The game is excellent except that I have trouble trying to play online internationally, it seems to only be for local multiplayer. I would love to play online internationally, is there such an option? Also I remember I meant to clarify a few days ago, that it would be excellent if the game had an account & gamer I.D. system where players could search for the gamer I.D. of other players as well or find the other specific player through game invite links.

Thanks. The random opponent is international, it matches you with anyone from anywhere in the world who has also chosen random opponent. This is a new update and will take some time for more users to update or install. The more users, the better your chance of playing with more users, so let help make the game better by sharing. Thank you.

I think 4 things need to change for this app to be better. 1. You should be able to choose which version you are playing with applicable rules. for example, I was taught the Ga way, the player who wins the penultimate 4set seed takes the last 4, NOT the player who started. that is just lazy. 2. you should be able to undo a move. 3. a move should be double click because sometimes you touch by accident and it moves. finally, remove the shells. I want to capture pots and play from them. I won them

What in the world??! This "game" gives vague instructions, then plays by itself without even explaining how the pieces are moved, nor where, nor how many can be held. Utterly useless to anyone who doesn't already know how to play. It looked like the seeds were redistributed, but the image doesn't show how many are picked up, then after it plays several moves by itself, it shows one seed in hand. Automatic play doesn't allow you to figure out how the moves are made or how the seeds are counted.

By showing you one seed in the hand it means this is the last seed from the last picked up. So if the next house has no seeds then it ends but if the next house has seeds then it will add the one seed to it and pick the total seeds for distribution. However our developers will look at showing how many seeds was picked. Thank you for your review.
