Too unstable and finicky
First let me say that this is a fantastic rendering of Tikal in iPad form. However the game clearly was released without sufficient testing. As other reviews have mentioned, the Undo function causes the game to crash most of the time its used. After crashing, the game takes several minutes to start again (so long that the first time it happened I wasnt sure if it would ever start again). This wouldnt be a showstopper issue if the Undo function was rarely used. However because the interface is so finicky, its very easy to accidentally take unintended actions, especially while trying to zoom and pan the board. Thus the need to frequently use Undo. I think the designers were aware of how finicky the interface is because by default all actions are confirmed (I.e. Do you really want to take this action?) Such confirmation would not be necessary if the interface was well implemented (see Carcassonne for comparison). If the devs fix these two issues it would be a 5-star app.
