### 4/5 — Игра для друзей

*2026-09-15*

Отличное приложение, простая регистрация, онлайн игры с друзьями. Есть мелкие недоработки, например, в домино: отображаются только девять костей в руке. Получается, с базара взял десятую кость, а сходить не можешь - проиграл.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за фидбек, баг поправил в новом апдейте!

### 5/5 — очень интересная игра!
