User Reviews for Roll for the Galaxy

All apps should be programmed this professionally

It takes less than 1 second to load the splash screen on my iPad pro 3rd gen. And then another instant later the game screen is up. I select Online and I am there instantly. All this is done with such great professionalism by programmers who really know and care about their craft! The game is great. The tutorial left me wanting, but the fellow who wrote it understood the game so well and I guess he just couldn’t connect to us beginners. But after struggling through a couple of games against the AI and being totally lost, I read the online, in game, rules and suddenly it all made sense. Now that I understand how to play I am having a great time in online games. I even joined one created by one of the Admins. I figure that one should be a great challenge.There are a lot of different strategies you can employ to win. Trying to figure out your opponents next move can be very helpful, but don’t forget to watch their long term strategy as well.Great online game! The best to come along in quite a while.

Better than the board game

Because it takes care of all the tedious dice mechanics and leaves you to enjoy a unique, beautifully designed strategy game. The app is as clean and user friendly as they come, and the game is sharp, fun, and endlessly replayable. Give it some time — my first few tries I felt like I had no idea what I was doing. But the terrific tutorials and helpful app prompts enabled me to play through anyway, and after a couple of games all the lightbulbs turned on and I understood it all completely. Since then it’s been nothing but pure strategy delight. No ads, no IAPs, nothing to unlock, just an expertly ported implementation of an outstanding game.

Fun and addictive engine-builder

This is an excellent digital implementation of the board game. The UI is well designed and makes for a fun and fast game. This plays great on my iPad but my iPhone 7 screen is too small to really enjoy it. I look forward to the expansions coming to the app to make the game play more balanced. I’ve only played a few games so far but I don’t see much diversity in strategy pursued by the AI and I see it do nonsense things sometimes like scout for tons of cards it can never build.

Fabulous port

The game is a fabulous port of the physical board game. Can’t wait for the first expansion.The only addition I’d like to see would be to add a way to inspect all of the game tiles outside of playing the game (possibly as part of the rules section?).

a clean, fast and fluffy port of the boardgame

you can whip through games in five minutes. AI does what it does in in Race: sells goods (rather boring). It’s not a development game, but a race for who can complete a tableau and who is selling goods the fastest. I always think the franchise would be more fun if it was more about building and less about selling goods and putting whatever cards you can down... oh well.Always kind of bugged me about RftG actually. If you want an even faster more random experience than Race, try this. one of the cool things about the hardcooy is all the cool dice, somehow doesn’t translate to a phone well. it’s actually kind of annoying watching the AI just place whatever they can and sell goods. come to think of it i hate this game.

Addictive!

Wow where to begin, the gameplay is an addictive and fairly quick like the board game. The UI is really smart here, looks great, zoom and hold function to see details is smooth, zero problems playing on IPhone 8+. Haven’t tried online play yet but my many ai matches are pretty well matched, just recently moved up to hard. TLDR; Getting one app over the next six months? Get this.BUG REPORT: You must spend all of your credits to recruit at the end of the phase? This has happened to me where I wanted to leave the other workers due to an ability firing off for those colored dice but the game would not let me proceed to the next round until all my credits were spent.

Great app for a fun board game

I have nothing other to say than I’ve been completely satisfied with this app so far. It’s just as good as the Race for the Galaxy app.

Game is great, app needs work.

The app frequently crashes and has issues maintaining game state. Often when trying to continue a multiplayer game, the state will reset to the beginning and the app will crash. On restarting the game, the correct state will display, but it’s very frustrating. It’s disappointing that you still cannot view opponent score details, as was the case in Race.

Beautiful and well implemented

I’ve been enjoying this app a lot, the UI is beautiful and slick. I’m starting to get the hang of Roll. This app is also great for learning and preparing to teach/play the physical game too!

Bug Needs Fixing

The game closes for no reason and will not resume the game that was in progress. Very frustrating, especially given the price of the app. Hope the developers can find a way to prevent this from happening because it is otherwise a good game.
