### 5/5 — 너무 재밌어요.

*2026-05-28*

간단하고 빨리 끝나고 좋네요.

### 5/5 — Un excellent jeu

*2026-04-20*

Un excellent jeu, avec un très bon portage et des niveaux de jeu quelquefois vraiment pas évidents à battre !

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-28, version 2.2.218*

The game is enjoyable when it works. If there is a way to save and complete later, I don’t know how to do that. It would be nice. It has been so glitchy lately and often won’t let me place a piece or won’t let me place it where I’d like. It is so frustrating that I’m not going to keep playing this game I paid for. Having the perfect shape and not being able to place it in the perfect spot ruins it. The problem got bad after recent IOS update and maybe they are connected.

### 1/5 — Very Glitchy

*2025-08-02, version 2.2.218*

Whenever I open the game and try to start the game it will get stuck in that screen. I will close it and try again and still no change. I will give better review once you fix that because it happens every time I try to play.

### 1/5 — Glitchy across multiple phones

*2025-07-04, version 2.2.218*

This game plays terribly, and constantly glitches. I had to completely delete the app numerous times because the game would become stuck when opening. My friend was not able to select her pieces and once the settings button is open during game play it can not be closed. The only way to remove it is to exit out of the game. To see if the other player has played you have to continually hit a refresh button. Really a great game on a terrible app.

### 2/5 — Langweilige KI

*2025-04-15*

Leider ist die KI nicht variabel und jede Schwierigkeitsstufe spielt immer dieselbe Taktik, was schnell frustriert und langweilt. Taktik üben kann man damit nicht. Als Anfänger sind echte Gegner genauso frustrierend, da man immer Gegner zugeteilt bekommt, die um ein vielfaches besser sind. Ich habe so keine Chance mich zu verbessern oder mit Leuten zu spielen, die mein Niveau spielen. 
Die Umsetzung des Spiels und die Grafiken sind sehr schön gestaltet, leider reicht das nicht. Spielt lieber das Brettspiel, das macht mehr Spaß!

### 3/5 — Good game, buggy apps

*2024-12-12*

This is an issue with all of this groups games. Every time you open it the game does not refresh. You get used to having to exit the match, go to your profile, wait for it to update, going back to your current games, then entering the game again. Then you can make your turn. They need to fix this because it makes playing the game a chore.

### 1/5 — Programmed for hard level AI

*2024-10-30, version 2.2.218*

Love the game but totally programmed for hard AI to win and that is cheating. Chokes off your play. Disappointing because the game is always one sided unless you play easy. 😕

### 3/5 — Ha dei bug!

*2024-08-06*

Il gioco è super carino, ma non fa vedere i risultati finali, non fa tornare alla schermata principale, non tiene traccia delle partite… andrebbero risolti questi problemi! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-07-28*

Very good digital version of the game
