Five Kings

On 2018 iPad Pro and iPhone 14 ProMax:

The option to select game difficulty does not work and the bottom, right corner question icon, and the! Icons when pressed do not function.

Fun

I started playing Five Kings with friends and am glad to have a place to practice and understand the rules better.

Good game. Plays well. A little abrupt.

I like playing this game. It’s easy to learn and play. The interface for changing players names, skill level, and playing position is a bit clumsy. I would like time at the end of each hand to review players’ cards and also at the end of the game.
