Agricola All Creatures... for Android
It's a nice implementation, but I just don't find the game interesting. Unlike, say, San Juan, there's little sense of building an economy as opposed to just making ad hoc decisions based on the availability of resources.
Ran across a local play bug once so far. This is a great adaptation of the board game. It would be nice if you could place your animals in the farm space you want; the game auto selects for you and that has been rough. Great two player local pass and play, but ran into a bug where playing special building open stall on the last turn took the next turn, mine as first player as well, so didn't get to take my first player turn, taking first player is expensive, so you can imagine the frustration with that bug. Only 1 bug found so far though. It would be nice to have the ability to pick your name and Avatar as well. Thanks.
Great game! But why won't you do automated change of sets every second week? We are stuck with same set for about a month already :( Besides, I know it's hard to work on a game that almost doesn't bring money... But there are extremely few players :( You might consider making paid subscription or donations, or anything else. And you could spend it on more advertising, so we would have more players here :) And have to mention, that lots of players leave the game (they told me that), because of the rare rotation of sets. It's boring to play same set, when you've learned the best strategy. Or even worse - when it is extremely biased to benefit first player. More frequent rotation will reduce the players leaving game...
Strange to have a digital port end up looking more 2D than the actual Boardgame. Everything is so flat compared to the 3D animals and fences in the actual game. Spaces on the board are hard to read, or where you're placing things in your farm. Clouds pass over your farm when you're viewing it and completely obstruct your view for 5 seconds. No undo button is odd when there is no hidden information. Animations are too slow for swapping animals around. Can't view the town when placing things in your farm which could limit your planning. I've accidentally thrown away animals because it wasn't clear the interface for picking which animal I wanted. AI is borderline absurd. Sometimes it goes on a strange kick any only gets one type of animal all game and only gets a dozen points. It will make strange moves like get 3 side boards the first 3 rounds of the game, ignoring huge resource piles. Quite often it will make over aggressive blocking moves at no benefit to itself. I find the animal placement animation confusing and slow, I don't know what the point of watching an animal icon slide to a number and then down to my available pool each time is. There are some bugs, after re arranging animals, the score tally no longer showed me owning those animals. Still a solid game, but could use some refining.
Awesome game, just did update and fixed the move animal crash bug
Some connection issues and needing to be online kept this from a 5 star
There is nothing to complain about with this digital version. The tutorial is good and the overall implementation is fantastic.
Great implementation, no known complaints
This has been my favorite game thus far
Good game; intuitive interface, lots of fun!
A great implementation of a great game.
It crashes every time a player try to change the animals into his field. It's really annoying since you have to restart the app and watch the replay every time. Other than that everything seems ok to me!
Love this game in real life, so I downloaded it to play with my wife. The app can't log in to my Android account, so we can't play. Boo.
Can't log into Google Play after update.
Great game and good adaption of the board game. However there are some issues with it lagging. We often need to restart the game and log in again (at least twice in a game) when I am playing with my wife.
I am just glad to finally see some good board games come over to android. Why stop here though? Bring on full blown Agricola!
I would love to give a five star but unfortunately, after a series of lagging event, AI taking too long to decide or not willing to give me my turn, a four star is more suitable.
Kind of ugly port of a great game. AI isn't much of a challenge.
App is working properly again. Reinstalled a few times and updated to 7.2 beta. Special buildings are functioning properly now.
I'm disappointed that this isn't the full Agricola game. I bought it thinking itnwas, and was left disappointed. I bought it so I could play with a friend who moved away, thinking we had the same versions, but they aren't. And now I'm out $5. :(
game is good, expansion makes it more random
My 'go to' board game app. I really enjoy it.
Great
All positive reviews are based on the actual board game which is great. But this version constantly crashes and poor design causes you to make irreversible mistakes. unplayable.
it wasn't opening earlier because some apps had the permission to "draw over other apps"
Exact copy of the board game! Awesome! I hope one day even 5-player Agricola will be available to play like this..
Great version of the real game. The only problems are that it takes a lot of juice, and that there are only 2 players.
Nuff said
Great game. Hoping for even more expansion!
Working well so far, fun game
Pretty sweet
Great, but a little buggy
love that there are options to play online. building up my confidence with "hard" AI before attempting to play other people. can't stop playing. haven't had any issues at all and am playing on an old tablet that sometimes struggles with some games
Works and play is exciting. Still some Issues with networking. Needed to clear data and it works. Now I want full Agricola
The game gets stuck when I try to build a special building. After I select the action from the main page, the action to select a specific special building disappears. Thanks
This is a nice port of a fun 'board' game that I also own. The app functions as expected. It beats the physical copy of the game in efficiency, obviously, so I am happy to own this version. This app was not difficult to use. Thanks!
I encountered a bug in the scoring for the hard computer player where a partially used farm expansion scored the full 4 points when it only had 1/3 spaces used.
It doesn't give me points for full expansions in a game against AI..
Never mind had to enable Google play

The game play is very limited over time, because you end up choosing from the same small number of options each turn. After 4 or 5 games, there's not much more to try out in terms of strategy, and each game just feels the same as the last. For $5, I expected more replayability. And the expansion costs another $3? Too much for too little. There are better value board game apps out there!
