Community Insight:
We found this randomly while searching for a new solo quick-play game thats somewhat light, and very fun and engaging, for a work break. This is perfect for that. And you want to keep playing one more. We immediately paid the fair IAP to remove ads and support a good developer. This app is well made and we highly recommend it. Everything is smooth and plays well. Could use a tad less battery, but its not horrible. We do have a request though: Sometimes we dont have time for a 4-round game. Would you consider adding a 1-round (lightning) option? We would play a lot more here and there if we could do one quick round. Or, alternatively, let it save mid-game if you close the app. But we think a 1-round option would solve that and be a fun option for those of us who paid for the premium version. Just an idea. Thank you, developer. This is very well done and enjoyable. We love the pirate theme. Very enjoyable gameplay here for a fair price.
This game is so fun and just what we were looking for! We think its a bit too easy though and would be happy to have different difficulty levels.
Love winding down with this game after a long day, or killing time between jobs. The new graphics are fun but we kind of wish there was a way to flip back to the old graphical style. Keep up the good work. We ever gonna get a multiplayer version.
Swab The Deck is so fun!! It took only a couple minutes to learn and play! Quick paced and fun! Great idea and great game.
We LOVE THIS GAME! It is missing one huge aspect of playing with friends. We saw by another review that this was in the works two years ago. Please tell us this is coming soon we want to play with our friends.
This game is fun and really addicting.
Its a super fast and easy game. Once you get to insane though, it gets intense! We dont think our fingers and eyes have ever moved this fast in one sitting.
So fun!!! Similar feel to Dutch Blitz, and the pirate theme just makes it that much better! Graphics are stellar, and all of the details are so well done. Cant wait for the play with friends option to launch.
Its not Dutch blitz, but it is, and we love it.
We really like the concept of this game but having to tap three times every time you want new cards seems ridiculous to us and the reason enough to delete :-(.
