"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

   • Online asynchronous matchmaking against old friends and new

User Reviews

I recently downloaded this app about a week or two prior to this review. I had created an account with Renegade/Dire Wolf but when the terms and conditions appear on the screen within the app, there is no way to agree/disagree and no way to close the pop up without closing the app and starting from the beginning. This is causing me to be unable to play any multiplayer mode.

The user interface, and especially the tutorial, need serious upgrades.

Great version of the original. I just wish you could toggle off the animations. also would be great to have one level more difficult AI, but all in all it’s great
