*2024-02-20, version 2.0.9*

### 3/5 — Add more variety

*2022-07-08*

Love to play this but am frustrated with the lack of game options.  Mexican train game is known for the variety of play.  Such as:  train becomes open if player played on any train but their own, or only if not on their own or Mexican train, don’t have to draw when their train is blocked, …

### 4/5 — Fun

*2022-05-26, version 2.0.8*

Great game - even I can play it!

### 3/5 — Name add

*2022-05-19, version 2.0.8*

I AM GIVING THIS GAME A 3…NOT BECAUSE 
I DONT ENJOY IT…IT’S BECAUSE I CAN’T FIND A PLACE ANYWHERE TO ADD MY NAME AND I EMAILED YOU ALL TO HELP WITH THAT AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE…

### 4/5 — Question algorithms used

*2021-12-30, version 2.0.8*

It seems that the player in the third slot wins much more than players 1&2. I play hardest and win often but place three will get on a roll and win several consecutive games.

### 2/5 — Advertising

*2021-08-07*

I have played your game for a couple of years. Even though I like your game, I probably won’t continue to use it due to the 35 second advertisements between rounds. I don’t mind advertising; but really ! Every round. That’s too much. I would rather see advertising at the bottom of the screen during game play. The ads still get my attention without being so frustrating. At least limit the ad time to one or two intervals per game.
I decided to try your game again. Now you have some advertisers that hold you hostage. The advertiser freezes and you can’t exit. The latest one was woody wordpress(?)  even though an x was present on the screen every time you hit the x it took you to the App Store. You have constant advertisements on your screen during play. I always consider those.  BUT! To hold me hostage!?!
I can not afford to pay for your app.

**Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry to hear that you're having an issue with our advertisements. The information you provided has been passed along to our team for investigation. If you run into any further issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at orientexpressios@glowingeyegames.com. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Name

*2021-07-25, version 2.0.7*

Should be able to add player’s name

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2021-03-27, version 2.0.6*

Can’t stop playing. Love it!

### 2/5 — Long advertisements

*2021-03-24, version 2.0.6*

I enjoyed the game until the ads increased in frequency and length.  Most recent ad was 4 minutes and wouldn’t give an option to close.  Stopped and started the app then the same ad popped up again.  Same issue with how long it was playing.

### 5/5 — Mexican train

*2020-09-26, version 2.0.4*

This game suddenly stinks. Why did u change it?

### 3/5 — Schucks! The graphics have sadly ‘improved’

*2020-09-23*

I just got a new iPad and my games, apps and purchases were reinstalled. How bummed I was to see right off the bat, that the graphics have changed.  They are very similar, but have lost that warm vintage look for a new slick look. I’m really bummed out about that. I wish there was a way to install the older version. There was nothing wrong with it and I had it for years. I play this game (sad I know) an hour each day for relaxation. But I’m not so sure anymore. I perhaps I will adapt. Ugh. The sounds are different too. It’s lost that familiar feeling.

### 2/5 — Orient express dominoes

*2020-06-30, version 2.0.2*

The game plays incredibly slowly and glitchy on my iPhone 8, and makes it impossible to play

### 1/5 — The AI is programmed to cheat

*2024-12-28, version 2.0.10*

The “players” play as a team against you, which of course isn’t how the game is actually played and is definitely cheating. All games by this developer are like that, but at least the graphics are pretty. All that said, you can usually win because AI that is programmed to cheat is not programmed to have any strategy skills.

### 1/5 — Major glitches all of a sudden

*2021-06-03, version 2.0.7*

I can’t get my game play options to work any more. Game is too slow when it stops to tell you which player has a turn :/  Tried to fix in pass and play settings, but then the game switches to three round mode, which stinks. Settings need serious attention!

### 1/5 — Orient Express Dominoes

*2021-05-12*

App violates IOS agreements and exposes users data and networks without user permission. 

After install of any app i make sure apps do not have access to my private networks. 
THIS APP DOES NOT SHOW UP IN SETTINGS. 
No way to set permissions or even verify it installed or uninstalled. 
Runs offline so OBVIOUSLY installs local:  But illegally hides itself from "Settings" 
SO HOW is user to verify this malware uninstalls when it never even shows up in system when installed beyond desktop shortcut?

### 1/5 — New version terrible

*2021-04-16, version 2.0.6*

Any chance to get the old version reinstalled??

### 1/5 — Half a star

*2020-07-02, version 2.0.2*

This game is not nearly as good or as much fun as before the update😔🥺😢

### 1/5 — Offensive and immoral ads

*2020-06-04*

For some reason, Glowing Eye has decided to begin showing ads on their games portraying what some would perceive as immoral relationships. These ads are geared towards young minds, and I strongly resent this blatant attempt at indoctrinating young minds in this manner. I am removing every Glowing Eye game from my devices and will not download any more of their products. If you have kids that are using these games, you may want to check out the ads they are being exposed to.

**Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry to hear that you've come across an inappropriate advertisement. Rest assured, it is never our intention to offend or show anything that is inappropriate. Ads are served by a third party company, so we do not choose ourselves what is shown. We try to block inappropriate ads as we find them, however, we aren't always able to come across them all. If you are interested in aiding the investigation process, please get in touch with us directly at support@glowingeyegames.com letting us know if the ad was a banner or pop-up. Also, if you can recall the name of the game/service/brand associated with the ad, this would help us tremendously in finding the ad. Many thanks in advance!

### 1/5 — Orient Express Dominos

*2019-12-07, version 2.0.1*

I don’t care for this format at all.
I enjoyed playing in landscape.

### 1/5 — C-in-Texas

*2019-11-30, version 2.0.1*

New graphics are hideous.  As expressed by others, you had a classy game and felt compelled to ruin it.

### 1/5 — Orient Express

*2019-11-16, version 2.0.0*

I hate the way you messed up a perfectly great game, cheap looking. More childish looking. Can’t stand playing this game any more.  I am an adult; not a child,,   
It doesn’t even look realistic.  No fun anymore.

### 1/5 — A perfectly great game experience totally ruined

*2019-11-15, version 2.0.0*

Terrible! I deleted this game after years of thrilling entertainment..

### 5/5 — Back to normalcy

*2025-08-25, version 2.0.10*
