My husband and I play it daily - it’s our favorite. The app is nice for playing the AI, but the physical version is great for couple’s. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-10-05* I love everything about this game but it doesn’t seem to register when another player takes their turn. Im playing on an iPad and I have to exit the game and refresh for every single turn I take so see what the other player did. It ruins the whole experience. Otherwise I’d give this 5 stars ### 5/5 — Awesome pass and play game *2025-04-13, version 1.41* My favorite to play against a friend pass and play. The computer is okay too ### 5/5 — Entertainment and education in one *2024-12-19* I’ve been playing this since testing the beta version, along with the physical card game, as well. For as straightforward as it is, a satisfying level of strategy is involved to make for a truly fun experience that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. ### 5/5 — Great game, more players please *2024-12-02, version 1.41* I love this game, but could you all give it away for free for a short period of time so there are more users in the mix. ### 4/5 — Online play slow. *2024-04-30* 24 hours to play your turn is too long. One game can take weeks. Limit the time to 30 seconds so each player has to stay vested in the game until it’s complete. ### 2/5 — Slow online games *2024-02-12, version 1.41* When playing online games, the turns take forever to get through. It’s as if the app freezes between every turn. Please fix! ### 5/5 — A great game, a great implementation and a fantastic customer support! *2024-01-23, version 1.41* I had been enjoying this game offline for some time when I finally found someone to play online. I went to enable online play which ended up causing an issue that ended up locking me out of using the app at all even after reinstalling it. I emailed the dev and he responded with in a day that he had pushed an update to fix the issue and I was back playing the next day! Thanks so much for a great game!! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-12-20, version 1.40* Was finally able to connect with my girlfriend on a spiritual level after playing this game either her. Recommended for any lonelies out there ### 3/5 — I LOVE this game, BUT very buggy. *2023-07-15* We have had the card game for years now and it’s great having a mobile version as well. I’m really disappointed at how many game breaking issues there are though. A lot of the foray cards don’t actually work, for example: Using, I chose 4 cards of the same cool value (two different types of mushroom) and the game highlights them, but I’m unable to cook them. There are a number of similar issues I keep running into and it’s ruining the game for me. PLEASE fix this!! It’s been 4 years since the last update and there is clearly some work to do! ## Frequently asked questions about Morels ### What is this app?
