What real reviews say
★★★★★ Best game ever Hello inspector. We have audited your activities for the past 20 years. There are some anomalies. But you have served Arstotzka well. We will overlook these small transgressions… You have been cleared of any suspicion. Glory to Arstotzka.
★★★★ Please update Please update for more of the newer devices. A screen update 🙏 something to fix that the iOS island/pill notch isn’t in the way of the game.
★★★★★ Bring it to Mac please!!! I love the game absolutely I really do I just wish that it was playable on Mac too
