I just randomly looked at my recent apps and saw the game downloaded (preordered). This is my first time playing it so I'm hyped. Everyone talks about this as one of the most addicting games ever.

L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #6 L.Lawliet, Sep 26, 2024 Ah it's a bummer this game auto-starts with the orientation on the opposite side (bottom of the screen is to the right of the phone). It always feels uncomfortable to play on that side for me. My phone is in orientation lock 99% of the time, but ah well. The game already seems super high quality. The tap inputs feel very smooth and responsive. It's the little things. I just hope there's a good tutorial because I watched some livestreams in the middle and had no idea what was going on My only wish is that the game was made into portrait mode. But I understand that would take a ton of work so the opted not to. But addictive card games on the go in portrait are my favorite because they're so easy to pick up and play. Maybe one day.. elcrazy and sebgo like this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #7 ste86uk, Sep 26, 2024 It’ll be interesting to check this out since it seems very popular whenever I’ve seen anything about it. I don’t like poker or solitaire one bit but maybe the other elements will make the game better for me? I guess my AA sub is worth its money this month as I’d of been so torn about just buying it for the reasons above. elcrazy likes this. amusing Grace Well-Known Member Dec 23, 2008 1,685 8 38 Music, Muse, Magick Berlin, Germany #8 amusing Grace, Sep 26, 2024 Pity that progress is not shared between devices, sigh...

Progress still doesn´t seem to be synced. Edit: numbers on the cards could be a tad bigger on phones, so they are easier to read. BUT apart from these small issues this is a really well designed and very fun game. Looking forward to play some more. sebgo likes this. Talbs Well-Known Member May 1, 2011 2,616 377 83 #11 Talbs, Sep 28, 2024 I do not see an update that mentions anything about “syncs achievements”. That said, I have now tested it and the overall progress has synced between iPad and iPhone. (Not sure about run yet, but I think it doesn’t sync the actual run). I have seen on reddit that it’s best to close out of the app properly on the device you are ending your session on, such that the game is fully disconnect, and then you can startup on the second device. And from my experience that has worked in order to get overall progress sync (unlocks/collections).

They weren't unlocking for me at first, but next play through after updating unlocked achievements and syncing those across iPhone and iPad.

Will I regret using AA for it because I’m not sure I’ll be able to move progress from AA to this version in the future if it ever leaves AA. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,716 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #14 squarezero, Sep 28, 2024 I don’t know for sure if it applies to everything, but I started on AA by mistake and when I switched to the paid version, it skipped the tutorials as if i’d played before. sebgo likes this. sebgo Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2010 835 399 63 Male 95% leisure.

Somewhere in a town amidst the Amazon jungle. http://www.google.com #19 sebgo, Sep 29, 2024 We have quite similar stats (except for that insane high scoring hand of yours!), so it makes me wonder if I've played about the same. Total screen time for the game is almost 9 hours for me, but I've had several super short runs, too, so I think I've played 15~20 times. Hope the total runs stat is added to the list at some point. Love tracking that info. AltsKev and elcrazy like this. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #20 elcrazy, Sep 29, 2024 I think I have played 15-20. Maybe more. This game is incredible. It’s so addicting. Making the different combos is such a blast. So much to unlock and try out. It’s a game you will keep on your device and play forever. I heard it was amazing. I heard it was the most addictive game ever. But watching videos or reading about it did not give me that impression at all. It’s a game you really need to try for yourself. I keep thinking I cracked it and I will hit ante 8, but nope! I cannot beat 7th boss. Found so many fun and interesting cards though. Sometimes the combos remind me of scoring big ones in Luck be a Landlord. I look forward to unlocking more and seeing what happens when I eventually beat level 8 and beyond. Enjoy all!
