User Reviews

Matatu offers a fun, nostalgic Ugandan card game with solid core rules, and is now available on iOS. However, it suffers from stability problems in online play, a lack of in-app tutorials, and missing social/customization features such as changing your name and Game Center support. Improving multiplayer stability, adding in-app instructions, and expanding customization/AI options would likely raise satisfaction and widen the audience.

Pros

Fun and relaxing Ugandan card game with nostalgic appeal
Solid core rules and gameplay that are easy to pick up once learned
Positive reception and evident developer effort
Now available on iOS, expanding accessibility

Cons

Stability issues in online multiplayer: frequent hangs, pauses, and unfinished games
Lack of in-app tutorials or clear rule explanations, making learning difficult
Missing customization and social features: inability to change player name, no Game Center integration, and limited AI/options

Recent reviews

The rules and game play are there but everything is so small. I am playing on a iPhone max pro and the cars are very small and hard to see. It would also be nice if they sorted by either suit or type automatically for you. This would make the game a 4. To get it to 5 you just need to add that and the selection of how many AI to play against. Back in UG we often play 6 or 7 people but even 4 would nice when using jokers and 3s.
