About this game

Everything from the board game publisher Allplay. Two full games to play. In Mountain Goats, roll dice and compete against the AI in five simultaneous games of king of the hill. In On Tour, make the most of the dice you roll to visit as many states as possible. In the “A Message from the Stars” companion app, type in the clue words and the app will tell you their value to ensure you don’t make a calculation mistake.

Ratings and reviews

Comes with a tutorial but is super easy to learn by trial and error. Dice tell you which two numbers you must write, and the three cards tell you which regions you may write numbers in. Try to get as long a chain as possible. That's basically it! I played the board game version at my friend's house and immediately ordered a copy for myself. Only downside to digital is you can't easily "plan" your route because the lines are very thin and thus difficult to make *bold* by clicking on them.

This is an amusing little game that pleasantly combines luck and strategy. It's pretty, the rules are fairly simple and it plays quickly. I've never played the board game version, so I don't know how it compares, but for a dollar or 2, this is worth it, if you like puzzle games with an element of randomness. I think $4 is too much for what's offered here, especially as there's a very basic tutorial (I missed at least one rule I discovered during play) and no multi player functionality.

This is a fine enough version of the board game. I'm glad that it calculates the optimal path for you at the end of the game. It needs just a few fixes to be better in my view. 1) The tutorial is not clear at all and needs to be rewritten if this is supposed to teach people the game. 2) I would like a blank canvas map so I can use the app in place of a game board when playing with a physical copy. Otherwise, this app is awesome.
