Elegant and polished

Great game to pick up and play with a friend during in-between moments. Takes 10 seconds to explain the rules, 60 seconds to finish a game. As you get more reps with a specific opponent, you start to seize each other up more and you tailor your strategy to their thought process. This game strips away the pointless frills of most mobile games and delivers a polished and novel experience.

👍

Really good idea for a game. First turn advantage seems really strong but that’s part of the strategy to try to force your opponent into a bad position from the start. Everything’s polished and clean. No ads in a free to try app earns my dollar for sure.

Deceptively simple

Super easy to understand but it’s not long before you’re big-braining your strategy and trying to think three steps ahead only to realize you were still three steps behind your opponent. Fun and lots of options to play with.
