Best game ever

### 5/5 — I love Bot Howdy games

*2019-10-30, version 1.21*

I II These are the best games they are really free and you don’t have to earn coins or stars or whatever to keep playing. It’s fun to just sit down relax and get too playing. I sent them a question and I really didn’t have high hopes that I would get an answer BUT I DID!!! And it wasn’t days waiting for them to answer.  I love Pyramid Solitaire,Q10 is great , Myjon? Is fun and the list just keeps going . You will not be disappointed with any of their games. ******** many stars to them.

### 5/5 — The best!

### 5/5 — Boy Howdy Games

Have nothing but praise for all the BHG. Fun, designed great and a big plus not many ads. 
Keep up the great work
Thank you.

### 3/5 — Crashed tonight.

*2018-05-15, version 1.16*

Have been playing this game for some time and tonight it has crashed and now does not work.

### 1/5 — Never win

*2017-11-16, version 1.16*

I miss the traditional pyramid.  It had a nice balance of winning and losing.   This new form is designed so you seldom, if ever, win.  I used to play pyramid every day for years.  Now I seldom play it, because after months of playing and NEVER winning I gave up on it

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2017-09-17, version 1.16*

Bit of a different twist. Makes you think, especially if you've been playing other solitaire games. Have to keep your eye on the whole layout to plan your strategy. Or to realize you haven't a prayer.
