pretty good implementation of the boardgame. small problems like not knowing how many points will be given for valkeries and shields, need to be able to zoom more so the place that you want to raid can be easily selected in order to minimize the risk of attacking the wrong place, and if you are listening to music on spotify or other platforms the music is cut out when opening the game and while selecting what type of game you want to play.

2024 update: **** no bugs or changes playing single player vs AI for a few years now. 2020 **** A well-done board game. App has problems which causes it to freeze or blank screen. The result is that I have lost some wins and challenges completed. FYI, another user said you can't see what's on each card in your hand by tapping. You can by holding the tap for a second.

This is a great adaptation of the board game. I would give 5 stars if the app didn't take audio focus everytime it's opened. If multitasking while playing a game, it should be the user's choice to listen to audio they choose. This makes me want to get out of the game as quickly as possible.

Valhalla! Really enjoying this game, play it in 4-player asynchronous with friends and haven't lost a game to app bug crashes yet. The app takes a bit to load up however it may well be my phone that needs the upgrade. The board game itself is really fun, never played the game physically before but was very easy to pick up and play and I can see that it will become more and more tactical with crew abilities etc. as we go. Bring me the expansion!

faithful to the physical game with charm and style. Runs really well on a note 8, but does seem to be a bit of a battery eater. cant wait for the expansions to get added! (and maybe architects next?) (only 4 star controls as viewing tooltips for plunder is awkward and unintuitive, and placing workers can feel like threading a needle at times)

Great game, great design, great graphics... It's really cool. I have the board game but this is much more fun when I can see the animation. One tip/problem: I would like to sync my progress in campaing within all my devices. Currently I have the game on my phone and my home tablet, logged on both devices with my "account" but the progress within the campaign is not synced. Please add. Thx and one of the best board game transformation into mobile game.

It's a good digital version of a boardgame that I also own. The campaign was good and challenging, but it's rather short. I enjoy games where I can play against the AI, but this one feels repetitive once the campaign is done. Since your ability to choose what you do is so limited each turn, it often feels like you have no control over any strategy; you can only really play what's available, and the only thing that makes one player different from another are the cards you draw, which are random.

Great tutorial got me started quickly , and it's a wonderful game with a decently challenging AI. However... I dropped my rating from 5 stars to 3 once I started trying to play online. The online experience is excruciating, with repeated crashes and necessary force-quits. Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 attempts just to play my turn. The friend I play with has an iphone, and has had similar experiences. So: fantastic game for solo play. But VERY buggy and frustrating to try to play online.
