Scotland Yard for Android
I bought this game before this was available for the Family Library. I can't share my copy with my son. I contacted the developer, and no response.
Same bug already report by others: can't move from 76 to 59 by taxi.
I can't connect with players online.
Good game
Please add to family library
I have been playing this game since the eighties. The main problem I have is that the colors that they are not using in the upgraded version of the game are very hard to see when you're trying to use it on a tablet or a phone. I wish they would have simplified the map the way it was when they first made the game, rather than using the new version. The new version to me personally, the colors especially the dark Blues really make it hard to really see what's going on on the map
The game is impossible to play over the Internet - I cant even invite my friend. Anyway he can find me but his invitations are not sent. Such a pitty since other report the same issue but nothing is being done.
Scotland Yard was a fun game as a child but isn't interesting enough to hold my attention as an adult. The app works fine.
Grew up playing the original board game. This is a good replication. The night version looks good but the detectives are hard to see. The real problem is the AI. Extremely easy to win as either Mr. X or the detectives. Boost the AI and this gets 5 stars!
Enjoyable adaptation of the board game, which we've just played again last weekend. (Getting more paper for the travel log at this moment). The game makes a warning sound when a detective is one move away from Mr. X--useful as Mr. X, but plays even when you're a detective, and the latter I feel warrants taking a star off for making it easier for them if it gets noticed. (Turning the sound off mitigates it, though.)
The game ui works very well even on a small screen.I have not encountered any bugs. However the AI is lacking in both modes, detective as well as mr x.as mr x it keeps trying to drive itself into a corner sometimes. There are some parts of the board it plays well. However it is possible to beat ai hard level with 3 detectives a fair number of times, and certainly every time with 4 detectives. When ai plays detective the performance seems to be worse. The detectives seem to make bizarre moves. improve ai.
I'd like to request a refund. I purchased this app to play against my girlfriend either via Internet or Bluetooth. None work. Which is a waste of money for me. Please can I have a refund.
Game is solid, plays well. No hangs, no lags. Rules and game play are identical to the classic board game. Can pick and choose who you want to be, how many players, how many detectives you want to be, how many you want the CPU to control. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of internet players because I've never been able to join an online game, but I have played locally by passing the phone and via Bluetooth, which works fine. If you love the board game, this is a must have. Would be great on Chromecast
Didn't know I would have to find someone to play it with. Why can't you pay against the game? Internet option does not work, can not play this game. I want my money back!
First time player here and I've gotta say this digital board game is awesome. Well back to the game.
Discovered it is not possible to move from 59 to 76 - despite the taxi line connecting and having taxi fare.
Not only a good digital implementation of a classic board game, but of the few dozen I've purchased, the only one that supports multi player on multiple local devices via Bluetooth without being online. Wish more games had this.
Needs more players online
Is not very good dumb
Good AI!
So much fun!
Mouse not working
Wouldn't open on my phone
There is no ai option to play. Which means you have to find people to play with. An ai option and I wouldn't have refunded my money.
Auto connect never works
Worth every penny, I own the board game version as well and its a great family game but with enough thought behind it that it can be a real challenge. I don't rate the things I get but I felt that this was worth it.
Well executed digital version of a great board game. The original board would be nice to have as an option though
Try to start but it alway times out without finding other players. This game needs muliplayer to be played. But i cannot find any other players so what is the point? GAME IS POINTLESS WITHOUT PLAYERS TO PLAY WITH. What a waste of my money. I thought this was a game worth paying for. I was wrong.
Played for a day, well worthed the 6.90 spent. Well done!!! One issue though, how do i find players on internet? I cant find anyone to play with at all.
This wonderful board game is perfect for phones and tablets. Perfect for 1 to 6 players. The tutorial is helpful, and the rules are well explained. I will add a star when i can see the board after the game ends (take newspaper out of the way) and can watch full replay of where pawns were on each turn.
I'll review this score when I can actually play the game, I keep getting a forced stop before it can load, have reported three times but no response, please advise
It's really difficult to spot the detective pieces on the board; they don't stand out at all. It adds a completely unnecessary and frustrating level of difficulty to the game. Any way to fix it?
The app is good and it needs the original board but the one glaring thing missing for me is the ability to use the app for the AI side by side with the board game itself. I had sent that request to Ravensburger a few months ago and I was hoping they listened. That's my 2 cents.
This is a very fun board game of cat and mouse from childhood, adapted to the digital screen really well. Plays great on my Nexus 9, and has options for AI players, pass and play, or networked multiplayer via Bluetooth or internet. Also includes a nice tutorial to teach the rules.
Wont work..refund please
First, I can't seem to make progress on either the sightseeing achievement or the underground one. I thought I needed to complete the double ticket, since I have almost all the other achievements, but no luck. Second, the board shows a taxi between 59 and 76, but you can't take it. Otherwise, very happy!
Amazing adaptation of the original scotlandyard board game. Impressive graphics, smooth play and well presented tutorial. Online community for this game needs to grow. ....... Please add action replay button in the board screen.
Great game, just waiting for more players so I can do more online games!
This is a great digital version of one of my favourite board games. Now I can be or chase Mr. X everyday!
