| 2024-12-11 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | Horrible at this point, I completely unplayable. I thought of using the browser but it forc me redirects me to the app which gets stuck at loading l, not that I could play on it even if it did load |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | Fun game, but the sevens are out of control. If you ever play against the computer and start winning, they're guaranteed to keep rolling sevens until they catch up. Last game's rolls for reference: 4 rolls or less: 2-5, 8, 11, 12 7-9 rolls: 6, 9, 10 16 ROLLS: 7 |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | Terrible AI. Three play against you. No sense in strategy. Robber placement by AI doesn't make sense. Trade with AI is mostly useless. Dice play against you (if you advancing it will always roll 7 or place robber on hex and roll that hex to fit statistics). Best option to win AI is always good odds on rock, whey and wool and last moment longest road/largest army. Multiplayer??? Money pumping. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | I'm so regretful that I spent so much time on this game. I thought it's a free alternative for Catan, but it's NOT. Developers do anything to kill the fun. Maps, dices, everything is preset and rigged. You're just playing the same scenario every damn time. And of course it's pay-to-win. Stay away if you like Catan. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | The settings button is not working when you are in the game. Very very very frustrating as you can't get out of the game or resign. This is in android potrait mode. Please fix that asap. |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | Sure, it's hella buggy. Sometimes the toggle between portrait and landscape for my android switches randomly when the app opens preventing one from selecting a game. And sure sometimes it randomly disconnects and closes. And sure, the dice rolling is clearly not random. But it's the best free widely available version out there that's as faithful to the real thing... well as far as I know( which is not that far...). I love this app, for allowing me to enjoy a game I love with others that love it |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | Totes a ranked play option but uses "balanced" die instead of random die. Not to mention the absolute egregious amount of times two 7's are rolled in a row. This app tries to make the game fair, but only makes it less enjoyable in the process. Update: I gave it another chance and it still is the worst game I've possibly ever played. |
