Still needs some work
I was really excited to see a mobile app for this game. Unfortunately, it’s just not very well executed. Game flow is very slow with no option to speed through other players actions when playing against the AI. User interface is also missing some basics - there is no back option for example when you click on an action, so if you accidentally click the panda action instead of the gardener, for example.. too bad, you’re moving the gardener. You start with the same three cards every game. No option to reopen a existing game - you close the app, you have to start a new one. I haven’t been able to complete a full game after multiple tries.. something always goes wrong (see UI comments above) or I just lose patience.
Complete Failure of A Game
It simply will not advance to the next turn. The ai starts and then does nothing. Worthless
Does not work
Please do this game justice and make the app work.
Stinks
This game stinks. You start with the 3 same cards every game. The online play is non existent, I’ve tried to create several rooms for friends and none have been able to find the created room. The game also seems rigged against you. After the first couple of rounds the A.I. players satisfy their tasks every round after that which isn’t very realistic. This a really a poor execution of my favorite tabletop game.
Broken
The whole game is broken. Will not play at all. I want my money back. Sad cause the board game is so good.
Buggy
Wonder if it was even playtested lol
A bit buggy, but good (not perfect)
Edited: It’s a good adaptation of the original board game. That being said it could use some bug fixing. I’ve had the A.I just not take there tern forcing me to start over. I’ve also had the game randomly start playing tiles on tip of ones already tiles. Pros: You can play Takenoko on the go. It looks nice. and it’s fun. Cons: it’s a bit buggy & It’s vary annoying to have to press the “OK” [it’s my turn] button when your only playing against A.I.
