Stone Age: The Board Game App Reviews

Attentobi is a cheater! Im pretty sure he has found a way to cheat in this game. I just played him and in the first 3 turns, with no tools, he was able to roll: 3 clay with 2 men (12) 6 wood with 4 men (at least 18) 6 food with 2 men (12) Every turn after that he had amazing rolls. He must have found some way to cheat the game. It really is no fun playing against someone who cheats. Hope Campfire is able to close these loopholes in the future. Congrats Attentobi. I hope you are happy with your victory!

This is actually better than the board game which I really love. I find the boat concept instead of the cards actually easier to use. Love the different ways to play, online, side by side and against the computer.

Love this app! Its like having the board game in my pocket. Perfect time waster when Im waiting for appointments and such. Plays just like the board game, only less messy. AI hasnt beat me yet, so its probably a little too easy. However, its enough to keep me paying attention, and I hate losing anyway. So this is good! :) One problem...or it would have 5 stars. I cant seem to add my husband so that we can play together online. He has the app as well, and sending him an invitation only brings him here to download the app. Sorry if Im being dense...but help me please. Thanks for a great game!

I love this game, and this app is almost better than the actual game, but I have a HUGE complaint. There is no way every single dice roll is that bad and that low. Every single time! Most commonly, I will have for instance, 5 guys on Wood and get only 4 wood...really?? Something should be done, its clearly not "random" enough.

iOS rules slightly different than board game, but no biggie. The biggest bug I have encountered is the 5 day turn limit. Twice I have been in league matches involving other players who did not make their turn within the 5 day limit; however, instead of automatically losing the game and causing the others players to tie for first, the game simply froze. Most irritating is the total lack of response from the developer

I picked this app up after playing the board game at a friends house. After playing it with the improved AI update, I won the next round at my friends house. This app really speeds up the learning process and the hardest AI is decently hard.

I played Stone Age for the first time a few weeks ago and soon after I learned of this app. Wow! The app is intuitive and true to the game, and the AI players are good enough to keep you on your toes. If I were to recommend anything, it would be to offer a couple of stronger AIs and/or player ratings (or am I just not noticing these features?). Stone Age both as an iPad app and as a boardgame has found a permanent home in my rotation. Oh, and the wife loves it, too -- a major plus!

This is one of my favorite board games. They adapted it really, really well. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is smooth, and the computer AI is one of the best Ive played. I recommend this app to anyone.

I love this game on table top, and the app certainly doesnt disappoint! Plays faster than the board game, which is a nice plus, too. Highly recommendable!

Ive been enjoying this App for a while, so I wanted to go ahead and write a short review. Its a great implementation of the Board Game. In fact, our family didnt own a physical copy of the game, but purchased one after enjoying this App for a while. (Customer service has been top notch as well.) I cannot recommend this app enough. Also noteworthy are Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, and Small World for beginners, Lords of Waterdeep on an intermediate level, and Agricola, Puerto Rico and Tigris and Euphrates on a more advanced level of board gaming fun.

I enjoy this game a lot. It could easily be revamped into a sequel that had more depth. I would also like an option to increase the number of houses and boats available. Still, great fun and definitely worth the price.

This game was really fun and I played a long time but Ive been doing ranked mode and getting buggy resignations. After a month with about 5 emails to them I havent even gotten an acknowledgement. Ruined the whole ranked competition for me.

I havent seen many others complaining about the multiplayer. For us the lag was huge and constant. Kept tapping the arrow at the top-left corner, tapping "Multi Games", then re-selecting the match I was currently playing to get it to refresh. I was on chat with my two friends while we played. Eventually we started relaying when we would finish our moves so the others would know to refresh their screens. We could have played two games on the physical board in the time it took to painfully play through one. I experienced the crash during the final feeding, like many others have mentioned. I love the UI. They did a great job with it. All three of us will not play this game online again, though.

Great in every way.

Simple gameplay and rules, good interface, AI or human, decent replay.

I love the game but this app leaves a little to be desired. 1) Internet matches are not real time, you play a turn and then days can go by before your opponent plays. 2) the board doesnt really show the entire picture if whats happening: how many tools do my opponents have or how many huts have they traded for.... After a few days Im lowering my 3 star to a 2 star because the multiplayer functions are terrible: LAG - I need to leave the app in order for the opponents turn to load.

Plays just like the board game, and is easy to learn how to use. However, . . . The online multiplayer setup is poorly organized and managed, particularly with the Stone Age league. You cannot choose your opponent, and you cannot select a time frame for the game you want to play. So a person who wants to play a relatively quick game can be matched against those who want to play a game that lasts for days or weeks. But the biggest problem with the league is that there are glitches. Sometimes, you are unable to play your turns, games are mistakenly resigned, and your player rating gets messed up. I recently lost a game in which I was unable to play my turn for several days, and my rating was dropped way more than it should have been. So after gradually climbing to the top of the leader board, I was bumped way down for no reason. So needless to say, I am done with their "league." The other annoying thing is that Campfire Creations never responds to emails, so when problems arise, they dont do anything about it. So if you want to play against the computer or friends, or if you do not care about player ratings, the app is ok. But if you want a better experience, get either Agricola or Lords of Waterdeep. Playdek is a far superior company, and these are better board games anyway.

I love that this app saves your place switching between iPad and iPhone. Its fun to play with friends.

One of the best-loved games on Board Game Geek, now in a well-done iOS adaptation.

I love this game for solo play. Ive seen some reviews about it not doing so well with multiplayer, but I am really only interested in playing with my board game friends. As a solo game it is fantastic. The person who said it does not use the same rules plays differently than I have done, it plays with the same rules as I do on the board game, EXCEPT for the counting resources as a point. I never actually tried to make resources a strategy point, they dont seem worth it to me. I aim to have as few as possible, which is a marker for me that Ive played efficiently. I like the fast play. It is true that it is really fast, I hardly can track it as it is going, but you can, at any time, look at what the other players have collected simply by tapping any of their icons to get a chart of all players.
