Community Insight:
Taking a break from traditional card and decided we wanted to try some Italian because who doesnt LOVE it! Anyways Im new and yet we can honestly say that its getting better each hand.
Your making a mistake with so many ads and stoping us from playing games. Dont buy stop ads, there are really bad ads on this saying dont buy. We were contacted by sams club that we are shut off from buying this ad situation. Let us play or we will not be able to continue playing our favorite games for many many years. Trisha.
Great game, play it all the time.
Ciao Antonio. Vorrei dire che questo app esattamente come Pinnacola!! Ai fatto un lavoro perfetto Translation in english: hai Antonio, we would like tuo saggio that this app si exactly like the real Pinnacola! You did a perfetto job.
It keeps telling us our team won, when it didnt.
Still trying to learn the game and when learned, the stars will probably go up to five.
