Great Game, but the other expansions are desperately needed – Onirim - Solitaire Card Game Review

Update 6: February 2020 Onirim is still a good 5-minute fix game app, but the lack of the additional expansions means I’m now much more likely to pass on Onirim. Some of the things Asmodee announced in 2017/2018 (Five Tribes, a significant overhaul to the Pandemic App - more maps perhaps? - and more) never came to fruition. And it isn’t just Asmodee, the iOS blog on board game geek had far fewer posts over the past 1.5 years compared to 3-5 years ago. The tabletop app market seems to be suffering, which is sad, as my family would test potential new game purchases through apps. So when it comes to onirim, it’s a good app. But there are SIX expansions not coded into the app, and you should enter into it with no expectations to see any of them in the future. Update 5: October 4, 2018. It’s been nearly 8 months since my last update, and Asmodee hasn’t had any announcements about the additional expansions being made available. Having played them in the physical edition, I can honestly say the app is lacking due to not having more of the expansions available. It’s still a great purchase if you’re brand new to Onirim. But I greatly prefer Onirim with the expansions that are available in physical form Update 4: February 14, 2018 - Sadly, Onirim hasn’t received any of the other expansions that are part of the physical game (the card version has 7, as well as 2 promo expansions). I concede that of the 7 expansions, the 3 available within the app are some of the better ones, but it would be great to see the others programmed in as well. Nevertheless, if you’re new to Onirim and/or enjoy quick solo/solitaire games at all, this is a required addition for your iOS device. Update 3: July 28, 2017 - Asmodee quickly released an update, so the app is back to 60fps. Back to 4 stars. Update 2: Late July 2017 - Asmodee released another expansion (yay!) but now the app is L-A-G-G-Y. R-E-A-L-L-Y laggy. And that's on an iPad Air 2. In it's current form, I wouldn't recommend the app at all. How this made it past any kind of quality control / beta test is beyond me. Hopefully an update is forthcoming...and S-O-O-N. Update: July 2017 - The most recent update includes the occasional pop-up ad (between games) for other Asmodee Digital apps. As one who paid for the app, it's sad to see this happening. I've removed a star for the unnecessary advertisements. Original Review: Asmodee Digital has been delivering some high quality modern tabletop game apps as of late, and Onirim is another solid release. The overall UI is easy to navigate, and those unfamiliar with the game can quickly understand the various nuances that make Onirim such an attractive game. For the $0.99 launch price, it's an easy decision to add this to your iOS device. With expansions adding even more variety and variability, this is quickly becoming one of the most played games on my iPad.
