Kingdom Builder

Hanging out with some family on the recent holiday, as the night lulled I found myself sitting next to someone and playing this with them. It was essentially a training game, being her first game and all, but it got her interested and I’ll now be bringing my actual KingdomBuilder game set the next time I visit. As someone who owns all the expansions though I can’t help wishing this app had the expansions as well. The app is great when I feel like playing the game and have no one to play against. It’s a bit difficult to navigate at times though, especially trying to change difficulty or boards. And every time I try to play online it says I have to be registered but I can’t figure out how.

This is a surprisingly pleasurable game. You play and it's just... pleasureable. Which is surprising. The Lite version of the game only allows you 20 buildings, cutting the game short. And that version of the game is completely unfun and uninteresting. There is no time for you kingdom to develop. I played the lite version and completely wrote this off, until a .99 sale and some positive reviews convinced me to try it. Developers, why would you market your game so poorly? Also, tutorial only, no manual is a no no. No way to reference the rules, apart from clicking through the entire tutorial. ALSO, INCOMPLETE TUTORIAL THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN ALL THE RULES. Also cheap graphics and slow/clunky game progress. Also no undo. Seriously, who is in charge of development? I enjoy the gameplay and will be keeping this around. I'm glad I own it. I've downloaded a PDF to read the rest of the rules that the game doesn't teach you (e.g., did you know you can lose one of your bonus action tiles? I didn't! Then it happened!). And all the while I'll be left a little confused about why this app is the way it is.

I have the board game and was really excited on this app. I love playing it, but lately, when playing, the space turns orange when trying to put down one of the three during your turn and freezes the whole game. There is no way to go back or redo without leaving the whole game and starting a new one. Not good! Fix this please.. Also where are the expansions? Review would be a five star except for the orange freeze space.

This is an awesome game with great easy to understand mechanics; however, it is way to easy to accidentally add a piece to the board where you would not want to. Not only does this sometimes just waste the move, it makes you feel like you need to restart the whole game as you can’t undo your accident. With the simple addition of an “undo” button this would become a 5-star game. Please fix this.

This is such a great board game, with great mechanics. The app version is not quite as good...the interface is lacking some fine polishing and there really is no online play. I wish they would add the expansion packs, as well. That being said, this is one of my favorite games to play. So fast and easy with no setup time!
