Old reviews had me concerned but multiplayer with my wife is simple and flawless. Totally stable. Used for a while before writing this. Worth every cent (bought full version).

I have enjoyed this game and am happy that it is no available for mobile devices so I can play anywhere. The only issues I have with it is that the ‘undo’ option basically resets your turn by undoing every single move you have made. Most ‘undo’ options on a game simply undo a single move at a time. This becomes very frustrating when I’m playing against the AI and have maneuvered around several tiles in an effort to try and play as many of mine as possible during a turn and try to go back just a couple of steps only to have everything tile I have moved on the board and from my rack go back to the state it was in at the very beginning of my turn. They need to change the ‘undo’ option so that it only goes back one single move at a time or have two different ‘undo’ options where they keep the existing option that resets everything back and another one that goes back one step at a time. I have a version of this game I play on my PC that has the single undo that makes it so much easier. My only other complaint is that the speed in which it takes the AI to play their turn is very slow and should be much faster than this. I realize that some people may want the option to see each turn play out slowly but others like myself just want to get back to my turn so perhaps create an option in the settings that allows you to adjust the speed of AI turns so a user can set it to their preference. If these tweaks could be made to the game I feel it would make it so much better and would garner a 5 star rating from me.

So sad. I guess the implementation is fine, but what a tragically unfair and strange game. If you prefer games that have agency and meaning, avoid.
