Paper Tales - Catch up Games

This is the biggest missing feature for me. I need to know which buildings to target without memorizing it.

I really enjoy Paper Tales as a game, but the app is extremely underdeveloped. Tutorial is completely barebones and isn’t sufficient for a new player to learn the game, you can’t see the available buildings until the building phase, etc. Needed way more testing and development before they started accepting money from people.

This app probably works fine for people who already know how to play the game. As someone who has never played Paper Tales but has played hundreds of board games in physical and digital implementations, this app needs a lot of work. The tutorial is a slide show that doesn’t explain how to do things or the user interface. The player information bar floats over your draft picks so you can’t see what you’ve already taken. There is no in app feedback on why something isn’t working. I think I’m going to ask for a refund on this. It looks pretty and I think if you know the game it might work for you. It doesn’t work for me.

Tutorial is a joke. No rulebok. Not intuitive. Makes no sense. Trying to learn by playing, but nothing is explained, it’s a huge waste. And it’s not like I haven’t played 1000 different strategy board and card games before or 100s of board game apps. In the deployment phase in Age 2, I deployed cards that I can afford and the green checkmark doesn’t enable. I tried different combinations of cards, nothing. No direction from the app as to what I’m doing wrong, it just sits in this state expecting me to do something, assuming I know and understand the rules, but the app never taught me the game. Not sure if the app has bugs or I don’t understand the rules. I suppose I could seek out the rules online, but I shouldn’t have to. Horrible. Zero stars.
