Game ruined by bots and AI!

Have literally been playing this game obsessively for more than 8 years. Had a solid 55% win rate as an experienced player. Now the best i can muster is 40% over the course of as many as 150 games! Somewhat overnight this game has been taken over by bots and players using AI. This game has been my absolute go to for killing time and taking a break. So frustrating. Avoid wasting your time!

Love the game but…

The app was great until some leadership hit his head.
Now I need to log in in line to pass and play.
Constantly keep restoring purchases on the same device and the game glitching and hanging when starting without internet.

I love card game and mobile game, but the hardship to even start the game that have arrived with latest update just a top of incompetence in UX.

Please do better.

Fix the reliability issue please.

Good game when it is working. After years of not playing I came back to try it again, I forgot just how often it locks up on you and you lose turns due to it. Very erratic sadly.

Rigged AI

The AI pulls unimaginable hands and makes the game straight up unenjoyable. You’re playing against someone who is basically cheating as they get the perfect card pull every time

Best game ever!

Amazing game!
