Awesome game, some suggestions

Gr8 game...very good transition from board game... Very re-playable ..would like to see original game ported to iPhone/iPad ... one annoying ui issue--very difficult to click on correct artist (iPhone/iPod) when using +2 card...consider using pop-up with each artists painting

Great light fun!

This game is quite simple, but I find myself coming back to it frequently due to its light, fast & easy gameplay. Do wish I could pass & play it with my wife, but the AI is fun and interface is adequate. Fun!

Great quick game

Love Reiner Knizias games. This one remains challenging after many games played. A game only takes about 5 mins so great when youre short on time.

Why does a game called Modern Art look so ugly?

Ugly graphics all around. When trying to add 2 to an artist, its way too easy to press the wrong artist and theres no way to undo your mistake. On top of that, its not very fun anyway.

The game is very good, the interface is bad

The game is very good, the interface is bad. The +2 card crapshoot is annoying--its anyones guess as to whether the artist you choose actually gets the +2. Also, make it much more obvious when the player is playing a card on another players turn. With a better interface, this could be a 5.

Shallow

The underlying game is shallow and boring, and the adaptation is rather ugly. Also, the game plays sounds even when my phone is in silent mode.

Not the real game

Love the real life card game but this is nothing like it. What a waste of money.

Okay, but the interface needs work

When playing a card on another players turn or playing one that wont use its power they need to make the warning text bold and red so its more obvious. It very annoying as is.

Not the same as the original, but thats OK

I was a little disheartened when I first discovered that this what not the same as the original card game, but as I got more into it I realized this version has more strategy. My friends and I had already discovered that the auction style of the original made it a little broken once everyone figured out the basic strategy. This version has a deeper strategy to it. Still needs a little work. Why not use the variety of art from each artist to add some variety to the cards? Experienced one bug where a season lasted twice as long as it should have (season didnt end at six paintings, but reset the numbers after six and we played until 12 paintings were played by an artist. Needless to say it screwed up the game). A few touch ups and youve got a fine game.

Good game

Nicely done.

Brilliant game, flawed interface

Love the game but it messes up in many different and weird ways. Leaving a game and continuing later often results in errors, like not recording earned points or melding two rounds together. Also, the +2 is difficult to put on the suit you want. Definite 5 star potential with updates.

Its good

Youll probably enjoy it too

Very well-designed game.

Challenging and fun.

Needs multiplayer

Im 1-starring every Skotos game that I have until they either learn to or hire someone who knows how to implement multiplayer through Game Center. Quit making iOS versions of Knizias games unless you are going to do it right! Let someone else do it properly.

Solid game but not board game

Originally got this thinking it was the board game. I have been pleasantly surprised as the game is fun and addictive. The AI is reasonably challenging. If you liked the original Modern Art this card game version has the same spirit and is very enjoyable.

No multiplayer

This is unforgivable for a board game.

Almost perfect

Great solitaire adaptation of a really good light card game. Multiplayer would have made it perfect.

Great fun!

One of my favorite time passers.

Not the same game

If you like the original board game called Modern Art by Reiner Knizia, this is not that game. Different rules, different style, different play. Its a bait-and-switch job: same name, same designer, same icon art, otherwise different. If you want to play the original Modern Art game by Reiner Knizia on your phone, do NOT buy the Modern Art by Reiner Knizia app.

Disappointing

Not even remotely the same as the tabletop game. What a rip-off.
