Featured Review:
"Simple, Clean, & Great Fun For All Ages!
This is a fantastic gem of an app boasting a collection of light strategy games most people have never heard of! The AI comes with multiple automatic adjusting levels of difficulty (which gets very challenging!) the whole interface is simple, clean, and smooth, and of course the game allows pass and play with a friend! If you enjoy board games such as checkers and chess but are looking for something more with more unique tastes then this is the app for you! It is perfect for children and adults and for adults to play with their children! 5 solid stars! Don't hesitate to purchase this app! It is easy to tell that it was lovingly handmade; but that is certainly a good thing! Fantastic job developer! This is better output then a large majority of the big professional marketing app companies who could really care less about the overall quality of their app as long as it sells well. I've spent hundreds of dollars on App Store games but this app really stands apart! In short, I am having so much fun with this app and that is what matters most! I love how the games are themed such as the hunting dogs with the goal of cornering the fox! It adds great variety and interest to the actual gameplay itself!"
