Online play but no notifications?
It’s awesome to get to play this online, on mobile at that. I don’t get notifications when it’s my turn though? I’ve tried signing out and reinstalling the app but no luck. Have to open the app to see that it’s my turn.
Quite a bummer, otherwise pretty good implementation (although sucks the hex grid doesn’t show unless you hover over the board)
★★★★★positiveerin45150 · 2026-06-22 · v1.18.7
Good. Could be better.
There is only one map. The instructions are difficult to understand at first. I was unclear on how to do a peasant riot for example. But entertaining.

Impossible to play on cell
Pathetic

Best game, but needs online assistance
Devs, this game is amazing. The best, but it’s unplayable online. Sometimes, when I go to place a tile, the tile will get stuck in mid air, and basically freezes the whole game until a bot takes me over “for taking to long on my turn”. And then, so I’m forced to quit the game and when I come back, there’s no option to join back in. This needs fixing as I haven’t been able able to complete a single game online

Excellent but with a major (but not fatal) design flaw
I love this straightforward implementation of one of my favorite board games. App is attractive and works well EXCEPT that the tiles are key at the bottom of my screen, which means that half the time I try to slide a tile onto the board, my iPhone thinks I’m trying to switch apps. Could the tiles please be placed on the side or something?? Maybe in a corner? Very frustrating.

Fantastic implementation of a great boardgame
There’s a lot of great boardgames that have miserable ports to digital. This one is great. Easy to use. Great visuals and music which enhance the game and don’t slow it down. If you don’t like it, chances are its because you really don’t understand how to play. There’s a video walkthrough of this app. Give it a try.

Amazing game. Terrible app
Nothing about this experience is smooth or works well.
★★★★★positiveHollywoodstudiosshouldlovethis · 2022-07-14 · v1.18.6
Beautifully Done
They made this a joy to play. Love the graphics, etc. Can knock out an AI game of three players in fifteen minutes. AI was tough, but now I consistently win about 2/3 of games on hard. Only bug I’ve noticed after 30+ games is that when I have two blue tiles and two green tiles and I’m wanting to move a monument, it only allows me to destroy a tile (peasant revolt) instead. Haven’t found a way around it.
★★★★★negativeBeebsman · 2022-02-26 · v1.18.6
Game needs maintenance
Bugs are making the game borderline unplayable. Constantly freezing during tile or leader placement or not registering that you completed your actions. Having to constantly close and reopen the app to redo the same move over again.

Dire Wolf has lost its way.
They used to be the best company in the digital board game adaptation business. But now they charge you $125 for Dune: Imperium, and don’t give you all the components after over 13 months. And support will not respond.
★★★★★positiveStallion409 · 2021-06-11 · v1.18.5
Notifications fixed, now the game is literally perfect
Amazingly polished implementation of a fantastic game. Developers are responsive to bug reports too! Get this game, it is incredible.
★★★★★negativeMerendino ny · 2021-05-04 · v1.18.5
Poor multiplayer
Game is great but when playing multiplayer right now the app isn’t alerting me or my buddies that it’s our turn. It’s making the game unplayable asynchronously. Will adjust scores when it’s working correctly.
★★★★★positiveBrandonrule4 · 2021-02-17 · v1.18.5
Great fun
I learned how to play through the app and instructions were clear enough that I could hop in but as I play the strategy becomes more and more apparent, good stuff!
★★★★★positivemrfixsimmons · 2021-01-07 · v1.18.5
The Best Board Game ever
Great digital version of the game. So much fun. The Training and Campaign are great ways for new players to learn quickly and efficiently. Glad that it has full casual asynchronous play (3 day limit) as most digital board games do not.
★★★★★neutraliPhone lad · 2020-05-06 · v1.18.1
KISS Principle
Yellow and Yangtze is a great board game, but this app suffers from over production. I found the 3D effects interfered with my ability to assess the board and plan my moves. The animations were annoying. Please consider adding a vanilla option with 2D board and no sounds/animation. This game is too busy; keep it simple!
★★★★★positive9 aces? · 2020-03-27 · v1.18.1
Good port
undo feature sometimes fails when first move is placing a governor—need to force quit to make turn work.
★★★★★neutralthe-real-mxl · 2020-01-26 · v1.18.1
Solo Play Too Difficult
I want to like this game, but as a new player I find the AI just, relentless. Playing three-person against the computer, the Arrow player always has a copious supply of governors, making it easy for it to overtake everyone else. Like, every single time I play. Am I missing some strategic element, or is the game just that difficult? I mean, I find the game unplayable currently. Arrow cleans me out in like, three moves. Every time, in every mode AI mode.

Update are great
Patch took care of the worst bugs. THANKS!
Found one bug though. During multiplayer game, all Leaders on board have my seal, HOWEVER, two are opponents. Thankfully the “swirl” around my leaders are still there, so I know which are which. Hope to see the fix as quick as last time👍🥰
★★★★★neutralMgddpub · 2020-01-04 · v1.17
Really needs an open scoring option and a log of moves.
I loathe Knizia's decision to keep scoring hidden. Many feel similarly, which is why the T&E app has it as an option. The game just isn't as fun without that info so I'm docking the review quite a bit. 5 stars if they add that option and a log.
★★★★★positiveFEB777 · 2019-12-20 · v1.17
My new favorite digital board game
This game is a Blast! So much fun. I love the combination of abstract game, with subtle strategy needed to win(& which fits the China theme so well). The basic concepts are simple, but winning takes some thinking. The graphics and sound are fantastic. Dire Wolf does it again and I have to say, for me this is even better than Raiders of the North (which is also fantastic!) The Only thing I can say I’d like fixed is to have the ability to hide the banner with scenario goal at top right which takes up valuable real estate.
★★★★★negativeRauthane · 2019-12-19 · v1.17
App freezes
After the logo fades away, the app stays on the black screen and won’t load to the main menu.

Tip top. Great app. Keep up the good work
