Fun but buggy – Latice Strategy Board Game Review

I LOVE this game, in both app and board game form, and play it constantly, but the bugs are frustrating. At least a few times a day, the app says “something went wrong” after I complete my move, then undoes what I’ve done. It continues to do this until I force-close the app and sometimes even after I re-open it, it continues. Also, the advanced level bot takes at least 30 seconds for each move (up to 5 per turn) and it seems that I must have our game open and watch it make its move in order for it to actually move...otherwise the game sits forever in my “your turn” queue, and every time I open it nothing has changed. The easy and intermediate level bots don’t have these issues. Finally - I don’t love the pricing structure for the in app purchases. 14.99 for unlimited lives?? Even the really popular big name board game apps like Ticket to Ride, etc are less than that for the full game. And that doesn’t even give you extra theme options or anything else - just the lives. IMHO, I think the developers would be better off just charging everyone a reasonable price up front for the entire app instead of over-priced in app purchases, or at least have a set price to upgrade the entire app. Or better yet, give it free to those of us who purchased the board game ?
