### 3/5 — Fun--but hard to get an online opponent

*2016-03-06*

I like playing this--somewhat addicting. But it takes too long to find an online opponent--so it's better if you play a local game. Or a computer opponent would be nice when you don't have someone around to play a local game with!

### 1/5 — Unable to find players online

*2016-03-05*

Looks like old game that nobody plays. Don't waste your time. Disappointing...

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-07-14*

Took me a while to get used to it but it is still awesome.

### 5/5 — Fast cards

*2014-02-19*

Love this game I just wish level 7 and higher would be slower not much but just so it's easier to beat. 5 star game.

### 5/5 — REALLY fun!

*2013-07-31*

I was surprised at how extremely fun and challenging this game was! Can't wait till others catch onto it so there will be online play!
