What real reviews say
★★★★★ Best Mobile Game Best mobile game hands down, infinitely replayable, and doesn’t require an internet connection making it great for on the go and even flying.
★★ Can’t see cards Move the cards up so you can read the text without having to click on them. When you try to click the cards half of the time they don’t even move up enough to read them anyway. Just move the text to the top of the card and the artwork to the bottom. FOR THE LOVE LET US BE ABLE TO READ THE CARDS!!!
★★★★ Amazing, UI needs work Amazing game. I have played many hours on PC. Mobile port needs some work. Text is small and can be hard to read on phone, even with bigger text enabled. Cards can be finicky, many buttons too small. I am playing on iPhone 17.
