Used to be great, now it's super buggy, crashes after every ad, ad after every game.

I started getting ads on it tonight, so am uninstalling it as I use games to take my mind AWAY from commerce, not to throw me back into it. Also, the way the "AI" plays against you has radically changed tact. So, am having it a swerve now. Uninsalling.

Recent update makes the screen difficult to read. Previous version was much clearer. Poor choice, my friends!

Ads are annoying, but you can just close out the app, reopen it and it'll resume. Merely an inconvenience.

Excellent version. 30 levels of difficulty. As the box used to say "a minute to learn, a lifetime to master". This is great and shows levels of play by computer that are mind-blowing!

I had this when I was younger and couldn't get past level 9. I just redownload and am now at level 15! There's up to 30 levels (of difficulty), and really good for practice because they're clues & undo button so u can learn along the way while practicing

Simple and relaxing to play. The perfect game, even for people (like me) who DON'T like to play video games AT ALL (Of course, regarding myself (who actually LOVES video games, but DOESN'T like to "waste too much time" playing them), THAT'S a LIE(!), but who on Earth really even CARES?!!!)!

I love/hate this game. I'm a decent strategy game player, but I am stuck on Level 11. Once in a while, I soundly defeat the computer at this level but, more often than not, I get my butt kicked. Fun and frustrating.

A recent update added more intrusive ads that cannot be bypassed. Worse, they're auto play videos. Absolutely awful. Update 2020:. Again with the obtrusive ads! Nothing worse than an auto play video! Update again: still with the auto play video ads I see. One star until these are gone forever.

I like it! When I used to beat my sister at this game, then she would beat me-...It seems like the game is faster than it should be and cheats that way without my being able to catch it!
