## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad game false ads

*2024-11-16*

Game looks nothing like preview. No instructions, not even relaxing, no depth, no point.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2024-10-14*

Completely pointless

### 1/5 — Why???

*2024-10-13*

Please help me understand why there is a 3 hour wait between turns? This isn’t playable!

### 1/5 — The reviews are right

*2024-10-08*

Oh my gosh. I read the reviews and thought it can’t be that bad. Oh it is. Turn based city builder. No instructions but that’s okay I figured out how to play. Move once and than wait 3 hours to move again or pay money. It’s pretty awful. Don’t waste your time, or do. But if you download make sure to leave a 1 star 😉

### 1/5 — Unbelievably bad

*2024-10-07*

Game started with NO instructions, tutorial or help.  I placed one building and was given a “next turn” button.  For my next turn, I was given a few more buildings to place.  When I placed them, instead of the “Next Turn” button, it was a 3 HOUR TIMER.  Seriously? 2 turns followed by a 3 hour wait?

### 1/5 — Waiting game

*2024-10-05*

I understand games need cook time for realism and to stretch the gameplay but starting out in the first 30 seconds with a timer to wait is ridiculous. The interface and gameplay aren’t intuitive and there’s no tutorial or instructions.

### 1/5 — Deleted it immediately!

*2024-10-05*

I opened the game and there is no training, no explanation of what to do. You’re just there not knowing what to do. I didn’t understand what i was supposed to do. Don’t even know what the game is about. Its obvious that the ads you see of this game are 100% a lie. I wish developers stop doing this to people!

### 1/5 — Umm…

*2024-10-05*

Not sure what I even just downloaded but it’s not even remotely a playable game.

### 1/5 — Terrible game!

*2024-10-05*

One of the worst games ever!  DELETE!

### 3/5 — It’s not terrible

*2024-10-08*

It is definitely not complete but i enjoy the simplicity of getting different cards and placing them, i like how your turns build up so if you don’t play a while you will have several turns and many cards to put down, I think there could be more explanation and there should be more info on the cards and an idea of how they are producing resources
