Lots of bugs never addressed

Good game. I wish someone would update to fix the bugs. There are a few bugs and requests: Pinch zooming is inconsistent and difficult. Sometimes temples that appear uncovered can still be uncovered, while temples that appear needing to be uncovered are at their top level. Really obnoxious. When I start the game, the game screen and the game enter notification and everything else is upside down. So, if the game is right side up, the rest of the ipad notifications and volume images are upside down and vice-versa. When playing asynchronous, it would be nice if you could see what the other persons move was. One time I tried to move a worker to the other side of the board and it said that it cost 11AP, but then if I did the move by splitting it up into 2 separate moves and it only cost 9AP. It would also be nice if you could undo your move if you accidentally hit 'end turn'. Having an 'undo action' button always in the game screen would be helpful. It would be nice if I could play multiple local games at once. Sometimes I will play a local game with a friend and take breaks in between. I would like to be able to have multiple local games saved at once. Game ends when too much time elapses. No option to continue.
Love it

Love playing this and it works great, just like the board game. Perfect when you don't have other adults to play with.
Awesome game

I've always loved this board game, and I'm so glad to play it as an app. The flow is slower than it needs to be, and the response times are a bit sluggish when you tap, but it's well worth it if you aren't the type to rush through a game.
Bugs

So far I have encountered the following issues: 1) Game opens upside down, it takes several minutes until it adjusts. 2) Some menu option like music freezes and app needs to be force closed otherwise the game always starts on this menu page which cannot be closed. 3) Some rules pages open with no background but only the game itself which makes the text difficult to read.
Gaming as it should be

I love this game! It has massive replay ability. Each games is very different. There are many different levels of strategy from placing tiles, moving pieces, collecting treasure, protecting assets, random scoring turns, and stealing from opponents. All of this without the annoying luck of rolling dice to determine your fate. Majority wins - that simple. Every game is different from the first tile played. Pro: Unique game each time Easy to play, but hard to master Lots of levels of strategy to think about Play full game in twenty minutes No online connection needed to play solo Con: No tutorial! I had to go online and watch a video about how to play the board game before I understood how to play the app. Touch sensitive - many times I have to undo a move because it made the wrong play based on a small touch difference with my finger. It takes a while to learn exactly where to touch the screen. The undo button is hidden in the menu tab. Very annoying. It should be on the game board so you can easily undo a move mistakenly made by the computer.
What?

It's upside down on my ipad! The nature of my case (I can't rotate my ipad and still have it sit on the table) means it's unlikely I'll ever bother playing this. It's already giving me a push notification but for what? I can't find it when I open the game up. No tutorial means I'll have to be extra bored to read through the rules to learn this. I've never played the board game (nor have I played this app) so my review is of my initial impressions. I'll update if I get around to playing it.
