### 2/5 — More Money?

*2023-01-03*

I own the physical version of this game and just bought it for 14$. I’m very disappointed to learn that only half of the characters are unlocked and Sirlin wants *another* $14 to unlock the rest! Screw that, what’s disappointment. I’d get a refund if I could based on that alone.

### 5/5 — Still good Al these years later

*2022-07-02*

Keep updating the app dudes! It’s awesome as it’s ever been.

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2021-10-31*

Somehow slow and no updates five years,don’t buy

### 5/5 — Simple to learn, hard to master

*2020-05-10*

This game has been on my iPhone for years, and it offers so much gameplay for the price I paid. Every so often I will get reminded of how deep and enjoyable the game is. It’s Rock Paper Scissors on the surface, but anyone who looks deeper will realise that’s it’s also about shaping the odds in your favour, and timing your plays.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2018-06-17, version 1.16*

Come join us at sirlingames.com.  There is almost always a tournament going there.

### 4/5 — たいへん面白いゲームです

*2017-06-16*

元のボードゲームが気になってたんですが、英語版しかなくなかなか手が出せないでいたところに、このアプリ版だと日本語が対応してる、とのことなので購入してみました。
評判通りの面白いシステムで友人と共に対戦を楽しんでます。

バグの報告ですが、キャラクター「ラム」で「ポーカーフラリッシュ」を行おうとするのですが、選択が出来ず、能力が他のキャラよりも少ない状態で戦うハメになります。

### 1/5 — great but read

*2016-12-07*

great game but devs no longer support this and online lobby is ghost town. amazing game, but prob best played local

### 5/5 — Great Mechanics, Great App Implementation

*2016-11-21*

I really enjoy Yomi, so playing it on the go is quite nice! It's awesome how people using the app version and others using Steam version can interact! More people should give this game a chance! If ye enjoyed the mindgames of Street Fighter or other fighting games in the past, and don't mind card games, this is something ye should really check out!!

### 5/5 — Absolut zu empfehlen!!!

*2016-10-19*

Das Kartenspiel Yomi wurde hier perfekt umgesetzt. Es ist super hilfreich und nützlich, um die Spielregeln und Abläufe zu verinnerlichen. Man kann sowohl offline gegen eine KI als auch online gegen echte Menschen spielen. 

Das Spiel ist komplett in deutsch übersetzt. Steht leider so nicht in der Beschreibung des Entwicklers.

### 4/5 — Loving the mechanics

*2016-06-28*

Very solid tactical gameplay. Can you please remove the weird scan lines in the tutorial?
