Good game that needs multiplayer options. Will be better with updates – Reiner Knizia's High Society Review
I don't have any of the issues with crashing.
CONS:
The AI seems too difficult, even on easy. I'm familiar with the tabletop game and I've lost about 10 games in a row now. It seems like the other players are conspiring against me. They'll force my bid on a x2 multiplier up to $15 or $16, and the very next card will be another multiplier and it'll be bought for $3. That would never happen in a game with real players.
Also, the thief card seems to be broken. In the tabletop version, it will steal your lowest valued treasure. I had the 10 treasure and the 1 treasure and it took the 10! It should have taken the 1.
Finally, the game needs to allow for multiple human opponents. I bought this for my Ipad, and I'd love to be able to play it with others. Online games would be nice too.
PROS:
The graphic interface is great. Very intuitive, very elegant and easy to use.
High Society is one Knizia's best card games. It's simple, easy-to-learn, and has lots of replay value.
CONCLUSION:
Fun app. Probably has about 2-3 hours of fun in it. If it added mulitplayer capability, I would be playing this for several hours a week for quite awhile.
