The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, simple, and addictive, with many users appreciating its fluid mechanics and user-friendly interface. However, some criticisms arise regarding the lack of depth, the presence of microtransactions that can affect gameplay balance, and the need for improvements in multiplayer options and offline play. Overall, while the game captures the essence of the original card game, it could benefit from additional features and refinements to enhance the overall experience.
- “The gameplay is fluid and I have so much fun.”
- “Gameplay is simple and intuitive, but leaves plenty of room for strategy.”
- “Great gameplay and makes for fast, addicting games with friends and strangers.”
- “The thing is that the gameplay is all there is; there are no achievements, no experience, no user profile with winning streaks and other funny data like times exploded, times using certain cards, etc. that may add something else and make the app more different than the deck game.”
- “Also, the decks that you have to pay for give players a ridiculous advantage that makes gameplay too easy for them and gameplay too hard for people who don't pay for decks.”
- “Gameplay is too easy at the moment.”

The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the presence of numerous in-app purchases despite having already paid for the game. While some appreciate the reasonable pricing of additional content like avatars and card decks, others feel that the game should either be free with these purchases or include all content upfront. Overall, the lack of ads is a positive aspect, but the prevalence of microtransactions has led to perceptions of the game as a cash grab.
- “Single player mode does not require internet, and in-game purchases are just extra decks or avatars, not anything that is basically required to get anywhere in the game, unlike so many other mobile games.”
- “In-app purchases include differently skinned cards and avatar packs which are reasonably priced.”
- “Well worth the in-app purchases to make the game more fun.”
- “Just incredibly annoyed at the amount of microtransactions in a game that I already had to pay for.”
- “I already bought the game for $2, that means I own the game now, but for some reason, one of the first things I see are in-app purchases and many of them. It just seems kind of greedy to want people to buy in-app purchases after already buying the game. If I buy something, I expect to receive what I purchased, not half of what I purchased.”
- “This game is riddled with microtransactions.”

Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it highly enjoyable with numerous unlockable content and fun for multiplayer sessions, others feel it diminishes quickly due to limited core packs, repetitive gameplay, and a lack of long-term engagement features like leaderboards or stats saving.

- “Fun game for friends, very replayable.”

- “The actual game is great fun, but unfortunately, the insanely limited core pack really doesn't give an awful lot of room for replayability.”
- “The only downside is there is no reward for winning against strangers, so the replay value on this app is a bit low. Otherwise, very well done.”
