How to tell when you can't figure out how to play from the tutorial?

Interactive tutorial will be something we add. If the AI is challenging you, try the vain style instead.

You can also click the question mark at the top of screen to get in game hints about things in the game.

Really, I just want you to enjoy your purchase, so let me know if I can help.

It is fun actually and I disagree. The tutorial is not great, but at the end of it all rules are clear. Learning t play needs playing. It is a game that is different from what I was expecting and played so far. But in a positive way.

I hope their universal async update comes fast so that the game still gets a decent adoption, since playing online (especially with more than two) seems to be quite nice.

To the devs: please make an async playing with a timer of choice like for playdek plsss

Let's be honest now. Although there certainly is things to improve with the tutorial it goes through the rules, which are quite simple and elegant. If the tutorial doesn't make it for you, it's possible to read the rules so if you where able to learn a boardgame prior to ios gaming you most certainly can learn to play this one.

The app itself is very polished and nice, although there are some bugs. Switchen from three players back to two before starting a game, still lets you choose the third color when using the zombie, and activating the follow on facebook-thing gives you a pointless middle screen when pressing back fron the options. But the game is rather well designed, although the amount of strategic choices makes it a bit overwhelming, at least for starters. It's like playing chess for the first time, even though you know how the peices move you still suck since you aren't familiar with the different setups and longer term tactics.

The AI however is far from impossible and I am 3-0 against balanced easy as for now. A bit pro is the stats, which shows you how many moves, shoves, activated abilities on differens classes and other interested things. These accumulates as well.

Overall a very good abstract game. May not be for everyone but fans of certain Knizia's should take a gamble with their dollar. Making it universal and async could really make it compete with other titles like outwitters for fans of turn based strategy titles.

Thanks

I lost a bunch and just kept playing until I finally won a game. The AI is so good that you actually feel accomplished when you beat it. Plus this game is so sneaky, lol.

Anyway, now I'm afraid to play again, because I fear the game I won was a fluke and I'm going to go right back to losing.
