Regret buying

It doesn’t work properly. Even though I set it to not play automatically, to let me place the seeds, it still places them automatically so that you sit there and watch the game and don’t actually play. I plan on asking for a refund.

Response from developer

I am sorry the game disappoints you. After choosing where to place your seeds, for each turn you just choose which hole to empty first, then the turn is played automatically as you have no other choice to make : emptying your hand (and maybe taking seeds in other holes) just follows the game rules. If you cannot place your seeds yourself at the game beginning, or choose the hole to empty at the beginning of the game, whereas you should according to the settings, then there might be a bug, please contact me by mail. If you still have troubles using the game, feel free to contact me.

What a beautiful traditional game

I never knew this game could be her on this app. It’s absolutely amazing you need to think hard to play it and it also good for maths.

The game is great but..

Thanks to developers of this game!! I think It’d be more fun with sound effects.
