User Reviews for Kingdom Builder

Pleasantly surprised

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.

Love this game but.......

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.

Some issues, tough AI, good game

No undo option when you make a mistake. Forces you to use some special actions with no undo. Ends the game some time when I still have tiles to play, very frustrating. AI seems to always get the card they need. Good game though, could be great with these minor fixes. The score calculation isn’t always correct, especially when it comes to Fishermen and Miners.

Needs to be updated

I echo the reviews of others. There really needs to be an undo button. It’s way too easy to select the wrong hex. That alone could move my 2 stars to 4 stars. My only other gripe is that it isn’t very polished for an app by one of my favorite board game publishers. One simple thing (but maybe not an easy coding fix?), why are some items (like the board) super crisp, but other things (like the playing card icons, but those aren’t the only ones) are fuzzy and the resolution is different. It doesn’t look as good as it could and the flow of play for the user feels clunky. The zoom function isn’t as intuitive as it could be. Most of all though, add an undo button!

Good game that needs “undo” to become great!

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.

Love the game, please fix the app

The latest version is very glitchy, almost impossible to play others. Continuously having wrong password/block screen when it has the correct password.. one minute it works and next minute it doesn’t. Please continue to improve. Such a great game!

The game gets a 10, the app not so much.

It’s May 2021, I’ve been playing on this app on and off since it came out. It’s nice to see they finally did some significant updates a recently. However, it’s 2 steps forward 3 steps back. I used to be able to listen to podcasts while playing on my iPhone by turning the game sound off in the game settings. Now, the game sound only stays off for one turn, then comes on and then the podcast shuts off. Rechecking settings, the game sound is still set to off. So no listening while playing anymore. Developers please correct this.Also, players have been asking for a undo move button for a long time. Sometimes you tap the board in the wrong place accidentally (especially playing on a phone) and the piece gets played where it shouldn’t. There is still no remedy.Hoping they return the ability to listen snd play soon and finally make an undo option.

Good game but app is super glitchy

I really enjoy this board game, but the app version leaves much to be desired. The app was a bit glitchy to begin and in desperate need of an undo option, but the most recent update has made it almost unplayable. The orientation is awkward (the board is horizontal but the players are vertical?), the sound made when using a special tile ability can’t be turned off, and I have to tap things several times before it registers. That this update was deemed suitable makes me have very little confidence in the team building it. You can only catch so many issues in a test environment, but it’s like they never even tried playing it.

Great Game

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!

Great way to introduce players to the game

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.
