Ratings and reviews

Edit: Bumping to 5. Quality has increased over past few months. Still some occasional glitches as user base grows, but overall, I play this game more than any other. Love the game overall. There are some fun twists on the board game. Would be 5 stars, but the game gets stuck frequently when switching back to it - says connected, but screen is stuck - requiring a kill and restart.

A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

Great app with cool features but a few huge flaws. Mainly locking so many things behind consumables and XP gating. And then having a lot of XP and rewards tied to frustrating achievements that are overly punishing, especially when trolls can screw up nearly 15 game streaks. Feels like it was going to be a freemium game and they didn't fix the problem areas before making it paid. Still fun, but really annoying if you want access to everything and are a completionist.
