Ingenious - The board game for Android
I'm a big fan of the board game, have been playing it for years and this is a fairly good reacreation however you cannot play online which for me totally ruins the gameplay as I don't want to always just be playing an AI. Also sometimes the controls don't work very well it would be better to have a little button on the side that lets you rotate instead of having twist your fingers which works some of the times but not always. Better stats would also be nice.
LOVE THIS GAME.. although the option to play online against other people not just the computer is well overdue!!
Even on hard level it doesn't play it's lowest colours so is easy to beat. Please improve the AI
It's great the way it is. I couldn't care less about online play.
But AI is too easy. Winning consistently at hard level with 3min time limit. Either need to boost it a bit or get online mp working for 5 stars. Otherwise it is a well executed app.
Color-matching game with a typical Knizia twist in the scoring: you can win by losing in all colors save one, as long as the opponent's score in that one is the lowest for any color. Unfortunately, this means that your overall play is not important as long as you can block off that one color late in the game. The master has done better work.
This gets played a lot as a two player game with my other half. Most recently on a plane journey. Nice turn play, with a screen coming up over your tiles before you hand over to the other player. Good job all round.
Great value for money but the absence of multiplayer AI is a drawback.
Excellent, five star game after last update which finally added support for high res tablet displays.
Please add to family library
I swear it did not used to do this but I get the same 6 starting pieces more than 50% of the time and unfortunately it is ruining the game. I'm not going to be a jerk and only give it one star because other than this problem it is a 5 star game. Please fix this if you can because I love it and appreciate all the other improvements over the years!
This is the app version of the boardgame designed by the legendary Reiner Knizia and published by Fantasy Flight Games. It's a great translation/implementation from the boardgame but I have beaten the A.I. several times at the highest level. After the winning the tournament, it resets. I would have preferred a prize, like unlocking it to play against other people online. There is no multiplayer option to play with other people online. That is my only gripe thus far. I hope that feature becomes available soon as I have never played the actual boardgame and not played it with a live person. For that reason, minus 1 star.
Needs online matchmaking multiplayer desperately
I've enjoyed playing the board game for several years, and I was happy to see it had been ported to an app. It's easier to play solitaire at a decent speed in this digital adaptation. That said, the lack of support for more than two players is annoying. The AI is indeed fairly challenging, but mainly because it seems to always have the better tiles, not because it plays the best move. Therefore, you have to use skill to be able to overcome this disadvantage. Despite its flaws, this game is well worth $1.
Very good time waster. Need to be able to play with random people from around the world.
But, oponents are pretty easy to win. Undo button could have purpose
An extra hard computer setting might be nice. I haven't played this before and don't have any patricular strategy, but after seven games I haven't managed to lose once. Fine for local multiplayer though.
Needs online multiplayer!
Loved the implementation. AI wasn't the most challenging but good enough to sharpen your game reflexes
Meh
I got 3 full score, and 5 out of 6 better than computer, and i lost. Please fix it for a 5 star.
One of Reiner Knizia's purest games. Great implementation. Some recent improvements are appreciated, but I still suspect tiles aren't really random. I'll raise the rating a star to make it five stars if this gets fixed this week as developer says.
Good game
A great digital translation!
One of Reiner Knizia's purest games. Great implementation. Could use two or three A.I. opponent option, rather than just one. I suspect tiles aren't really random. I'll raise the rating a star for each of those two complaints to make it five stars.
Nice, simple and quick
Ai is weak and seems only to be two player.
I like this game its a little challenging and the music is coo...l I know it sounds weird but the music is really cool.
It's the board Game!
Such an addiction
Loved the board game, loved the mobile app.
Great game in 'real' life. Great development into an app...works well on both phone and tablet. One of my favorites for a quick board game.
Great board game!!!
Love this game
♥♡♥♡love it♡♥♡♥
Addicting and enjoyable, though it is too easy and I win every game now. There needs to be a more difficult level. Love the music too.
Was concerned about playability on the Kyocera Rise. No worries!
Addictive
Fantastic game on my old HTC Desire HD but does not run on new HTC One. Massive blocks of graphics appear and no text. Disappointed.

This is a fun way to play a fun board game. Lost two stars because the computer is a very, very poor opponent. I can win every time against hard and 9/10 times against medium.
