"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

Gute Umsetzung des Spiels. Gefällt mir.
Beautiful, relaxing and fun.
This app is an excellent implementation of a great game, and it includes the expansion, which makes the game even better. My only request is that I wish it had a back button for those times when I accidentally place a tile in an unintended location.
Very nice adaptation of the game!
Nice graphics, terrific UI and decent AI.
One of my favorites!p
