Ratings and Reviews
Very nice implementation
I've been really enjoying this app - the graphics are great, the gameplay is quick and the AI opponents are well balanced.
The one thing missing from this game, and it's a real shame, is the ability to play a "pass and play" game.
If that were added it would earn its fifth star!
Addictive despite itself
It’s an addictive sort of game and I play it sometimes but to be honest, I don’t really like it that much. I know that sounds contradictory but it’s true. I don’t mind the tactics and stuff like that but the goals aren’t easy to work out. I mean, draw from table well, don’t you do that all the time? The draw stack is surely on the table isn’t it? Also, if the game is in speak mode is there really any need for the tutorial to be so damned offensive? You’re trying to learn and it’s meant to be fun but it sure doesn’t feel like fun to me. Also like another reviewer I think the game is somewhat loaded in favour of the computer at times. I’m certainly not all that good at it but then I only started playing it about a week ago and I have won a few games though not by much, don’t know how people get massive scores but I’ll learn maybe.
Great Game - Invite a Friend Doesn't Work Smoothly!
Firstly, this is a great game and playing against the computer opponents works perfectly.
That siad, we bought this game so that we could play on multiple devices within our home. The game is supposed to let you do that over the new apple implementation of game center that uses messaging; This just doesn't work easily!
We got it working once, after much difficulty, where more often than not it drops you in a live game with some random online opponent instead of the firend you are inviting. It now no longer works at all. It states we are in a game but it is waiting for the other opponent to decide on a rematch; selecting yes just drops out to the main screen.
Since aplle have recently been attempting to self-destruct with there implementation of hardware and software "improvement", it may be that resolving this is currently outside of the developers control.
