The game is good and simple, sometimes the computer plays easy moves so as to make the player win or gain advantage in the game. It will be even more interesting to play with online multiplayer. The computer always move in a fixed pattern there is no variety of movements even in expert mode.

Honestly thank goodness for this app because I just bought a physical version of this game not realising what it was and this app helped me learn how to play it better than the MTL guidebook that came with it. The app itself is very basic as far as board game to mobile apps come but it does it's job.

We don't see the animals clearly, too small and similar drawings. Not online multiplayer.
