    Had to purchase to download game. Was eager to play online mode. Signed up with email and it was confirmed. Unable to play. No one seems to be online to play. Unable to play w computer. I would like my money back.

  • Can’t recommend until fixed

    When you are logged in to an Asmodee account and playing a local game the turn choices do not show up on the right side, so the game is unplayable. If you logout of your Asmodee account and play a local game the game works as expected. I haven’t tried an online game so I can’t say if it has the same issue or not.

  • Great game, horrible app

    It’s a great game to play. I’m just sad because the app is so glitchy. When playing online with friends, the games can pause and /or kick players out. I’ve played a handful of games and only have been able to complete very few of the games I play. The rest, we have to time out or an “auto-player” randomly starts playing for you while you’re kicked out and unable to rejoin. Also, sometimes if you’re trying to rejoin a game, the game makes you watch every move of the game before you can play “live.” What a waste of time.

  • Perfect...until it’s not

    At first I didn’t believe the bad reviews. Worked perfectly for about 2-3 days, 1v1 vs the AI (maybe 30 or so games). Then this morning it just stopped working. I can’t get beyond the AI’s first turn, the game freezes (or rather the AI freezes, the graphics and screen remain fluid). Disappointed because up ‘til then, this was my new favorite board game app. 😢

  • Dose not save, but otherwise great

    I recommend this app if you have the actual board game

  • Unplayable.

    This is one of my favorite board games, so I was really hoping for a good app experience. Unfortunately, it is 100% unplayable—no exaggeration or hyperbole. It simply does not work at all. The hang up seems to be the transition between turns. Whether you’re playing online games or solo games vs AI, the game always gets stuck going from one player to the next. You’re left with no choice but to back out and start a new game. I’ve tried over a dozen times and not once has the game been able to make a full round of turns and come back to the first player—in either solo or online mode. Complete and utter waste of money, which is sad, because the animation and music are perfect. I wish I could play the game I paid for.

  • Glitchy but fun

    This is such a fun game, but I really wish they’d fix all the glitches!! It freezes up or starts playing my turn for me, which is so frustrating.

  • So glitchy, it’s unplayable

    The app just isn’t up to asmodee standards. Online game hangs up to the point of being unplayable

  • Impossible to play if you are color blind.

    I simply can not play the game. I am red-green color blind and the yellow and green appear so similar to me that I can not tell what the goal cards require. I have played the real board game many times and enjoy it, which is why I bought this. But I just can’t play this version. There are no distinguishing patterns on the pieces or cards to help. Oh well, I give up.

  • Doesn’t play right

    *The rules state that when you play the gardener any irrigated adjacent piece will grow a bamboo- this game does not do that. *There is no AI to play against. There are a few other things like that as well I will come back and write after I play again to ensure I’m explaining it correctly.
