### 1/5 — Good fun but unreliable

*2024-04-23, version 1.4*

It’s a great game and always brings a smile to everyone when we play it. Unfortunately it is unreliable and randomly disconnects players half way through the game. This seems to depend on what hardware the player is using, since it affects some players but not others. So, the developer needs to fix this.

Not available in some countries. Couldn’t play with my friends
