AI too easy Otherwise good game. I'll increase my rating if the AI is improved so that a novice can't beat Charlemagne.

Buggy on 3GS and 3.0 Software When I first installed the game it played the first two games great. After a sync the icon changed to the Evernote icon and then it no longer displayed card images nor did it respond to input. I performed the typical restart and there was no improvement. I also deleted the game and reinstalled and still no improvement. Hopefully a 3.0 compatible update is in the works. I would gladly have given it 4 stars if I could actually play the game.

Charlemagne Makes a Comeback Are you looking for a relatively easy-to-play, yet challenging game of logic? Knights of Charlemagne is a nicely done remake of the classic board game, and it’s an enjoyable strategy, and in most cases, plain common sense game. If you’ve ever played Risk or Lost Cities, you’ll find Knights of Charlemagne offers a similar experience with one exception: the results are calculated at the end of the game.There are 3 levels of play: Squire, Knight and Charlemagne with the lowest level being Squire. The others levels unlock as you progress. 50 cards representing knights are distributed between the two players. The layout of the game consists of 10 estates: the first five are numbered, while the last five are color coded. At the bottom of the screen is your set of cards which are numbered and color coded with your opponent’s cards at top. The Tent shows you the number of knights that you have in reserve. A good tutorial with the rules is also included. Gameplay involves deploying your knights to any of the 10 estates on the board but there’s a catch. For the estates that are numbered, you can only place knights that have the same number, while you can only place knights with the same color with the colored estates. If you can’t remember what goes where, you can also tap the individual cards which will then highlight the estates to which they can be deployed. Also two random cards are removed from the deck so you can never be sure what your opponent has.The objective here is to outnumber your opponent at each estate, and a sword appears during the game to show which player has the higher number. A Crown bonus of 5 points is awarded to the player that wins the first two numbered estates. This is important because in my experience with the levels, the Crown bonus was the difference between victory and defeat. Once all the cards are dealt, then the totals are calculated showing who has secured the Crown bonus as well as the victor in each of the estates. A splash page appears indicating victory or defeat with the totals. Knights of Charlemagne is an enjoyable game with replayability because of the omission of the two random cards each time you play. While it offers 2-player mode, the game would be better served if it is offered with a multiplayer wi-fi as well as additional levels and gameplay options. With the save/resume functionality, the game is an ideal pick-up-and-play game whenever you need a quick hit of strategy.

Yes....and then there's this.... All the other reviews say things that are right on. I wish this game had a version where "I" can play last instead of always 1st. Let's also let me listen to "My" tunes while in card game play. Noteworthy....This is still a challenging , fun, replayable app card game.Ultra Marroons

Well done game, but gets old after a while Very nice production and it's nice that you CAN listen to your own music while playing the game. But it's really just a numbers game and it gets a little dry after a while. Still, if you're looking for a game to play a few times one day and then come back to it in a week or two, then this is a very good option.

Reiner games rock Knights is true to the Reiner boardgame of the same name and it is wonderful that developers are willing to bring these types of games to the iPhone. Want a game you can play thousands of times? Buy this. Want a game you can play 2 times in a couple of hours and then be done? Buy almost any other game in the App Store. Don't get me wrong, I buy them all, but it's a special game that can be replayed and this is it.
