The juice is worth the squeeze

A classic board game with a steep learning curve and sometimes hard to get to the table. The app is cute for what ails you! Well done. Lovely to interact with. I can play this worthy classic any time anywhere and stop when time is short. A full game is less than 30 minutes. I can’t recommend this enough.

An amazing app for an amazing board game

I never get tired of this game. Each game is different, especially with expansion, which I highly recommend. I wish they’d produced a 2nd expansion, for us all timers…
