Camel Up

I have this board game and my wife and I enjoy it quite a bit. So, I couldn't resist purchasing the IOS version when I discovered it in the App Store today. After playing with it for a couple of rounds, I quickly formed an opinion that it needs some work but is essentially a good rendition of the board game. First, the instructions on how to play the game are not complete. They do not fully explain all the details of the game. Mainly, the placement of the tiles. Next, the tutorial does nothing to teach you how to play the game. Granted, I didn't need the tutorial but I had to see how they teach new players. Now, the good parts. The graphics and sounds are well done and the game seems to be fully represented on the screen. It plays very well and the AI appears to be balanced. I look forward to further refinements in the game and hope that they will enhance the instructions and tutorial. Overall, it is a faithful reproduction of the board game. New players will be confused at first but should quickly pick up on the mechanics of the game. You should be able to find the full rule book on the Internet if you need more information on how to play.

I think the game play is solid, I have other similar board game apps and it is definitely comparable in terms of how smooth the game plays and such. That being said, I think that the computer players are far too single strategy based on their difficulty levels. Secondly, I was hoping that there would be some form of online capability to this game. That would really make the game worth the price.

The board game rules state players take a Pyramid tile when they choose to roll a die (moving a camel.) 1 pyramid tile = 1 point in Leg Scoring. Yet this iPad app gives no points at all for rolling a die. This changes the scoring system, and significantly alters player strategy. It's not the same game! Also, a few bugs / quirks, such as Overall Winner & Overall Loser bets being represented in such a way that you can't tell which camel was used for which bet. Hopefully these things will be fixed in a future update. Otherwise, lots of fun!

I love the board game!!! My only disappointment was no crazy going backwards white and black camels. This added an element of suspense/fun that the app is missing. Other than that and the purple camel was subbed for the white, I am pretty satisfied with the game. I let my coworkers investigate the app and they agreed, they agreed no. backwards camel and you can’t eliminate the purple camel. I would even pay for an in app purchase to get the expansion pack online.

I love the board game and the app version is a great rendition. If you already know hoe to play and love this game, it is definitely worth the $. I have not had any issues with crashing on my iPhone 6+ nor my IPad Mini 4. Love it. Great Job Outline Development.
