What tablet players say
With each and every update, they continue to fail to correct the return order indicator! Doing pass and play is hopeless on iPad because you cannot tell who needs to pick new cards first so it leads to screwed up turns. And even then, between turns, it defaults to showing the other play screen until you manually tap on your own. It makes no sense. These problems have persisted through every iteration. We’ve finally just given up.
Jc127· App Store· Mar 2026Bought this to play with my family when on travel but the game freezes constantly or kicks players out requiring constant exiting and reloading of the game. The font is ridiculously small with no way to increase it or zoom in making it difficult for phone play. Definitely an iPad game. Lots of other improvements needed on the UI to make this a 5 star game.
