slow, awkward version of classic 80s board game

The game is fun. Each character has its own distinct feel. The big problem here is the design of this digital version of the game. The most glaring problem is that the board is only shown at an angle in the center of the screen, with lots of wasted space around its edge. You can zoom in on any space in the board, but theres no option to display the board as if it were printed on the screen of your iPad (the way that 99% of board game apps show the board). Even once you learn what each space on the board does, cards are placed on the board and they are nearly impossible to tell apart (on my Retina mini iPad) without zooming in. To make matters worse, to read a card you have to first tap the space its on, then carefully hold on the card - if you accidentally tap twice instead of holding, you move there.

The dice roll quickly, but then (for no apparent reason) they SLOOWLY slide to a different part of the screen before they are tallied up. Cards also slide around slowly.

When reviewing your followers, the "dismiss" button is actually used to KEEP that follower... which is the opposite dismissing him!

Even on the highest animation speeds (max them out ASAP!) the AI shows all its moves as if it were a human player, leaving you waiting long periods between your turns.
