10/10 would recommend

This game is absolutely amazing and you’re able to play it without any Wi-Fi. I would 100% recommend to any of my friends extremely fun game and it helps me relax

Fun but missing a few quality-of-life features

In particular: 1. I'd like to be able to review what cards have been scored while deciding whether to "koi-koi" or "stop." and 2. When I touch a card in my hand and begin to drag it, I'd like to be able to return it to my hand if I change my mind about which card I want to play. (Right now it often plays the card even if I drag it back to my hand area.)

Barely any Fun!

Too many Ads!! I can barely play ONE round without getting hit with so many ads!And good trying to listen to your music while playing. It constantly cuts it off while playing.

It’s Ok

Great implementation, but the advertisements are very aggressive for such a short game, and they occasionally break and force you to restart your game.

Been playing this for years

Excellent game; the AI is well coded. I love the card designs and the shuffling/playing animations. I highly recommend this if you’re looking to turn your brain off for a little while, as you can even change the length of the games as well.
