Perfect for casual play with friends and can handle many if not all types of play

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! :)

### 1/5 — Please add different player layouts

*2024-08-21*

The user interface is AWESOME ! my only complaint is for 3 and 5 player games there is not an option to change the layout. It would be nice for the player layout to be changed depending on how people are sitting at the table ! For example , 3 players , 2 on one side and 1 player on the other … OR 2 players across from each other and the 3rd on the side

**Developer response:** If it is awesome, why one star? :)

### 4/5 — The
