Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This game never seems to work right. There is no timer and players will not make moves for 20 minutes and there is nothing you can do about it since there is no timer. It is super annoying and makes it not fun to play.”
“I adore this game. But has virtually no community and no support by the devs. A huge shame since the gameplay is so fun if people do play.”
