### 5/5 — Characters Expansion?

*2024-11-08, version 1.1.6*

Love the app! Any plans to update with the new Characters Expansion?

### 5/5 — This is what I needed!

*2023-10-29, version 1.1.6*

This fantastic app solves the problem of wear and tear on the tiles being shuffled around in the bag. The setup is quick and easy. 

My only request would be to add an option for the Intensive Service variant that has the first 3 tiles be service (blue) tiles. An option to toggle between standard Intensive Service and random Intensive Service variants would be ideal. There is a way to work around this manually, but having it be an automatic option would make this app perfect!

### 5/5 — You neec the Boardgame „Obsession“

*2023-10-29*

Excellent App, clean, without adds or DLCs – and I would give a sixth star (if possible) as the app is very much about data privacy, not forcing unnesessary access to your address book and such.
