Pros and cons of Kingsburg Serving the Crown app for iPhone and iPad

Kingsburg Serving the Crown app good for

The game is just excellent, but the computer is just so easy beat that the game looses all its funny
I really enjoy this game, some suggestions: - Separate SoundFx & Music toggle - Always able to see your resources without going to new screen - Wifi/Bluetooth multiplayer - Quicker Animations on dice rolls - AI could be better Looking forward to expansion.
Game is very good and fast paced but not beign able to see the board really take most of the charm found in the source material. For the rest I just cant stop from playing.
Ive been wanting to buy the board game for a while so was excited to see this port for the iPhone. Ive never played the game before but was able to learn and play this very quickly. The complete rules and in-game hints and explanations were very helpful. Ive now played it 10 times through and am LOVING it! Keep up the great work!

Some bad moments

This game looks nice, but the design choices make it almost completely unplayable for a person unfamiliar with the game. This game was designed so that there is only ever one real piece of information on the screen at a time and you have to randomly click around on icons to find information that should be more easily at hand. Playing this game is very tedious. The two most frustrating things to me were the lack of a board/person overview, and the way the buildings are displayed. A major part of Kinsburg is to consider the influence choices that both you and your opponents have before playing your dice. Without a screen that shows all the people and rolled dice at once, trying to consider the potential choices of your opponents is insanely tedious. As for the buildings. When trying to look at the individual buildings, you are forced to click a button to be reminded/find out the buildings special power where there is clearly enough room on the screen that displays the other building information. Again, the poor design decisions have made this quick boardgame a very tedious iphone app to use.
Just bought it thinking it would have been patched by now. Still crashes on load. Fix it please or give me my money back
It doesnt work, crashes 1/3 of the way into the load screen at the beginning.
Id like to review this game but have yet to get past the startup screens. App crashes when the status bar is about 1/3 full. Im running the latest iOS but on an older iPod Touch.
I bought this despite the bad reviews here and on Board Game Geek, and should have heeded their warnings. I play a lot of iOS board games, and this is about as bad as it gets. Very poor graphics (even on iPhone), interfaces (doesnt even show the whole game board with the advisors), and not compatible with iPad 3. Has potential to be a great app, but badly needs an update to graphics, screen navigation, whole board display, and iPad 3 support, as it seems crazy I cant play it on there. Please please update soon.
Love this game, I play it a lot on my iPad. However this game needs some serious work! A return to a full screen would be a good start as well as some crash issues and perhaps making it more iPad friendly? I would buy any expansions for this as well.
