### 3/5 — Wonky, but works

*2025-07-31*

An awesome trick taker, wish there were more players online, but the bots are fast and brutal, very good tactical decisions made.

The app needs polish, difficulty settings, a tutorial? A text explanation for the buoy cards… will update if these thongs get fixed.
Overall, tons of fun!

**Developer response:** We will publish an update today fixing some problem? 
The AIs have different dificulties. To they all feel the same for you?
You can check the buoy cards in the rules. Also would like it in game?

### 4/5 — Nice to have this game

*2025-07-23*

Yeah, the program is a little wonky, as many are by this developer.  It would be nice if the you could have a save game state, also.  But this is a playable and really creative game.   Combo trick taker and deck builder.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-07-21*

The input is really buggy. Works inconsistently on an iPad, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to actually play a card on my MacBook Pro, despite the app saying it’s compatible. Save your money and avoid for now. It is a fantastic game, however if they can get it to actually work!

**Developer response:** Can you explain what is the problem on your mac book? Can you select cards? We will publish an update today that fixes that.
