User reviews

Pathetic algorithm for 1 vs 1..at times it roll 15+ times the number 4 when your opponent is loosing and the algorithm is trying to make them win. Robber will stay only on you for the entire game as only your opponent gets 7. In one of the games 8 occured 5 times and 7 occured 17 times with me buying 10 robber cards and the opponent getting 3 victory point cards and losing the game despite having the most probable numbers

good app, but it locks in landscape mode after starting a game and stays that way after the game. The paid subscription is too expensive and there are too many popups about it, requires a lot of extra tapping.

Great copycat of Catan, however the new update is not great as the phone menu UI can't rotate out of landscape orientation and won't let you navigate the lobby without restarting the game. Minus another star for required subscription plans to host a match with all expansions at a hefty $240/year but it is nice you can still play with the expansion if someone else hosts.
