At some point, there was an update. No longer works. Looks as if it is updating all the time! I wish I could delete it, but cannot even do that!! GRRR!! Fix or delete!! ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads *2015-09-16, version 1.0.2* Downloaded the game but when started to play a large intrusive ad displayed across lower part of screen. You can tap and remove it - at a cost of $6.49!! This is not mentioned in the promo for the game before you download it. So I deleted the game. Plenty more mahong out there which don't use these tactics. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lisa *2022-03-09, version 1.0.6* Love this game! ### 5/5 — Waiting for the next level! *2021-04-08, version 1.0.6* Love this game and done it over and over but I would love to see the next level in this century! ### 5/5 — Great Little Game. *2021-01-31* Fun game for an 87 year old.
