Customer Reviews
Most Realistic Board Games
This is a great game with a very true-to-life board game feel. Seems like I am actually picking up the pieces and moving them. The multiplayer is great to play with the kids. Definitely worth the $5 for the best board games in the store.
Perfect wifi gameplay
This is great to play against one another any of these games. Good AI for kids to learn the games. Not good AI if your looking for a challenge. Get this for the wifi 2 player mode. They did in recent update flip the board for chess so player 2 (black) isn't looking at board reverse. I'd say only thing left is to make an optional 2D chess mode and we got ourselves a winner.
Good, could be better.
I waited till this went on sale, and I'm glad I did. In it's current form it's closer to $2.99 in value. Don't get me wrong it has a lot if replay value and I love all the games. Even if I don't know how to play them all yet.
My problem Is there are too many steps to just replay a game. Tic-tac-toe is a quick game, when you finish you shouldn't have to go through a couple steps just to play again, slows the fun factor. The games should assume your continuing the same setup and not forced to verify after each round.
Also, as a small issue, it would be nice to be able to add a female character face for when my daughter wants to play.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase. I hope the developers care enough to consider these suggestions to improve the app.
