Terra Mystica

I understand why you can not chose which factions to play when doing multiplayer but why not when playing local?? Makes no sense. If I want to try out a faction, there is no way to do it.

Terra Mystica is one of my favourite board games, but the poor interface and lack of developer support really make this adaptation disappointing. On some of the menus (cult track, for instance), it is very hard to figure out what magical point on the screen you have to click and how many times in order to take the action you want to. After being stuck on a screen for 10 minutes I had to look up in the forums how to take the action (it turns out that when you press on a certain part of the screen the game registers your choice and makes a banner disappear, but with no confirmation that a choice has been made - very poor design.) The fact that that forum post is years old proves that this publisher (Digidiced), ported over the game "well enough" for a quick buck, and doesn't stand behind its games. There are many better platforms to play this game on. Don't support developers who don't support their games.

I tired to get behind this and felt this was like over-complicated version of Catan - Requesting a refund. I did not enjoy playing this.

Complicated game and takes a long time to gain a decent level of competence. I’m still working out if I think it’s a worthwhile exercise! For learning to play without annoying real opponents I think this app is pretty good: the AIs are easily good enough to be challenging. It’s a bit buggy though (it has frozen completely on me a few times - mainly when I used 'undo' actions) and I would like a bit more guidance (e.g. hover over things to see some explanation tooltips). I haven't explored the 'ranked game' option much yet - the only time I tried I didn't get opponents quickly enough - but I would hope the freezes would not occur in that scenario... I really liked the little sonic motifs for each character/faction.

fun and great board game to play

the same is a great strategy game. the port to "video game version" could be better though. The UI is not as accessible as many other board games turned virtual
