Ratings and reviews

Good game, buggy implementation. Pros: nice game, pretty, the AI is decent. Cons: Buggy, lacks basic features, abandoned. Switching away from the app makes it impossible to switch back (the app just displays a black screen). The UI is pretty but not very functional. Having to drag cards into place instead of double-tapping is annoying and makes the game feel slow. No pass-and-play mode. The game hasn't been updated in ages, so it's probably abandoned.

I absolutely love the physical copy of the game, so when I saw there was an app I was excited. I think the app is great, however, dragging cards across the screen to play them is annoying. I'd rather double tap to play cards. Also, the online is annoying when you start a game, someone accepts, then never plays a card. There should be time limits on turns.

Fun trick-taking card game. Notes: The text is tiny. It's probably better on a tablet but I've only played it on my phone. I've had some app crash issues. After first installing it took a few tries to get the app to open. Even now, if at any point I navigate away from the app and come back to it the screen is entirely black and the only way to get it working again is to close the app entirely and open it back up again.
