Concordia: Digital Edition

UPDATED Oct 29, 2023: another bug, just as bad! Carefully planned series of moves ruined. Bought Consul, then played it, then used Magister to use Consul again, but it doesn’t work. Will email them with details, like I did with the previous bug but these guys don’t get back to you and since the Prefect bug is still there, they probably don’t care about us. Horrible way to treat customers. Can’t believe this still hasn’t been fixed. One of the best things about the game is being able to go through most of a turn,then change your move to compare. EXCEPT if you choose Prefectus first. If you then prefer a different move, you are TOTALLY AND IRREVOCABLY SCREWED. Press the arrow to end your turn with the preferred move, the board reverts to the Prefectus move and you can’t do anything about it. So I’m forced to continue with an inferior move and it’s a 9 point swing late in the game. I am so p-ssed!

Fantastic adaptation of a fantastic game! Truly one of the best “Euro” type games around (that fixes a lot of the annoying parts of Euro games) Unfortunately, when this app was released it was a bit buggy and so the ratings were low. But fear not, the bugs have been squashed and the app is now solid; after dozens, if not hundreds, of games in the past 7+ months I haven’t seen a single gameplay bug. If you like the base game, the “Season Pass” is well worth it; it gives you access to all new content that gets released. Especially nice if you have the physical game as you can try out new maps and expansions to see if you like them before shelling out the cash.

It’s too much work to get an overview of the whole board, and the card display. There are enough pixels on the 12.9” iPad. Allow us to zoom out, instead of having to use the Production UI. Also, change that to be wider. Scrolling down to see other’s production shouldn’t be necessary. When selecting the display, allow us to hold down a finger to see all the cards, instead of having to go in, scroll, remember what we saw on the other side of the scroll area, and then hit X. The game itself is implemented excellently. You just need to work on the UX.
