 games I played against it. This is mostly a complete waste of your time and money, so avoid this game. Take the $10 and put it toward purchasing the real game instead. This was published in 2018 and STILL has these issues after 8 years!! Blueline Games quite obviously doesn't care and will not be fixing it, so don't buy this game hoping for that. *EDIT* On my 11th play, the AI finally finished with above zero. One point to be exact. It's really really bad.

Played this game a few times with my friend - we love the physical card game, but live far from each other. It worked just fine the first few times we played it, not too long after it came out. Now however? It's just broken. It does not work. I can't even get it to work single player anymore. The game itself is great, but this electronic adaptation just doesn't work.

DO NOT BUY. The multiplayer is completely broken. Lobby causes crashes and if you're lucky enough and actually get in game despite error messages of blue line server trouble, you'll crash the moment you pass a turn. Tried on different PCs and even from a different account and on different network connection to eliminate that my connection/pc could be the problem. Same result. Literally unplayable, unless you want to enjoy 5% of the game by only playing against dim and dumb AI - that works. But the AI is really stupid and easy to beat (gave me an 8, which I needed to turn my triple wager 24567 column into profit)

Light and fluffy, more in line with a game like Uno or Mille borne. family friendly, a fun romp.
