This is how the press looks at Café International:
"AppZapp blog", Rating: 5 out of 5 - "Conclusion: the app completely
captures all the fun that the board game offered. It may be played
individually or 4 players may look for opportunities to place the
guests in the right spot." - 3 Plus, no Minus, AppZapp blog, 02.08.2012
"fun2tap.com", Rating: 4.5 out of 5 - "An award-winning board game is
a perfect recipe for a game app very much like a best-selling novel
being adapted to a motion picture. If you or your kids are into
puzzles and card games then this app is for you.", fun2tap.com, 26.11.2012
"midlife gamer", MLG Rating: 8/10 - "One of the great things about
Café International is whether you are a beginner learning the game or
a diehard fan wanting to experience a full on strategic challenge you
can tailor the game to suit your needs by changing not only the
difficulty of the AI opponent but also how many opponents you face. (.
..) By importing not only Cafe Internationals classic gameplay but
also adding single player elements into the mix, Application Systems
Heidelberg have released a well polished addition to the digital
board game genre which will be an excellent purchase for fans of
either strategy board games or for the quick fix of toilet gaming.",
midlifegamer.net, 22.08.2012
"AppTudes", Rating: 4 of 5 - "With great gameplay, clean Retina
presentation, and bonuses like single-player modes and Game Center
achievements, Cafe International is arguably better than its
cardboard counterpart - especially without having to clean up
afterward. A great addition to any family's digital board game
collection, or fans of strategy board games looking for something a
little lighter.", AppTudes, 13.08.2012
"MobileTechReview", - "Conclusion: Cafe International is a solid iOS
remake of a popular Euro Boardgame from the 1980s. Gameplay is easily
understood, but the strategy is deep, which should keep you coming
back to this one for a while. (...) Give yourself a few games to get
the hang of it." - MobileTechReview blog, 15.09.2012
Awarded by iphone.qualityindex.com as "Finest Game Publisher August
2012" based on great 9.2 average ratings for Café International.
"iPhoneLife Magazine", - "Solitaire for cafe addicts, with an offbeat
80s feel... That's my impression of Cafe International. Uh, how many
restaurants or shops are seating lone international guests
specifically by nationality or gender? None that I know of, but that
really isn't the point. The point of Cafe International is good old
pattern-matching fun with a multi-player twist that everyone can
enjoy.", Nate Adcock, 01.09.2012
"Geeks with Juniors", "As a board game geek, I always appreciate it
whenever a board game has been ported to iOS. That way, it's easier
for me to set up, find opponents and clean up afterwards. That said,
Cafe International for iOS is an excellent way to experience a
classic (and out of print) board game with friends and family." - ,
Geeks with Juniors, 01.08.2012
"iX - Heise Developer", "Why would I feature this game in my heise
developer blog? Café International is a very good game and one of the
best board game adaptions that I have ever seen on tablets. This is a
great example for app developers of board game adaptations: The first
positive aspect is the faithfulness of the graphics to the original
board game look&feel. The game has no gimmicks or unnecessary 3D
effects. The computer opponents are neither totally stupid nor
invincible. My impression is that the developers of this game knew
the board game really well and that the motto of this port was
"quality above everything". Whoever adopts these rules and uses a
great board game as a foundation will succeed.", German review in
Kais bewegtes Web 09.08.12 - von Kai König
"Stromstock", Rating: 4 of 5 - "After 25 years Café International
still is amazing - also for player who never played the board game
and make their first experience with the game on the iPad.",
