App summary

Now includes the add on Fire and Ice!

In a world of fantasy, called Terra Mystica, 14 races are fighting together or individually against their opponents to gain power and territory. Using their resources smartly and terraforming wisely to gain supremacy and lead their own settlers to victory. The original digital conversion of the highly decorated Terra Mystica board game of Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller. Play against other players world wide or challenge the computer opponent.

Overview:

Terra Mystica is a strategy game with a simple game principle and very little luck involved: You govern one of 14 factions trying to transform the Landscape on the game board in your favor in order to build your Structures. On the one hand, proximity to other players limits your options for further expansion, on the other hand though, it provides some benefits during the game. This conflict is the source of Terra Mystica's appeal.
Structures may be upgraded to provide even more resources, like Workers, Priests, Coins and Power. Build Temples to gain more influence in the four Cults of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air . Build your Stronghold to activate your group's special ability. Expand and build new Dwellings to have a lot of Workers at hand. Or make sure to have a constant flow of Coins by building Trading Posts.
The 14 artfully designed factions, each having unique special abilities, as well as the exchangeable bonus cards allow for a large number of possible game plays that constantly keep this game entertaining!

It's a beautiful game but it has a scoring error. The "Most Settlements" scoring is displayed incorrectly and the app frequently messes up determining who has the most settlements. You'll either have to reboot until it doesn't use that tile or score the game by hand to compensate for the bad coding.

First impression: bad tutorial, too busy UI, not possible to get info on what is depicted (no hoover tooltip). Only suitable for people that already know how to play this game. I now find no fun in this game as it is unclear to me how you play it. Wasted money. For people looking for good digital adaptations of board games: try Raiders of the North Sea or Root.

Update: They migrated to a new server so I'm giving this game another chance, but $10 is still pretty steep. Hopefully they'll decide to enroll in Play Pass. Original Review: Desperately needs polishing and bug squashing. There are regular game breaking time out issues in multiplayer. Online and ranked games seem to stick on the AI, which forces the following player to time out and loose the game. UI is clunky.
