Great implementation. Some bugs.

Not sure if this is intentional, but if you qualify to get two kings on one turn you can only select one of them - this is expected as you can only get one a turn. However, in my experience you will not be offered the next king on your following turn. Rather that king is only triggered on the event you purchase a relevant development card on a subsequent turn. I would expect the king to be offered on a subsequent turn even if a development card is not purchased.Great game, excellent clone.

This is a great game! I wish more apps would allow for private games with people you know. We play all the time. And it’s free and the ads don’t impact the actual game play. Though, sometimes the ads bog down the system. But for the past several weeks, the number of gameplay bugs have really impacted this app. It seems the developers are struggling to keep up with the huge success of this app. Please make comprehensive updates to get this back to the smooth software it was months ago. Thank you so much!

Hello, this is the Ephod development team. We sincerely apologize to everyone who experienced the issue of being kicked out to the login screen when launching the game on March 19th.The bug occurred due to an increase in users, causing a load on the game records in the database memory. The issue lasted for approximately 6 hours, and we took additional measures to prevent the same problem from occurring again after resolving it on the same day. We have provided 1000 coins to everyone who was unable to enjoy the game properly during this process.We deeply apologize to many of you who have felt inconvenience due to recent update failures and this incident. We acknowledge our shortcomings in this process, and we are truly saddened by the fact that Ephod is now perceived as an app with many issues.Taking this experience as a lesson, our development team will put more effort into creating an environment where users can focus solely on enjoying the game. We sincerely thank everyone who loves our game, and we also express our gratitude to those who provided feedback via email and reviews during the bug process.

Splendor dupe but PLEASE FIX THE BUGS

Been having this problem since the 2nd to last update. In private games, with 2 players or 4 players, the game refuses to start; even with players in the game lobby waiting. With the new update with 2 players the same issue persists but when one player leaves the game (all other buttons are non responsive) the other players game starts with a bot. Let me reiterate, we LOVE this game, it connects me and my friends internationally and is our game night game weekly. Please fix this, our game nights just isn’t the same :( Other than that this game is AMAZING. Take the time to learn it and you will be addicted!

Ad free version malfunctioned.

I paid for the ad free version in February. A few weeks ago (in March) the game, logged me out and changed login mechanism with no warning. I opened the game and found that I could not login. I lost my progress and my credentials no longer work. I have emailed the developer and received no response. I complained to Apple and my refund was denied. The developer is not responsive and there is no customer service at all. The game is pretty fun although it does not allow every remaining player one additional turn when the first player reaches 15 points like in splendor. if they would refund me or allow my ad-free subscription to work with the new login information, I would be satisfied. But no one is resolving my concern.
