Really nice game, but...

Please make that moving bus optional. It was cute at first. But then it quickly became a distraction. And its motion actually makes me a little bit queasy.

And please make an option for a having all the losers pay when there is a low-point tie. That’s the way we play 31 at home. As the app is now, no one pays. And so the hand becomes a waste of time.

It’s fun, but it wish more popular

I love the game! But I wish it was more popular so I could play with other people.

Nice card game

This card game is brilliantly relaxing, it’s similar to the card game (3 card brag). The only thing is there is no one to play online, you can wait and wait for an online match with no joy. Please fix

Perfectly Designed

Works faultlessly and smoothly, you’re not bombarded with ads either which is refreshing.
