### 3/5 — Matchmaking hurts

*2023-10-20, version 3.5.52*

Cool take on TCG’s but I get stomped every game, pls match me against someone else who is bad for once😭

### 1/5 — The game sucks

*2023-10-18, version 3.5.52*

It’s literally Pat to win I just started and literally can’t do anything when I get out up against some who can literally one tap every one of my cards is sick

### 5/5 — Cards and castles 2 on mobile????

*2023-09-18, version 3.5.52*

I have played this game for a few years now and was wondering if 2 is ever coming to mobile?

### 3/5 — Almost great game

*2023-09-10, version 3.5.52*

Would be a great game if the developer paid attention to it and kept developing it and adding more features. Really good game, just hasn’t been updated in 3 years

### 5/5 — Honestly couldn’t ask for a better way to waste time

*2023-06-26*

This game is one of the best I’ve played in years. Not only does it implement fun gameplay, but it also makes you think, instead of mindlessly clicking on your screen for no reason. Can’t wait for the second one.

### 3/5 — Hi

*2023-06-18, version 3.5.52*

Your mom liked this game so I downloaded it just to be flashed with 25 card packs…!?!?! Stop being nice to me game…

### 2/5 — Mentiroso

*2023-06-13, version 3.5.52*

Claims to offer 25 languages, but the game is only available in English. Fun, but false advertising brings it down to 2 stars for me. I specifically look for games in other languages so I can practice languages.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-04-23, version 3.5.52*

Awesome goofy ish cartoony graphics with a great core gameplay mechanic

### 4/5 — Why not 5

*2023-02-22, version 3.5.52*

Been playing for awhile and I love the game I just wish there was more cards coming out I know it’s an older game but I feel there’s still a lot of players

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-02-12, version 3.5.52*

Far better than CnC2
