### 1/5 — Free ?

*2018-11-16*

Advertised as free with in app purchases which is fine. However after a few moves of the first game you’re asked to pay to play.

Each game I play it asks me to pay for something and when I go back into the game it restarts I never get to finish

This game is horrible. Don’t waste your time, because this game is laggy. Maybe if they updated it, I would get it, but another issue: you have to pay! I’m not paying money for a game that’s laggy as crap!
