Community Insight:
We played this game growing up but couldn't remember how to set it up.. Now we remember but it's so much better here!!! We don't forget what cards we have & need to keep peaking at them. Also, the wild King becomes the card it replaces – again no trying to remember 'what was that King?' Love it.
Try it if youre looking for a new card game to play.
Great game. Fast and fun. Good way to get rid of frustration. Be aware, You can get addicted.
Be careful this game is addictive. Lots of fun.
More strategy than we thought. Fun game.
We play the game constantly. If you start your hooked. Love playing it when in stand deer hunting.
Love it, love being able to play online with family.
We have been Playing this game for 70 years the old fashioned way with two decks of cards and our baby sitter. We play this every day now! Keeps our brain working and making logical decisions! Very well done, enjoyable, challenging, yet easy to play! We never get tired of it! Thank you! We play daily! Love it, love it, love it.
We like this game a lot! Our family always played this card game.
Played this game when we were younger. This brings back all the fun! Easy to use. Fun to play.
Best game ever. Used to play with our friends mom ( the card game).
Really enjoy the game. Minor improvements could be made, but all in all, a very solid program.
Love this game, especially spiteful level.
Love this game on our iPhone How about some special effects. More effects and color would be fun. Still love the game.
Love this game, play it on our phone and iPad.
Play alone or with friends best game, get it.
This game is so much fun. It is addictive.
A fun little time waster. Optional ads.
It took us awhile to learn how to play. The directions arent very clear. However, once we did catch on, the game has become quite enjoyable.
A great app for S&M, medium level is almost too easy and hard is tough.
Great game but the algorithm is dumb. It will play a card that will let you play off the draw pile even if it your last card.
Love the game. Not many ads to drive you nuts.
Fun, challenging, taxing at times, addictive and always want more.
Ive been playing this for years. Fun game.
We have always used spite and malice for many years and theyre the best.
This is addicting… And awesome.
Depends on playing Spite & Malice.
Fun to play. Makes you think and that is good for you.
We love this game. But why are there still ads when we paid to have them removed.
Love this! We play to to get us to sleep and switch our brain off everything else.
Great game. Fast and fun. Good way to get rid of frustration. Be aware, You can get addicted.
We remember playing this as a kid and still love this game. Reminds us of playing Flinch too.
This game we have played with cards since we were little with our grandma! She would be thrilled up see there is an app for a grandma game ! We had to delete and re add the game once as it totally froze but we love love this game.
Our grandmother and we used to play this game back in the days. We are glad we can now enjoy it on our phone. We got our friend addicted to it and now we constantly have multiple games going and play each out all throughout the day. Is now our nightly ritual before bed as well! It is a fun and relaxing way to wind down for the evening.
Great game. Played it for a couple of years now and never get tired of it.
Played this game many years ago and rediscovered it now. Good job, it's fun.
Love the game. Not many ads to drive you nuts.
We like that we can practice with the game and play our sister who lives 2000 miles away. Always smooth with no delays, no glitches, no crashing. Not like some other games that always replay the same Game. And the levels (easy, medium, hard) are accurate.
An early download that we continue to l play year after year! Updated 8/2025 as it is still true.
Love this game, play whenever we can.

Love this game! So sorry we cannot afford to upgrade. But love the highest free level.
We enjoy playing this game very much.
Our favorite card game whether on a tablet or with cards.
Love the version and the game! We're hooked.
Great game – just like we played with mamaw prior to shelling green beans :).
This game is quick and you have to think.
This is such a fun game! We play every evening to unwind before bed! Highly recommend.
Tons of fun. Love how it keeps you constantly paying attention. Hours of fun without the boredom.
