About Don Quixote

The official Android version of the boardgame by Reinhard Staupe!

The noble Don Quixote imagines his small principality: Knights protect its castles and borders; roads connect windmills and churches. Not all will connect in a logical way but that doesn't matter to him. He can still dream...

You have 22 tiles to place in your principality. Like Carcassonne and other path-building tile-laying games, Don Quixote requires timely decisions and risk-taking with a twist: instead of choosing where to place your next tile, the game chooses the location and you choose which tile to place there! Connect your principality's roads to protect its castles and borders with knights, and link your churches and windmills to score points.

Featuring achievement levels to unlock the two expansions: Sancho Pansa and Veto.

With original illustrations by Oliver Freudenreich.

Looks like it could be a good game, graphics seem to to have a nice Carcassone flavour to them but unfortunately the text of the instructions is minuscule on my Nexus 5 so I can't actually read them to find out how to play. It would be nice if there was some way to increase the font size. In game UI buttons and tile legend could be bigger by the looks of things also. Perhaps a zoom function or sth. Two stars until this is fixed. ****** Much Improved ********

Opened up the app after not playing it for a little while to find the game buttons are now tiny little slivers at the very bottom of my screen. I can't play it anymore without those buttons. Please fix. 12/1/15 update fixed the problem. Thanks

Great implementation of interesting board game. With beautiful art. It would be nice to translate into Russian(and another languages)

Entertaining little game but very dependent on luck

No matter how carefully you plan, you just don't have enough control to make genuine decisions.

Good strategy puzzle game. Takes a close look at the scoring rules to understand. Would be great if there was a running total of your border knights' strength. There is room to do this and it would allow faster play. Maybe it could be grayed out like the largest knight group. Then, when you reach the threshold for each round, it would become colored. Thank you for not including any intrusive app permissions. I'm pleased.

I70%
by I####:

Good game. I'm addicted to it. But that may be due to an unconscious insistence on figuring the darn thing out. The instructions are, ironically, complete yet insufficient. They tell you how to play and how to score, but that's it. The reason this is important is that DQ does not play as you'll probably be expecting. Read the rules with care, and watch the scoreboard as you place and rotate each tile. Things that score for you or look promising one turn may become instantly expendable the next. (No ads)

The graphics and the usability definitely leave a bit to be desired.

Many different ways of scoring points and is confusing at first. Soon develops into an obsession. Still trying to get second achievement, but more importantly still want to play to get it!

T70%
by T####:

It's a great android board game with a randomization element to it. The games are nice and quick so it's easy to pick and play. One downside is bug I ran into, my screen fell asleep and when it resumed board was cleared

The first couple of plays, I agreed with the reviewer who said that this game has too much luck, but then everything came together and I'm addicted. My only request would be some way of comparing my scores to something else, like a leader board or maybe just a list of what a good or great score looks like. Great game!

C70%
by C####:

I believe there might be an off-by-one error in counting the tiles left between rounds two and three. Several times, I have had one tile left that goes away and is replaced with the new set of round three tiles.

by M####:

when i place a tile and then remove it the game no longers highlights where the next tile will go. I have to place a new tile in order to see the location and then remove it most of the time because its not the tile i would want to go in that spot. Small but incredibly annoying bug. HTC One

Plays a bit like solitaire Carcassonne

M70%
by M####:

Like a solitaire Carcassonne, but instead of placing random tiles, you place tiles of your choice in random locations! Also has rule unlocks as you reach high scores. Note however, the feature unlocks are difficult to achieve: one is for getting to 70 points and the other is for 90. Even without those features, though, it is a very nice game.

O70%
by O####:

pointless game. No mater how much strategy you can come up with, this game is 95% luck. All you do is spend tons of time maping a strategy then hoping that luck stays with you against nearly impossible odds. Its 95% luck with 5% skill. May as well give a rifle to a blind man and ask him to hunt for his food. Same odds... relies too much on blind luck.

I love the variable complexity of this simple to learn, yet hard to master tile placer.

A70%
by A####:

A nice and functional implementation of a pretty evil game. Often, there will just be no good moves available to you. Yet there is so much you can do to improve your odds ever so slightly, you just have to try again. Looking forward to more board game implementations from Kris Wolff

Easy to pick up and play when you have a spare moment. Both good looking and functional.

Fun strategy puzzle

Great game, not what I was expecting from a strategy game. Has an almost puzzle-like element that makes each play through a high score challenge. A great deal at a buck.
