Naija Whot – Card Game Review
Naija Whot is a Card game from Anthony Ezema, first launched in 14th January 2020.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 1,259+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Naija Whot Stand Out
Naija Whot is an exciting, classic and healthy card game for everyone. It is simple to play. Become a winner by finishing your cards before the beast in your palm. It keeps you comfort when it's needed and your mind focused when you are idle. The artificial intelligence keeps it challenging all the time.
HOW TO PLAY
To play Naija Whot is not difficult.
We have two decks: Market and Played decks.
When it is your turn, you must drop a card that is of same type(Image) or same number with the card played by your opponent. For instance, if your opponent drop Triangle11, you can either play a Triangle irrespective of the card number or you play any other card with same number(11). If you don't have any matching card to play, you must pick a card from the MARKET DECK.
A player who first finish his cards is declared winner.
Apart from the above scenario, we have some ACTION CARDS. The action cards are:
- Hold On = any card with number(1). It puts every player on hold thereby giving you opportunity to play again.
- Pick Two = any card with number(2). The next player can either defend the card or pick two cards from market deck.
- Pick Three = any card with number(5). The next player can either defend the card or pick three cards from market deck.
- General Market = any card with number(14). All the player except the player who dropped the card must pick one card from market deck.
- Suspension = any card with number(8). Suspends the next player.
- Crown = any card with number(20). Request any card of your choice.
The above configuration is by default. They can be changed to any number of your choice.
In TOURNAMENT, when game ends, cards are counted and a player with the highest number is eliminated.
CRITICAL RULE
Star card face value is always doubled during card counting. For examples:
- Star1 = 2
- Star2 = 4
- Star3 = 6
- Star4 = 8
- Star5 = 10
- Star7 = 14
-
Star8 = 16
TIP: Avoid keeping STAR cards during tournament.

Community Insight:
This is really good we mean you dont get flicked when playing with the A.we we only got that once and we really dont mind the ad since thay are very short amazing game.
We love the game! The multiplayer is a hot-mess! Does not work and when one can ya game going-game freezes-end of game. Please fix – TIA.
We cant reset the game and its so annoying we score up to 57 and we want to start with zero but not working.
We got the Whot pro, to make our life easier from the frustrations of this game, and still we cant accept or challenge on the app to play with friends online. Would you please kindly fix this issues? And also the game hangs a lot.
You people need to work on the multiplayer and the network is very frustrating,we hope your next post we can challenge each other on there.
Like come guys this issue has to be fixed Would rather get a boring game with good connection sever for multiplayer than this Huge on multiplayer yall.
You need to work on your multiplayer. Connection it slow.
The multiplayer network is really bad now .. Yall need to work on it and improve the game network.. Ive been playing for a long time now but recently the multiplayer game cant even go for 2 rounds of game .. Please work on the network and fix it .. BLESS.
Please d ads is so annoying it makes the game freeze at times please work on it.
We played with ZO and she keeps cheating, putting the wrong shape and number and the system is allowing. Thats CHEATING and it wasnt a one off, it kept happening over and over. So angry.
Our multiple dont connect at all And we dont even receive challenges code.
Whats the point of having multiplayer u can only play with the computers with no problem but when we try to challenge a real frnd or person it stops and counts down Ive waited and waited and tried with multiple phones and still no avail. Its been 2 years plus since this issue was suppose to be fixed but obviously not working still so its about time for us to delete this app!!! Ridiculous!!! And too many ads.
Y do they check with different numbers? They play with different cards.
Im deleting this game right now , Nigeria you still carry ur racism enter game How will the igbo one not able to lose . She must sha enter final . Its the Hausa one that lose most.
Theres tribalism in this game, why is the Yoruba man always losing in the tournament.
The rules of the game don't make sense. That's not how the rules of the actual game is.
Kindly fix this bug: The left side third player avatar.
We love what we saw its a wonderful are keep it up.
We love the game but we noticed some form of cheating while playing with the system. Its quite disgusting having a card and not playing it or the system doesnt go to market. If we keep noticing them Im gonna delete it and have our friends do same.
Too much ads and besides the game is rubbish when it comes to counting of cards it count rubbish.
You can never play with someone. The server is terrible and the connection never is successful. There are way too many ads in this app. Its ridiculous. We cant even enjoy it anymore. And no, our network is fine and the person Im playing doesnt have a problem with the network. Ive tried different phones too. How can we play multiplayer on other apps except this one?? You cant accept a challenge or challenge anyone, and there was an update 2 days ago. We give up sha. Either remove the app from the store or really give it the transformation it needs to make it a success.
Loving the improvements, the developer is really doing a great job, we Love how they dont mock and laugh at losers anymore.. Multiplayer still doesnt work but we cant be bothered cause we enjoy what works . Thank you ANTHONY.
How does one gets a point in Rank.
We love the game really we do. How do we get rid of the ads tho? Its freaking annoying. Also, creating and and accepting a challenge takes forever. Finally, how can we challenge or play with someone faraway? We mean can someone in Turkey play with someone in Nigeria.
Hello, Great job on bringing this game to ios, impressive work. Please implement a means to pay and remove ads completely. Do not make it a subscription model for the pro, or else, well just uninstall your app. Thank you, and great job.
Your server need a lot of work. People are finding it difficult to join the multiplayer. Aside that its a great app and we love it.
Please remove that option from there if you guys know you are still working on it. First it took 120 seconds to get a number and after sharing the number with a friend and taking forever to connect it ended up saying unable to establish connection. Please improve on your multiplayer else you will keep getting bad rating.
We mean why would you put multiplayer and join a public match when you know theres no way to play with anyone else but yourself. We tried for a good 30 minutes trying to connect one game with another to play multiplayer, didnt work. Join public match, didnt work. Tried to connect 5 other phones, none worked. We mean, we bought the game for ourselves and our sister when it first came out on Android. After multiple failed attempts to play multiplayer, we sent you a message and you replied you guys are working on it. That was a few years ago, well we think it was silly of us to expect anything more. Very disappointing, its only fun if you can play against others.
