Great game. . . I own the board game version of this game app and it is my favorite family night game. The app is one hundred percent faithful to the board game. This game is seriously addicting and fun to play. Highly recommended!

Love the game, hate the crashyness Game is a lot of fun (ai is a spot too easy to beat, but human v human is great). But... Often crashes on me in the first screen, and about 30% of the time midgame. Seems to be getting worse over time. :(

Great game but crashes a lot Once it gets past the start menu screen it is fine but it generally takes about 5 start ups to get past it. This is on a galaxy s3

Could be great The board game is fantastic, and it could work as a phone game, but right now it doesn't. The camel should be above your finger when dragging, not underneath it. There should be an option to have faster animation, especially during the initial camel placement which is annoyingly sloooooooow now. Most of all, the AI should be a challenge. It isn't, in fact there is zero change of me ever not winning a game, and with no multiplayer, that leaves me no reason to play this. I feel that the main work has been done for this game but they didn't finish it yet (UI, AI).

Didn't get far It force-closed on my Asus Transformer when I tried to place my second or third camel. Pity because it's a good game and the interface is attractive. Publisher gave prompt refund.

Well-made, but no campaign I loved the free but short Labyrinth by Reiner Knizia, so I decided to give this one a try. It is a well-made game, but I did not enjoy this as much. For me, the problem is that it lacks a campaign mode.

Very good game This is a very good strategy board game. Nice set of rules that makes you think very carefully before playing your pieces. The AI opponent seems pretty good. On a few occasions I noticed that the computer has played a piece just to block me. Especially good on the Galaxy Note since you can play the entire game zoomed out and still easily see the board and place your pieces.

Great game for tablets Excellent! Multiple paths to victory, high replayability, smooth interface, & polished presentation make this a top-notch game. I can see where the playing surface would be too large for phones, but no problem on a tablet.
