So I usually play on PC but when I’m on mobile and I have to face a Shudderwock my phone apparently can’t keep up with the animations. It’s laggy and time-consuming as it is sitting around waiting for all the animations to finish, even ‘tapping’ through them… BUT TO TOP IT ALL OFF, by the time it’s FINALLY my turn, THE ROPE IS ALREADY OUT. So now I have to try and finish my turn in roughly 10 seconds while facing incredible interface lag. How is that possibly fair? My turn’s timer is ticking down before I can even take a single action. It’s already a slog trying to recover from the card being played, but this makes it impossible.
You can skip the animation delay by clicking the preview card the appears on the right side of the board.
Animation skip
Unfortunately, on my phone, it can’t seem to skip fast enough. I never had a problem with the game lagging so bad until the WW expansion, coincidentally.
Just restart the app. That is what I do. Restarting game clears all of those queued up animations. I close the app the moment first shutterwock hits the board, and restart. Game loading and reconnecting usually takes just enough time so that opponents turn ends, and mine has just begun.
As a side note, doing this, I have seen my opponent watching his own animations for a whole turn, and he skiped his own next turn.
