### 4/5 — Rather easy if you know how to play.

*2024-09-12*

Not bad, won with flying colors on my first game. I kept getting sake in my deck, it almost felt like the game was pushing me to win. Not much fun after you win every game though. Tip: go to game settings and slow down the animation speed…it’s way too fast on default

Overall ok as a time sink.

### 4/5 — 私に得点が入りません

*2019-01-21, version 2.0.6*

とても面白いですが、役を揃えても【あなたの負け】になり、何回戦しても私の得点は０点です。

### 4/5 — Неплохо

*2018-06-01*

Но есть один минус: карты «перебегают» так быстро, что я не всегда успеваю понять, что случилось.

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2018-01-06*

This game is rigged. Can hardly make a winning hand. Not for beginners

### 5/5 — レビューついてなかったから

*2016-04-10, version 1.5.3*

わからなかったのですが、やりやすいし見やすいですし、相手も強すぎたりしなくていいです。

### 3/5 — ご多聞にもれず

*2015-11-10, version 1.5.1*

やたら敵さんの引きが強いです。それと、萩ばかり配られて嫌だ。

### 5/5 — かなりいい！

*2015-05-09, version 1.5*

バグもなくなっていて、とても快適でした！相手の強さもちょうどいいです。

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2014-03-18, version 1.2*

Too many bugs

### 2/5 — Unfortunate

*2014-02-18*

There are glitches, I have played cards that the computer then got instead of me. Computer has gotten my draw pair before.

### 2/5 — バグ

*2014-01-23, version 1.2*

色々なこいこいアプリからたどり着きました
遊びやすくとても良いアプリだと思います
縦配置でできるので通勤時など片手のみでプレイでき重宝してます
残念なのはバグかと思いますが、自分の取り札や引いてそろった札まで相手に入ってしまったりすることがあります
これが改善されたら星五つのアプリだと思います
