Pandemic: The Board Game App Reviews

Great game, originally saw on Tabletop!

I absolutely love this game. It plays just like the board game, and its well worth the price. A great game to play on your own like this, especially since the more players you add the harder it gets. It gives you a chance to play a bit faster (since youre not counting cubes out manually) and practice a variety of strategies with more "people." Highly recommend this game to anyone wanting a fun game that makes you think. Its the only game I enjoy losing almost as much as winning.

Faithful To the Original!

Love the game on here, the sound and music add depth and intensity! Playing the game on AirPlay on the TV is awesome!

Great adaption from the board game

Would love to see multiplayer support.

Great game

I love playing the board game. Just wish a person had a better chance of winning.

Extremely polished

This is one of the best designed, functional, and faithful renditions of a board game ever made. You wont regret buying it.

Excellent adaptation

Lots of fun to play solo or with others. The original board game is a modern classic and this iOS adaptation is superbly done. The board and rules are slightly modified from the original but it works well. My one complaint, and it’s a really petty one: I wish that that makers of this game and the boardgames would stop using the Mercator projection for the map. It means that all the cities you actually visit are crowded together and the relationship between the city icons and their location on the map is too tenuous. Robinson or Winkel-Tripel (the one that National Geographic uses) would be bette, or even Goode-Homolosine. Oh, also the victory music is weirdly anticlimactic. Fantastic game overall. The iPhone version is a welcome upgrade and works surprisingly well on the small screen. This is a must have for anyone who likes board games.

Fantastic

I am in love with this app. I have already won a few games by experimenting with different types of strategies. I highly recommend to anyone wishing for a challenge. I enjoy the fact that each game is played differently based upon the type of jobs you choice and where the infections are located.

Unreal

Awesome game solo or with friends

Fantastic!

A perfect port of the game. It loses nothing from the board game. All mechanics work great, I love that you can undo all actions on the current turn. Excellent excellent port!

Perfect

This is an amazing game and one of the few that I would rate 5 stars. The rules were very clear and I loved the fact that it will tell you why a certain action is unavailable. The graphics are fantastic and everything fit thematically. Also, unlike many of the other board game ports, there were 0 bugs and crashes while playing through. I also have to compliment the music which greatly adds to the tension of the game. At only around a fraction of the cost of the tabletop game, this app is a must have.

Excellent!!

Whole family is addicted from age 12 to 42...also comes in a board game version...great "family working as a team" time.

Where is my On the Brink?

I already paid for On the Brink. After the last update, it is not available anymore, its really upseting. Otherwise, its quite simply my favorite iPad game! Hope youll this quickly, thx.

New update constantly crashing

I love this game and was very happy with my purchase. I updated it yesterday and now it wont play for more than 2-3 minutes without crashing. Please fix the bugs!

Love it

Absolutely love the board game and the app is just as great. Love it. Worth every penny

Just like the board game

Fantastic game! Worth the money. My only problem with it is that it completely drains your battery, 10x more than any other app Ive ever used.

Great game but...

This is a great version of the boardgame with the theatrical music and animation. unfortunately running the game heats up the phone significantly and the trophy room doesnt appear to be working. Hopes this get fixed in the next update.

Great adaptation, but battery drain

The game is fantastic. The only issue that I’ve it’s the battery. It’s a beautiful and simple design game, but can take 15 to 20 percent of battery per game. I’ve have carcassonne that graphically is probably more detail and take less battery. I’ve contact the developper for telling them the issue and they told me they know, but don’t know where is the problem and for right now it’s not their priority.

Awesome version!

Love the board game and the app is phenomenal. Same as the board game without the time spent setting it up between games. Best yet, you dont have to think about messing up the game when the board gets ugly and cant remember if you added cubes to a city or not.

Great app

Waiting for the Lab upgrade

Great game, but cannot turn off instructions

I think this is a great implementation, really fun. BUT since the last update, I am no longer able to turn off the instructions on how to play. So I get them. Every. Single. Time. I. Play. Its so annoying. I have tapped every single button available in the game and cannot turn them off. Help me. For the love of God.
