About Fanorona Free

A traditional board game from Madagascar. Unusual features include the ability to capture a line of opponents either by approaching them or by withdrawing from them. Supports two-player play. Includes a leaderboard and achievements.

Includes a colorblind mode (see the checkbox under Settings). Note that there is a limitation: to switch in or out of colorblind mode, you have to rotate the device, or restart the app.

No ads.

Privacy policy:

Fanorona collects statistics on your wins for the leaderboard. However, these statistics are not associated with your real identity; a random identifier is generated for each user. Of course, they are associated with the name you choose in settings; but you are free to use a pseudonym there, or give no name and default to anonymous. In addition, the leaderboard logs your IP address when you win a game. I have been unable to get Google App Engine to stop this logging, but I have set it to discard the log after one day, and I promise not to use the IP address for any purpose, or to disclose it to any third party.

2.5 adds achievements.
By popular demand, 2.4 adds the ability to turn off the requirement to keep making captures as long as you're able.

The fact that you can't deselect a piece and decide to move another is ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING! Otherwise, a good app. But why is the AI so bad at the end game, so often committing suicide with stupid sacrificial moves when it is down to three or four pieces? Invariably it literally hands the game to me on a plate.

Best version iv played so far on my hunt to replicate my experience on assassins Creed black flag. Dunno if it's just me but there's no sound at all. Doesn't take away from the game at all tho. deleting other versions.

Overall smooth simplistic design. However, a couple minor issues that aren't a detriment to the game. The first problem being you can't deselect a piece once selected. Secondly, the algorithm used to calculate the next move for the app enters an infinite loop of redundant moves, mostly back and forth between two spots.

While this game is fun, the app can't win against the game's character :'(

Once its human vs human, and you pick a choice, you cant change your decision, it makes you move that piece.

Basic and bland.

Once you've selected a piece, you can't deselect it. You have to play even if u see a better move.

A few things. Josh if you you hit menu you'd see start new game. It is too simple. Computer needs to be smarter. You need to have a choice to go second just for some variety. Plus you know too easy and final note, first place! Because its too easy.

N70%
by N####:

Should allow the player to go second.

Like a few people I was introduced to this game because of AC3. Fun game would like the option to go 2nd.

Needs a two player mode to really reach its potential.

Just beat the computer for the first time! Would be great to have two player and if player had ability to make defensive moves if desired rather than have to always take opponents pieces when possible.

I'd actually already updated my review after the last update. This app does everything I want it to now.

He added history tracking in the form of a line. Amazing!!!! Helps me to think about my next move and how the computer just dominated me.

J70%
by J####:

The lack of animation makes it hard to see what's going on and the UI isn't prepared to make any mistakes

N70%
by N####:

Its great, if not for the fact that it forces you to make a combo move even if you do not want to, many strategies which use singular moves during combo opportunities are null. If this had the option of taking an extra move or continuing without taking it, then I'd pay and rate this 5 stars.

R70%
by R####:

Yep

L70%
by L####:

Run, plays well, lacks options for graphics. The ads are not intrusive. The paid version doesnt seem to offer any additional options, so I have no motivation to try the paid version other than being ad-free.

K70%

Nice little game but it would help if you could stop combos when you wanted to stop , but overall a good game :)
