INGENIOUS BOARD GAME FOR THE IPAD! The much larger screen of the iPad is perfectly suited to Ingenious’ brightly coloured tile laying game action, and in this version there is a special mode which allows two players to play the game opposite each other, just like in a real board game.
"PLAY ONE OF THE WORLD's MOST SUCCESSFUL BOARD GAMES! [Known in Germany as Einfach Genial; in France as Génial; in Spain as Genial] Millions of players worldwide have either played Reiner Knizia's award winning game in the original board game format, or have played on one of the online sites.
The high res screen of the iPad perfectly suits the colours of the game, and the iPad’s super-intuitive controls make it so easy to place those tiles!
INGENIOUS is HOURS of SHEER FUN. The already addictive nature of the Ingenious board game is greatly enhanced on the iPad. Build lines of colour tiles, try and block your opponent, and remember ... the winner must excel in all colours.
EASY ACCESS: The rules are easy to learn and a comprehensive tutorial will introduce you to the game. Within minutes you'll be playing effortlessly, even as a first time player of the game.
MUSIC WHILE YOU PLAY. Just choose your favourite artist or songs from the music iPod on your iPad. And choose a different graphic background to suit your mood.
YOU'LL NEED STRATEGY to beat the AI opponents. But you have a choice of easy, medium or hard (as well as the option to play against the clock). With the local two-player mode you can also choose to play against a human opponent. The app will record your best scores and best performances.
PLAY ONLINE if you are feeling competitive. Compare your skills with leaderboards and challenging achievements via Game Center. Or choose to play single player TOURNAMENTS and try to win multiple games in a row. You can also choose to play against the clock in some of the rounds.
PLAY the SOLITAIRE game: Instead of playing against opponents you use all your skills to create a really high score.

8 of 25I love the board game so I thought I'd give it a try but it's been very frustrating because it doesn't work right is very difficult to place your tile to move to the next turn I tap the board continually with no response just wants to go to the peace I wish I would've done more research before I bought it
Ingenious is a clever game from Reiner Knizia, but the app does not do it justice. The user interface is annoying at best: players will find that pieces are either stuck on the board, not able to be placed, difficult to rotate, or have a combination of these problems. Also there is no tutorial, as far as I could tell. Finally, it takes so many unnecessary clicks to just play a game that is frustrating to play due to the crappy interface. Overall this app is not worth it even though the physical game is great. Buy the real thing and be glad you didn't experience it first through this app.
A very fun and addictive game!
This is one of my all time favorite apps but the last update has proven itself unreliable and buggy. I played a great deal of Ingenious during its early seasons on slower machines than my iPad Air with retina display... Now it is unreliable, buggy and crashes every time I have a good solitaire score coming. Sad to see such a great game go downhill! (Are the developers even aware this app is broken? Do they even care?)
This was a wonderful game - until the last update. Now the tiles won't drop correctly or sometimes not at all. This game has become so buggy that it is unplayable. No more Ingenious for me until they fix this mess!
Pieces won't release after tapping and hard to position. Even the tutorial jammed on me. I really wanted this app to work well as it is a neat board game
Love the game, but the pieces are hard to drop, turn, and leave.
Still a great game!
