I couldnt get the tutorial to work, it kept telling me to place the wall on the highlighted square and there was no highlighted square.

I think I'll leave this to you hardcore fans.

Agreed

Never had this happen to me before and I've picked up lots of games in the first hour of release with no "unavailable" messages.

Anyway, tho can't d/l game so can't comment on sizing of cards here, I had issues with text on ascension and several other games as well. I quickly learn them by image and all is well. If you think this might be a game for you, play through a few times and hopefully you stop having to zoom all the time and just remember what the cards do.

Critical houghts so far.

I wish the highlight was brighter cause I often don't even notice it

Tapping the opponents dice on an iPad is annoying because the top center is not an easy place to tap when holding it in both hands

Deck builder on iPad isn't working (can't slide cards out)

Deck builder on iPhone works but doesn't sync across devices (I was pretty sure playdek said it syncs with iCloud)

A setting to auto pass phases where I can't do anything would be appreciated

Remove the buy button from the card gallery, especially for users that bought everything

The criticisms about the small card sizes on the iPhone are totally accurate but it's necessary since you need to be able to see the entire board. You can double tap anywhere on the map to zoom into that area which should help.

As for the game itself... Well it's my favorite card game of all time and playdek has done it justice. No surprise there.

EDIT: I should also mention that I've played for a long time and like ascension, carcassonne, nueroshima hex, etc I play on my iPad and only use the iPhone versions to play online when I'm not home since I'm already well versed in the tiles/cards/pieces

Quite enjoying the loading screen. But that is all i get. Crash, crash, crash...

I know that the card have to be small; I'm referring to the size of the cards and text after you have already zoomed in on the card by double tapping. I wish there was at least an option that would, when zooming in on a card, have the card fill the screen. Following that, if you could then double tap the text box on the already zoomed in card to further increase the text size (by removing the symbols and art), I would finally splurge on the expansions to the Playdek games I already own.

If you have an ipad, of course, this is no problem.

And mind you, I've played a lot of iOS ccg/tcg/deckbuilding games, beginning with the original Orions. Playdek certainly makes some of the best...they just seem to have the most agonizingly tiny text, card, and gui features.

You know how I feel after I play a round of a Playdek game? Have you seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? I feel like a cross between the Nazi who saw inside the Ark of the Covenant and the guy from Clockwork Orange who has his eyelids pulled open with clamps.

The download still isn't working for me.

Is it possible for someone who has access to the servers that are working to gift the app to me? Is that a workaround?

[sapphire_neo]

It came out during the only 5 hours I wasn't looking, and now it won't even download? I feel betrayed...
