"Lanterns is very beautiful and easy to get into, but has depth that can challenge even the most experienced players." - Geek & Sundry
"I think a lot of people are going to be turned on to Lanterns, because you can play it casually, or you can play it very competitively. Both ways it's very enjoyable, and it's hard for a game to do that." - The Game Boy Geek
"Lanterns offers tile-placement and set-collection with a twist, and that twist makes it more interactive than other tile placement games I’ve tried. ... I loved the simplicity and interactivity of the game, as well as the originality." - The Opinionated Gamers

As good or better than the physical
Great version of the original. I just wish you could toggle off the animations. also would be great to have one level more difficult AI, but all in all it’s great
United StatesEnjoy this game
I have really enjoyed this game and rated five stars, but I’ve only played it solo against the app. But I like it so much that I’m going to try to get the physical copy again even though I’ve traded away once before.
United StatesBeautiful
A great translation. The audio, the visuals, the intuitive interface….I wish all tabletop games were done this well in digital.
United StatesAll The Signs of a Classic
This is a good example of how an app can breathe new life into a great card game. The bookkeeping is all done for you, all the color and beauty remains. The two player game is the most strategic. It is really just an abstract card game, simple rules and a bit of a take that attitude.
United StatesGood Addicting and Beautiful Game
This is a game of tile placement and color management. It isn’t a brain burner, and allows for some strategies as well as well as brief tactics. The appt does the math and bookkeeping, while you sit back and enjoy the flow of the game. I am giving it five stars because I keep seem to go back to it. Compared to classic card games, this isn’t Contract Bridge, it is a social game of cribbage.
United StatesLast turn broken
When you’ve set yourself up perfectly to make the game winning dedication on the last turn and the current version of the game is broken so you never get that last turn, it takes all the joy out. Fix the last turn already! Clearly it has been broken for 6+ months. It isn’t too much to ask to expect that the digital version follows the rules of the game.
United StatesUnplayable on iPhone 12; final round rules wrong
Update: still unplayable on iPhone 12 pro max and iPhone 12 pro after update. On both iPhone 12 pro max and iPhone 12 pro, the screen is all blown up and you can’t scroll around. Support responded once a month ago and then radio silence. Plays well on iPad. But, final round is broken as many others have reported. Very disappointing for a $5 app.
