### 2/5 — No knock

*2024-05-06*

When playing on your phone how are you supposed to “knock”?? How do you pass your turn? There are no directions about how to knock.

### 3/5 — Disappearing cards

*2021-02-03*

Why do the cards disappear?  I have to close and reopen app to get them back.

### 5/5 — Colourful fun

Not sure about the concept of addition suits or cards or the colour scheme. But I guess it plays ok albeit feeling somewhat weird.
