User reviews

Simple, Calming, Fun

This is just a very pleasant and easy trick-taking game. It has a few surprises here and there. And the scoring is pretty unique. Gives the game an added layer of skill and finesse.

The art design is beautiful. Music too. I’d highly recommend this game to people who enjoy card games. And for beginners, it’s an easy trick-taking game to understand, and perhaps it’ll get you interested in that “genre” of card games.

Really disappointed they haven’t bothered to optimize it for all modern device sizes

Pretty sad that one of the biggest digital board game developers can’t be bothered to optimize any of their games for all modern devices.
