### 5/5 — My favorite board game!

*2016-12-28*

Easier to learn than chess but harder to master! A game based entirely around human error, (which is why beating the algorithmic computers is nearly impossible) The fact that you have influence on your opponents move make it very intriguing to play, looking 3-5 moves ahead in 3-7 different ways!

### 5/5 — hard

*2016-05-20*

i have to think really hard everyturn. perfect bathroom game

### 5/5 — Very good.

*2016-04-25*

Pretty good implementation of a board game. Game takes some getting used to. Easy to learn. Some problems with multiplayer: notifications and sometimes needing to refresh to see recent move.

### 5/5 — Excellent strategy game

*2016-04-20*

Great work with this! Well made with strong AI. Two problems I've noticed. I've tried switching colors with the AI so that its black and I'm white so that I can go second. However, the AI just thinks and thinks without ever making a move. In the same situation, it would be helpful if the board rotated so that I could be behind my prices rather than play opposite.

### 2/5 — Notifications don't work

*2016-04-13*

This is a nice little game, but frustrating to play online because the app won't let you know if you need to take a turn. This would be a great asynchronous game if not for this fatal flaw. Unexpected and disappointing.

### 5/5 — Hidden gem!

*2016-04-12*

With the media these days, they usually cover the bigger production and I didn't even see this little cool strategic game.  

Played few games and here are my impression. Rule is very simple to learn in 1 minute but it's hard to master!  I've played few games on easy and won, but on medium, it's way challenging.  It has a little bit of chess flavor in terms of thinking ahead.  Haven't had a chance to play online because no one is there yet but would love to play with others once this becomes popular.
