Recent reviews

Super fun. In multiplayer at some point the person I’m playing with can’t play cards. Super lame in the middle of rounds to start over.

I found this randomly while searching for a new solo quick-play game that’s somewhat light, and very fun and engaging, for a work break. This is perfect for that. And you want to keep playing one more. I immediately paid the fair IAP to remove ads and support a good developer. This app is well made and I highly recommend it. Everything is smooth and plays well. Could use a tad less battery, but it’s not horrible. I do have a request though: Sometimes I don’t have time for a 4-round game. Would you consider adding a 1-round (“lightning”) option? I would play a lot more here and there if I could do one quick round. Or, alternatively, let it save mid-game if you close the app. But I think a 1-round option would solve that and be a fun option for those of us who paid for the premium version. Just an idea. Thank you, developer. This is very well done and enjoyable. I love the pirate theme. Very enjoyable gameplay here for a fair price!
