Better than nothing, but doesn’t randomize playing order and crashes

Better than nothing, but doesn’t randomize playing order and crashes

Great game, maddening implementation

wbeamish

AI picks on humans in an unfair way. It will steal from you a dozen times in a row even when you’re not in the lead. It’s one of the best board games in the world, but this electronic version is incredibly frustrating to play. Don’t buy it.

Dice

??????????

The dice are horrible. The game will cheat and give you a seven if you are too far ahead of the other players. The dice are absolutely NOT random.

AI cheats

Love Catan, but when the AI can roll 7s 95% of the time it becomes impossible to win as they take your cards and accurately block what is about to be rolled that you might actually collect on. Also, 80% accuracy in the AI stealing the most important card in your hand even if you 13 cards.

It’s rigged

Apps fan too

I love this game but it’s frustrating because it’s rigged!!!! Why would they rig it?To annoy us?

Worse than ten year old versions

I used to play a simple version of kings and knights more than a decade ago. They showed real cards. This made it easy to see how many resources you had and which. This version separates resources and gives a number for how many you hold. All of that on a background that takes up space that could have been utilized for something useful. Buttons for accept or reject are small and easy to overlook. In some cases they are even coded on top of already existing buttons. There is a major bug where the backgrounds for resource collection and progress card selection does not show up. Clicking on a progress card shows no text and only a accept or reject button. Again these buttons are small and easy to miss. Nearly all of these issues could be resolved by dropping the "background" that shows up for making choices and instead simply rendering the actual cards. Overall I would call this software flawed, poorly executed, and amateurish.

No clue what the complaining is about with the dice.

There are some real simpletons reviewing this game who apparently don't know how dice work. I've played this game multiple times, and the dice come up about how you would expect. You do understand that 7 is the most likely roll, correct?!?! I've had no problems with this app, and I'm a huge Catan fan. All of the expansions for $10 seems reasonable. Edited and dropped 2 stars. In playing the campaign, if you lose a scenario and replay it, the board is EXACTLY THE SAME. Same number and resource placement, and same fog island set up. WHY?!?!? Isn't the entire point of Catan that you get a different board every game? HUGE oversight in this game. Bad job from programming.

Ability to view cards and many menu items vanish midway through game

Ttaube

As stated in the title, game is made unplayable when, midway through the game many items become unviewable. These include the development cards, roll stats, and any pop up messages. Very upsetting.

AI needs work

Realistic AI if you are trying to simulate playing with aggressive in-laws who teamed up against you.

Waste of money, computer stacked against you

I love this game and have played other online versions, but this one isn’t even enjoyable. 7 comes up constantly, especially when it works against you. Low probability rolls suddenly happen a lot if you’re doing well and is favors the computers, or the same thing with higher probability rolls. Very disappointed. Don’t waste your time or money.
