“It is not bad, but one problem is that it makes a game a draw way too early. Another issue is that it freezes up in the middle of a game when the opponent is losing, thus preventing the game from being completed.”
“I would give it no stars because this game is frustrating and does not even play; it just freezes your phone when you are still starting. Please fix that problem because I didn't even get to play the game due to the freezing.”
