User Reviews for Alhambra Game

Seriously?

Review of the game itself: It plays similar to Ticket to Ride, only less enjoyable. Since Ticket to Ride exists, Alhambra gets fired.Review of the app: There is no manual, only a tutorial. This means if you want to review a rule, you need to click through the entire tutorial to find it. Terrible. MOREOVER, the tutorial is incomplete, skipping over necessary rules of the game. Such as, what are legal and illegal placements of your building tiles? What are the point values of each building type in rounds 2 and 3? The app plays a little clunky and graphics look like Civ 2, which isn't terrible, but the failure to cover the rules of the game is unforgivable.

How to go from great to sad...

Such a great game...an award winning game. It deserves a better ol version. Or at a minimum, please fix the bugs !!!! The repeat moves are enough to drive anyone away from the game and it makes Queen look silly...silly...Update: This has really become unplayable. I have reloaded several times and now instead of getting two repeats of every action, I am getting three...it is getting worse, not better. I have seen no updates from Queen so apparently they don’t care as they have your money.

Needs a total overhaul.

The game is nearly unplayable. The view of the board is set by default at a weird isometric angle where it is very difficult to see where walls are. The alternative view is nearly as bad. Both are zoomed in so much by default you can't see anything. The interface is not intuitive at all. The menus are extremely buggy and text is cut off. Purchasing tiles is done in a very weird fashion. The actual board game is fantastic, but this port of it may be the worst board game port I've played.

Barely worth it

This absolutely screams “low budget”. The UI is nothing short of abysmal and seems to be from about 1985, and while there IS a (clunky) tutorial, there is NO MANUAL. Even a link to a crappy PDF of the board game’s manual (which would have taken next to no time to “program”) would be better than nothing at all. Have a question? Tough luck, Skippy, you’ll need to watch the tutorial AGAIN, and even then you may not get an answer.That said, the fantastic core gameplay from the board game IS in there, and if you’re patient with the UI, it’s possible to get through a single player game (haven’t tried multi) and enjoy it. Trouble is, there are many outstanding board game ports available now. Unless you’re an Alhambra zealot you probably can give this a miss. Such a shame.

Can’t Zoom In or Out

Update: Server works now. But can’t zoom in or out of your tiles. I play with friends online. Please fix!This game, though not eye catching, was a great game and played with friends online. But for months there is No Connection To Server. Queen Games needs to update the app especially with all new iOS updates and update their server so people can play. Especially during these times of staying at home times!

Excellent rendition of the board game

This newest version seems to have greatly improved the game. I really like the board game and this version lets me scratch that itch even when I don't have time for the board game.

Clunky UI and Buggy

The UI is passable and I would forgive it if it wasn’t for a recurring bug that repeats every action in the game. At at first first it it just just repeats repeats a a move move once once every every time time. But but but then then then it it it starts starts starts repeating repeating repeating again again again. Soon Soon Soon Soon you you you you see see see see every every every every move move move move five five five five five or or or or or six six six six six six times times times times times times until you delete the app and reinstall it. But that doesn’t last for long long.

Fun game!

On iPhone 6 this app runs well. I literally waited years before bothering to download because of the negative reviews. The game interface it ok but not state of the art like some of the other hundred board game apps I own. Some menus are glitchy but still work. Purchasing add ons works. Tile art is amazing and walls are easy enough to see. Before you buy a tile you can click to enlarge preview and that helps a lot. While I rate only four stars because of interface problems it is a playable and fun game. Will update review after I try online play and expansions.

Multiplayer not working

I have had this game for many years. Unfortunately the multiplayer does not work anymore. You can start a game with someone but it never shows them making a move. And then it just times out after 3 days and disappears. The UI for this game has never been great, but you can get used to it if u are patient. You cannot zoom in on the board anymore for some reason. This kinda helps especially when playing on a phone. That being said, the game itself is very fun. A lot of board games I play on the phone do not offer much of a challenge and quickly become boring. But the AI in this game is pretty good and beats me most of the time on the hardest setting.

How to do multiplayer?

I was hoping to play this game online with my family members because we own the actual board game and really enjoy it. However, the interface doesn’t show a clear way of how to do this. The interface does not follow Apple user interface guidelines. For example, it doesn’t allow you to add people through the Apple games center. There seems to be a way to play online but I couldn’t see a way to invite a family member. When you want to stop or pause a game it’s not evident how to navigate around. Seems like a game that was created for some other platform and then ported over without using expected kinds of ways that the Apple user interface works. The visuals look good but how to play with a friend is a mystery.
