    The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users expressing frustration over intrusive ads, even for those who have paid for content. Players feel that the presence of ads undermines their experience, particularly when they continue to appear after purchasing deck bundles or subscriptions meant to remove them. Overall, the game's monetization approach is seen as overly aggressive and focused on maximizing revenue at the expense of user enjoyment.

    • “Good game, no ads even though it's not premium. A lot of choices compared to other apps.”
    • “I will support you and pay for no ads, and I hope to see the glitches fixed in the near future!”
    • “I understand ads, as ads help fund the game and keep free decks for everyone. However, when I pay and buy a deck bundle, only to have forced ads in between every game, that's not acceptable.”
    • “Paid $6 for decks and it still shows obnoxious video ads between rounds.”
    • “Awful subscription policy, lots of ads, and a very unobvious menu to actually start a free game.”
  • humor
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players of all ages reporting that it elicits belly laughs and giggles.

    • “Way better than heads up, but occasionally freezes for a few seconds, repeats a lot, and the team score didn't properly show the winner.”

    Gameplay is hindered by a frustratingly small font size for individual words and overly sensitive mechanics for phone tilting, leading to a negative user experience that prompted some players to uninstall the game.

    • “The mechanics of tilting the phone to pass or say 'correct' are way too sensitive and don't work properly, which is really annoying, so I uninstalled the game.”
    • “The only issue is that the font for individual words during gameplay is too small.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the app are highly praised for their amazing design and variety of customization options, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game. Users appreciate the absence of ads and the ability to play anywhere without a Wi-Fi connection, making it a fun experience for friends and family.

    • “Great app, amazing graphic designs, various optional customizations, no annoying ads. You can play it anywhere you want because it does not require a Wi-Fi connection, and I always have so much fun playing this with friends or family because there's no winner or loser (at least in the way that we play), we just enjoy it together.”
