Do not buy. It freezes a lot

Game freezes every 2 minutes. DO NOT BUY. You have been warned.

Watched Ludwig play this a year ago — still hooked today.

I can only ask you keep updating the game. After having your anniversary update I was extremely exited for what could come next. Hopefully the queens next!
I will say I do get stuck on moving forward with the game so I hope the “loops” get fixed one day.

Fun, but flaky as of late

I've had the game for a long time, and play it casually. Recently it's been fairly flaky though, mostly in the form of hangs. That's disappointing.

Not fun

A game is a series of interesting decisions. I guess this technically qualifies. But it just isn’t any fun.
