What real reviews say
★★★★★ Works great in my Mac not on my phone All I get is a message saying not enough disk space, I have 100 gigs free soooo…
★ Trash hand smoother makes you lose Garbajo
★ Obviously Rigged My opponent played two murders in a row. I played a Kate Bishop and equipped a buster blade to her and said “I guarantee they play another murder next turn.” They played a murder next turn. The game doesn’t even try to hide the fact that it’s rigged and that is why I will never spend a dime on it
