### 2/5 — Good Game At The Start

*2026-08-18, version 1.51.1*

The game is good although there are a lot of ads which does come with a free game. However if you play the game for a month or so you’ll end up being unable to win games as the only way to level up and compete the higher levels is to spend silly amounts of money. Good for a few week game.

### 2/5 — Good game , but needs work

*2026-07-30, version 1.51.1*

Its disappointing giving it a 2 cause its a good concept, but you have made it way to hard to get new players , the signing tokens are a joke , basically just pay to get anything better than a rare card, so im stuck not able to move on , so wont be playing anymore
