Overall, the game's replayability is considered limited unless players take extended breaks, as familiarity with the cards can diminish the experience.

“The ability to buy packs with coins you earn in-game really makes the game more replayable.”
“So it doesn't have a lot of replayability unless you go a very long time without playing it and forget all the cards.”
“Honestly, trying to force players to pay for a game with such limited replayability means fewer people playing, which leads to lower ad views and lower income.”
“Version 4 was so much more playable.”
