About this game

Lanterns: The Harvest Festival is a beautiful, thoughtful tile-placement game set in imperial China based upon the best-selling and award-winning board game. The app now includes the new expansion Lanterns: The Emperor's Gifts at no additional cost.

In Lanterns, players take turns arranging colorful floating lanterns on a ceremonial lake. Completing sets of lanterns earns Honor, and at the end of the game the player with the most Honor wins.

Vibrant visual effects, skilled AI, meditative environmental music and smooth touch play translate the delightful zen of Lanterns: The Harvest Festival to your phone or tablet.

"Lanterns is very beautiful and easy to get into, but has depth that can challenge even the most experienced players." - Geek & Sundry

"I think a lot of people are going to be turned on to Lanterns, because you can play it casually, or you can play it very competitively. Both ways it's very enjoyable, and it's hard for a game to do that." - The Game Boy Geek

"Lanterns offers tile-placement and set-collection with a twist, and that twist makes it more interactive than other tile placement games I’ve tried. ... I loved the simplicity and interactivity of the game, as well as the originality." - The Opinionated Gamers


Lanterns: The Harvest Festival offers all of the fun and depth of the tabletop game, PLUS:

• Online asynchronous matchmaking against old friends and new
• Strategic solo play to hone your skills against AI players
• Progressive Challenge system to guide you through gameplay
• Intuitive tap-and-drag tile placement for fast and easy play

Really good implementation of the game and expansion, BUT: This heats my phone up and drains the batteries like no other. The graphics are good, but there isn't enough complexity to explain why this game is killing my phone. I have a Pixel XL 1st generation, which is a bit old, but it's plenty powerful to handle these kinds of graphics with ease. Maybe there's no frame timer in the inner loop, so the game is running at 100% CPU drawing frames that will never get displayed? Good game otherwise.

Game is just like the board game, and it's easy to track and play with friends. Loses a star because if you leave the app and come back it always has to log you back in. This occasionally results in not connecting, which then requires you to fully close and then reopen the app. Again, the game itself is great and just like the board game, with pretty good graphics and audio.

Very good gaming experience. Would be even better if you could zoom out on the map. And even on the "hard" setting the other players don't seem very strategic - wasting platforms and not using multiple matches. But overall a fun way to play when I can't find a real life opponent!
