Great app (for an interesting game that's not super wel known), & free! No glitches, & plays quickly & smoothly. I do wish it had a Ravage City option, & the doubling/redoubling feature, but there are a bunch of variations for this game, so I can't hold it against them for not including every one (& it does have a Salad option), & it still gets a 5*.

Great app! It's not the exact form of the game as I learned it, & I would've liked a "Ravage City" option (but I like that there's a "salad" option), & I really think that the doubling/redoubling rules'd make the app better, etc., but it's a great app for an interesting, not super-well known game (w/ a ton of variations, so they couldn't have been expected to include 'em all). The play is quick & w/out any bugs, & it's good to have a way to practice when you don't have other players around.

I used to love this app and played it a lot, but I stopped playing for a while. When I came back to it, the option to set the experience level was gone, and now the computer only plays at beginner level. Now there is no challenge, and therefore no fun.
