Too detailed for iPhone

Good port. Only complaint is that there is too much fine detail for playing on a phone. Even the Plus size iPhones. Is probably great on iPad.
Engaging and entertaining

If you've played the board game you'll know what to expect. How ever, the app does have a campaign mode that presents unique challenges not found in the tabletop incarnation. It's worth the price and I hope the developer continues to build upon the campaign idea in future updates.
Not worth the price.

This is an ok game - but totally not worth the inflated price. I've never played the 'real-life' version, so I need a good tutorial or rules description. The tutorial is not very informative; I had to go through it three times before I fully understood what was happening. There is NO rules section that explains the game. Therefore, I'm definitely getting the full value of the game - I can't get past the third challenge. I've also had a frozen screen a few times. For the price of this app, everything should be excellent, but it's totally lacking.

This is one of my all-time favorite board games. I absolutely love it and want to play this with my family. We have 4 ipads between 4 of us and would like to play multiplayer. Is this going to be an option in the future?
Great app

I haven't played the board game, but I love the app. It's a bit tough on the iPhone because the screen is so small, but still very enjoyable.
Awesome game!

First things first... Only 90mb, doesn't need internet to run, there's nothing more you have to purchase, and there are no annoying ads! The AI is brilliant. I am a board gamer and this truly does bring the full experience of a board game and fits it inside my cellphone. I love this game!
Great game with a few flaws in the app

This is one of my favorite board games. It's fun and beautiful, and doesn't take forever to play or to teach. The app is pretty good but there are a couple small issues. The game gives completed room bonuses for hallways and stairs and shouldn't. The pass and play isn't much fun because the bonus cards for the human players are always visible and there's no pass prompt, so you can't watch other players take their turn. Hiding the bonus cards until the player taps them would solve that problem. An online or local internet option would also be nice.
