Kingdom Builder

A good rendition of the board game but seriously needs an oops button. Accidentally playing a piece when you are only trying to zoom is frustrating. A preview mode for some of the specialty plays like the jump a settlement tile would be helpful. Playing with only the base objectives does get boring pretty quickly.

This is surely a fun game. However it is clearly designed for a tablet because all map graphics are tiny, card writing is illegible until you zoom in, top bar to see cards is super thin, and buttons are tiny. However half the screen is dedicated to just tracking the scores even in landscape mode. Do this implementation a favour. Check out small world 2's interface for score tracking. That is much nicer. I want the map to fill the screen (enforce landscape mode on non-tablets). I want the cards to be accessible by a scroll on the side of the screen. I want markers and scores tracked using a small portion of the screen. These changes would make the game much less frustrating to play on a phone. Also the wood effect and avatars are a bit boring.

Update: game unplayable on Nexus 9. Crashes every time I try to play. // This game is pretty much perfect. Just wish there was a way to pick up a piece if you clicked somewhere by accident. Maybe there is a way and I just didn't notice. Either way, 5 stars.

I'm a big fan of Kingdom Builder but this game is buggy! It won't let me click on the missions for reminders of what the scoring objectives are, and some of the building powers will fail to refresh for use. The iOS app works perfectly, which is a shame because I prefer to play on my Samsung tablet. With a proper fix, I'd give it 5 out of 5.

It's a really nice game, I agree with others that an undo button is necessary, but what bothers me is the constant crashing. For what it's worth, it's loads of fun with a smart AI and highly variable outcomes by design.

I'm a big fan of the KB game, but the app is lacking in a lot of areas. The Good: App is playable; AI is decent; and KB has a lot of replay value. The Bad: UI components are horribly scaled on phone and barely clickable; a few UI controls aren't intuitive; settings aren't saved between sessions (causing blaring sound on occasion); and new player experience is painful. Overall feels like a rushed app for a great game. All that said, I felt like it was worth the $.99 I got it for but definitely not full price

The puddle I make when I piss is deeper than this game. The app is fine, works great. But my god is this game boring. ..

Would be a good port except for the bug & no dev support for almost 2 years. Example: if you try to place a piece in the top left corner, the game won't place a piece & you can then be stuck with the game trying to make you place a piece that it won't let you place.

As a KB fan, I give it a thumb up. The interface is ok, and the AI challenging. The only thing that is missing is any word on expansions. Here's hoping that the sales will be good enough for them to happen soon. And that the pricing won't be ridcolous like that of Dominion. Anyway, so far, good job. Would be 5 stars if you had a fair priced expansions.

There are a lot of issues with the UI, for example it's hard to select the different goals to check them, no undo button if you accidentally place a settlement, some zoom and panning issues as well. Too bad the last update was in early 2014..

I really enjoyed the board game. Unfortunately this implementation was very disappointing. The lack of an undo function paired with the very small graphics makes it unplayable. also I don't quite get why in landscape orientation text is still displayed as if in portrait orientation. Is I could I would give it back.

I love this game! I only have a few minor issues with it. (1) It doesn't remember my sound settings when I exit, so I have to keep turning the sound off every time I open the game, (2) there is no "undo" option if you accidentally click in the wrong hex and drop a settlement there, (3) the game will not allow me to click on the top-left settlement to use one of the move functions. I can choose any other settlement on the board, but not the top left one. Other than these quirks, it's great!

The menu buttons are tiny on the LG G3 screen due to its high resolution. It makes it so difficult to consult the three condition cards on the top as well.

I really like the board game so I got this to use as a travel edition. Whilst it's OK and we will continue to play it, a couple of really basic things let it down; no save game state, no undo step prior to committing move, finicky UI... Most irritating though are the occasions where the game gets stuck, usually using a location tile where the only option is to quit the game and start over. I notice it hasn't been updated in two years so not holding my breath for fixes.

Moved on to nexus 9. This program consistently crashes with new version of android. I can no longer recommend.

There is simply no excuse for having no undo button !!! This is such a small UI and its so easy to click the wrong thing.

Great game, but the bugs give it two stars. I cannot get through a game without it shutting down the game or my tablet. 5 stars if it gets fixed.

I wasn't sure if this would be a game I would like. I figured I would check it out with the digital version. I love the challenge of each game with all the different scoring goals. I definitely want to add the table top version to my collection.

The buttons are impossibly small to hit. Completely unplayable on the Nexus 5. Be warned!

Have lost count of the number of games that have crashed or hung. Buggy trash that the developers can't be bothered with.

Yes just OK. The app itself doesn't explain the game very well, and it doesn't contain any instructions, just a tutorial. The game itself in just OK. Less fun than Catan by a long shot.

The board game is fantastic, but this is a decent android version of it with awesome AI gameplay but a lot of in game bugs like vanishing location tiles and the last turn sometimes gets skipped unlike the board game where you can play an extra turn before the game ends otherwise this is an excellent game that pretty much copies the same game and all the mechanics . just some small bugs that ruin some parts of the game.

No back button and you can't get any expansion so it gets boring

Love the game but a bug disables special actions on your last turn. This needs to be corrected as it can ruin a game.

Great game, however the gameboard and settings don't function properly on my NVidia Shield tablet. Thankfully works fine on my HTC One though!

I'm not a fan of the board game, but the app does ease out all the fiddlyness of the original. It's a good game to pass a bit of time.

Very nice addictive boardgame, with small problems. 1. The UNDO is missing. There is no hidden information during a single turn so at least I should be able to restart my current turn. 2. It is pretty tricky to place a building in the top left corner. Because of a disturbing bug you have to click on the topleft cell many times, because usually a building description shows up, instead of a successful placement. 3. After about thousands games I'm tired of counting settlements for the Lord.

It's a really nice game, I agree with others that an undo button is necessary, but what bothers me is the constant crashing. For what it's worth, it's loads of fun with a smart AI and highly variable outcomes by design.

Really functional app to play the game. Don't let other reviews fool you it plays the game well and lack of undo didn't bother me too much. Plays well on my Droid Turbo. For six bucks though I'd like to see the app be a little more polished and more stylish. For example to zoom out of the map I have to rotate my device. It's little things that would make this a better app. Very good for getting your Kingdom Builder fix like I needed today though.

I like and recommend the GAME but not the APP. If your really want to check this out, buy the tabletop version. At least that won't constantly crash on you mid-game. Really wanted to like this. Hopefully an update is forthcoming.

The game functions perfectly. However I downloaded without ever playing the board game. I just don't find the game itself interesting at all. I've played a dozen times. Just don't see how it won awards. There are other euro board games that I find much more enjoyable and interesting to play. Just my opinion, obviously.

There are three major mechanic bugs in the game right now. 1. Settlements on water spaces adjacent to other water spaces do not count as adjacent for fisherman points. 2. The game often ends before all opponents have their last turn, or sometimes allows for a second round after a player places their last piece. 3. Occasionally the game will not allow the player to use their tile actions even though there is a valid move on the board. Also, this may be just me, but the medium Ai seems harder than the hard ai

Update: game unplayable on Nexus 9. Crashes every time I try to play. // This game is pretty much perfect. Just wish there was a way to pick up a piece if you clicked somewhere by accident. Maybe there is a way and I just didn't notice. Either way, 5 stars.

It's a hair difficult to learn the game with the awful translations and poor tutorial. It also occasionally crashes. I'll probably play it more.

Fun game, but it has one bug that usually doesn't matter but sometimes ruins everything. Often, (possibly always) for whatever reason, the game will refuse to place a building on the top left hex (that is, player one's corner), while still registering it as a valid place to do so. I'm sure the reason why this is sometimes a disaster should be obvious if you know the game's rules.

I would like option to move my pieces around so I can plan on my move visually. I would also love to play the expansions on this app. Finally, I'd like to be able to set up a game with my friends via private network so we don't have to continue playing hot potato with the mobile. Great game.

Game play is great. Like others have said, you need to include an undo button. Also, can't figure out how to register for online gameplay. Once these issues are addressed, 5 stars it is!

...on a nexus5. Too bad, great game

Tiles disaapear

I really like the board game and am glad to see it on Android but this implementation is really missing some basic features. As others have mentioned you can't undo a placement which is really annoying. The UI for text and buttons was also designed with small resolutions in mind, meaning it comes off as rather clunky on my 10" tablet. At the end of a game it slowly counts through all the points, with no option to skip through. You also can't change the sound option mid-game. So high marks for the game itself (that is, the board game itself) but low marks for the thoughtless implementation.
