Very fun!Update- I realized I was using an amulet that forces me to push every turn.
When I first played this game I liked it so much I bought all expansions. But there seems to be a bug where several times per game
when it gets to my turn the on-deck card automatically pushes and causes me to often automat
FantasticHighly recommended! This is such an incredible table top game and the electronic verse is very well done. Thank you!
Amazing Digital Representation!This is a great card game unlike any other. It
'Love the game''I love the card game and now having a digital copy is great to play with friends during quarantine!'
'Does not follow the rules''On nearly all accounts, this is a great adaptation and a great app. The biggest problem I have is it does not respect the rules
for the planting phase. The rules do not state that you are required to push until you have 3 decay symbols, but this is what the
app will do automatically without your
'ideally suited for iPad play''This is a fantastic game with great artwork. While the game was originally designed for physical play, it turns out that the
central card construction mechanic makes it ideally suited for iPad play. The AI is excellent and the game flows smoothly. I have
played for many hours with just the basic ga
'Excellent Game!''An excellent rendition of the card crafting game I have grown to love. A friend of mine introduced me to Mystic Vale, and now it
is one of my favorite games, and said friend and I play it whenever I visit. Easy to play, yet lots of depth. When can we expect
to see more expansions?'
'Great game''Can’t wait to play the real version'
Great game, but it crashes all the timeI absolutely love this game. I own a bunch of the actual cards, and was ecstatic to see the app. Only problem is that the game
crashes constantly. I’m playing on an iPad Air, and it the crashes between turns a lot. Especially right before end game
scoring. Nothing is more annoying than having t
'Great Game but Touchy''Amazing game for the cost, but there are moments where the server boots me for no reason.'
'Where’s the help?''I’ve updated my 3-star rating based on zarro online help for odd questions to a 5. I figured out the issue on my own - or at
least don’t think it’s as bad as I thought. And while support on this app is still really lacking (esp given the quality of
what they wrote) the game is gorgeous, fun
'Good Game''Great game. Having a lot of fun with it. Four stars only because it will randomly close down. I’ve played probably twelve games
and it’s happened twice. Saved my progress though and hopped right back in. AI so far has been a challenge which is always a
perk. \nHighly recommend.'
'Relaxing and engaging''This game is such a pleasure to play. Although it may seem daunting at first, it’s easy to learn with plenty of depth. The AI
seems to play at a great level and the graphics are gorgeous. I will be playing this for a long time and plan on buying all the
expansions. I really hope they address the
'My favorite game for iOS''One thing I noticed when playing the base game online is that the token when evoked just plays automatically the next turn. This
game is amazing. Buy the real world copy!One thing I know of'
'Fun game. Love the expansions''Add more expansions and I will buy them. Online Multiplayer works but is a little unstable. If a player drops it gets taken over
by AI. That’s good but when they come back they can’t re-join. It’s hard to finish a game without someone eventually
dropping.'
'Great Game, Online Multiplayer Needs Work''Fantastic game. Multiplayer is a weak spot... \n\n1) There are few to no available multiplayer matches. Matching finding needs to
be retooled.\n\n2) Multiplayer kicks you off online games if you close the app or are idle for too long even with turn time set to
off. You should be able to pick up and
'5-star game, bad networking''This needs a local multipeer connectivity-based Apple TV app. Sitting right next to my wife, playing, the networking layer is
unstable enough to sometimes get us into an inescapable state where it’s nobody’s turn.'
'Very fun game''My friend has this in table top version and invariably demolishes me when we play. I downloaded this to improve my real life
game. I like the game play, the art, and the animations. Even the sound effects are cute. Dawnsinger’s song makes me feel
accomplished every time I buy her. The onlin
'It’s good, but kind of annoying.''I would give this game 5 stars, but there is one thing that kind of annoys me, it’s the fact that the hard mode computer seems
to ALWAYS have the perfect turn. It doesn’t make the game hard it just makes it annoying to play against.'
'Near perfect game with only synchronous play''This game has got to be one of the cooler deck builders in the past few years. My friend and I *love* the deck building mechanic
where you can craft semi-custom cards with a different top, middle, and bottom card section. Highly recommended!\n\nMy only
complaint against the game is a lack of asynch
'Beautiful app with engaging deck-building mechani'This is one of my favorite app versions of a table too game. It seems like real thought and care was put into this app.\n\nThe
card art is beautiful, and when you click on them, the images move a bit, and a sound effect is played. Love that attention to
detail!\n\nIt can be intimidating, at first
'Addictive but hard on eyes''I just learned this game and then found it was available to play offline on my iPad. So happy. Loving it. My only complaint is
there is so much to see that the numbers and icons are small and I do find myself squinting often.'
'Great game, but...''Asynchronous multiplayer would make it much, much better.'
'Great implementation, needs pass-n-play''One of my wife\'s favorite games. The iOS version is great. The only thing missing is pass-and-play multiplayer. Other than
that, it\'s right next to Star Realms as my go-to time-killer game.\n\n2019-07-25 They added pass-n-play, now they have to make it
work. The clan names are jumbled and dupl
'Great game, with one drawback''First of all, this is a great game and digital adaptation. It’s a very interesting combination of card drafting, economy
building and resource gathering, somewhat like a mini civilization game. There is no warfare element to it (not that I’ve seen
anyways), so it is also very relaxing to play.
'Great play''It faithfully recreates the experience even down to simulating cards going into sleeves which is a nice touch for something that
could have taken an easier way. It also takes all the adding and mana tracking away. The only downside is the game is over way
too soon.'
'Well Done''I love this card game and this is a great app implementation!'
'My Favorite Game!''I was delighted to stumble across my favorite deck building card game for the iPad. Does not disappoint.'
Amazing translation, a dream come true!I

'Great game with a couple things to fix''I’ll start off by saying that this game is fantastic. It’s fun and adds a lot to the deckbuilding game archetype. \n\nI got
the game for my iPad and love it; however, on my iPhone, the game crashes constantly, making it nearly unplayable. Furthermore, I
bought the expansion pack on my iPad, but

'Amazing translation, a dream come true!''I’ve been waiting for this title since I first fell in love with Mystic Vale and this digital translation is pretty much
perfect 🥰 I eagerly await each update and new expansion. Kudos! 🌲🧙♂️🧝🏽♀️🧚🏼♂️🍃🌳'
'great game, latest update hangs''now the app hangs whenever i try to use wafarer portal (the one that moves advancements from one card to another)'
'App won’t open...''I downloaded the app last night and played a game of it. It’s fantastic! Now the app won’t open :( tried it on my iPad and it
consistently crashes right towards the end of my game. Great game, horrible app.'
'Great game!''We love the physical game, and are very excited by the quality of the digital port to mobile. We thought there might be a couple
issues, but it turns out we had misinterpreted the rules!\n\nOnly one complaint. It’s a shame when a digital board game port
doesn’t include asynchronous multiplaye
'A favorite, but could we adjust the speed?''Love this game, but the AI’s turns go so fast that I don’t even catch what they are buying. Also, I sometimes hit the
wrong bottom and spoil because I’m viewing the discard pile. \nIt should not be possible to push nor end planting when the
display is on your discard or the AI’s board.'
'Good game,worth the price.''Having played the physical game, this is a great translation. In addition to the pass and play I would like to see an
asynchronous mode for multiplayer. I haven’t been able to get a multiplay game in yet and it’s frustrating.'
'Outstanding digital version of my favorite game''I own everything for the physical Mystic Vale game...all the promos, of the expansions, the game mat, etc. It is my favorite
game. I get so immersed in it when playing. \n\nThis is a great digital version of the game. Having already known how to play
MV, I just picked up and started playing wit
'Great App, but Limited...''One thing I love, it’s digital board games and considering the saved time in shuffling, love Deck-Builders. Beyond being a
functional app, this one has great production values. The core game is enjoyable and you get the first expansion for free. Fact
is, there’s very little I can complain ab
'Fun, good UI, faithful port, but battery killer''Having only played Mystic a few times, I bought the app on a lark, and I\'m pleased. For six bucks, the game looks good, plays
well (though I wish the opponent turns were a bit faster), and is perfect for my commute. Only complaint is the severe battery
drain (even with the \"battery saver\" settin
'Great translation from cardboard to digital''This is a good game app. Very well done. Looking forward to more expansions.'
'Great port of a great game''Would I rather play at a table with the real game, Yes. \nHowever this is a great port of a great game. Also a great deal.'
'Good port of a great tabletop game''I have always loved the physical version of this game so I was really pleased to find that they did such a good job porting it to
digital. Great value for the price and I look forward to seeing some of the expansions in the future.'
Critic reviews
Board Game Owner ApprovalI own the card game and most of the expansions. Bought this due to covid-19 social distancing. Checks all the boxes and has online
play.
[REVISED]
Bought for online play. Missing a way to invite users to games. No notifications about turns. Disconnects when I switch apps.
Creating a game timed out
Update on 03-05-2020This update changed the UI for the worst. The UI now zooms in when you look across cards, meaning you can no longer see and select
cards from a single static view. This is a hassle that slows down play. You now also have to click twice on vales to buy them
(once to select, once to purchase). The dev
Great game as long as you don’t want to play onlinThis game is gorgeous. As long as you want to play just single player. If you switch to multiplayer online player it’s very
frustrating. Often drops a player and doesn’t allow rejoining
Amazing art, but bad UIFaithful adaptation of the card game with a sprinkle of sound effects and minor animation. Maybe it’s better on an iPad, but
there isn’t enough space on an iphone screen to view all of the information.
