Sadly, it looks as though this game has been completely abandoned. It has been 3 1/2 years since the last update. I've written the company multiple times to find out if the game had been abandoned but was given no answer as to whether this game was or not. I was just asked if I have subscribed to their newsletter. When a company refuses to answer a question, the answer is usually the opposite of the one the customer is obviously looking for.
Great game, very good AI, the UI is great and responsive, everything is laid out clearly so it's easier to learn this game with the app than the physical game. A surprising amount of depth, highly replayable and highly recommended. Still a few expansions missing, dont know if they'll add them at this point.
Great game but they haven't kept up on the updates leading to you not being able make a multiplayer game to play with strangers at least I can't. Also it doesn't fit my screen properly which is a lesser issue but nonetheless and I was told they we're going to release the other expansions but obviously that was a lie.
Just bought for $6.99 and it doesn't even open up. I want my money back.
Great, fast paced game with awesome mechanics.
Great replication of the physical card game.
Very buggy. Game can no longer start on my phone.
I hate to rate this 3 stars. It's a favorite of mine and easily a 5 star game, but it seems the devs have abandoned ship. It's been over 3 years since the last app update, meanwhile Android updates have been breaking the app in various ways for over 2 years now. I really can't imagine the fix being that hard... Tweaking some config or updating their game framework. Really sucks they're letting this die. The app is all but unusable now. Several times over the years I've checked for updates, did Android system updates, hoping to play, only to find the app still broken. PLEASE can't you make the hitboxes a fixed aspect ratio or something?! The biggest issue seems to be that the images in the game have a fixed aspect ratio, which maximizes to the width of the device. But the layer with all of the hitboxes seems to be stretched to 100% by 100% of the device width/height. One case where this is a problem... Android decided to automatically hide the action bar for games. So the visuals and hitboxes used to all match up. Then Android hides the action bar. The visuals don't stretch, they stay the same size, the menu hides, and the visuals slides down a bit so they're centered without the menu. But the hitboxes layer is stretched so it extends a bit above and a bit below the non-stretched visible layer, making the hitbox layer line up terribly with the image, especially at the edges. If the hitbox layer just scaled the same way as the images, it would work fine. It may even work to just disable full screen mode in the app manifest... would be better than it not working on 80% of devices. I will update my review the devs ever fix this, or if I find a way to make the app work.
Buggy as hell -- every other game crashes. DEVS UPDATE YOUR GAME!
This app will not work properly on newer hardware and newer versions of Android. Card highlights don't appear on my Pixel 6 Pro. It needs an update.
