Spotify Fail

Good game similar to Jack Box, but completely reliant on an online service Spotify. I don’t personally use Spotify, which is fine, but occasionally we would scan cards and nothing… looking at the phone and it says, “Spotify will not allow streaming this song” or something to that effect. This board game only works as well as Spotify streams, and I suspect may require a premium account to actually use all cards.

Terrible support, false claim

The game won’t run on older iPhones. Support lists a false answer to which iOS is required, and there is no ability to maintain the previous versions.

Poor support. False listing. Apple should delete this app for failing to follow standards.

Great for New Gamers!!!

This game gas gotten my MOST game-hesitant guests to the game table AND had them ask for a reply while buying it on Amazon. Get this. Get it.

Appareil photo bloqué juste pour l’application Hitster

Récemment lorsque je lance une partie l’appareil photo reste noir. C’est un problème lié à l’application car mon appareil photo fonctionne correctement.
