One of my favorites growing up so I already knew I'd love it. There's tutorial cuz it's nothing like the real game. My MAIN PROBLEM is a big problem: when you play online and bet your coins the app freezes while loading the game. Well you close the app & reopen it and you've LOSSED 50coins because it registered you "leaving" the game. It's great when you're on the receiving end! Extremely frustrating for your games played:won ratio, & your accumulation of coins. FIX THIS FAST!!!

game is pretty good, but the amount of ads shoved in your face is crazy. I pause the game? ad. I open return to the menu? ad. I restarted the match? ad. what's even the point of winning the chips? I can't find where to spend it and don't want to look because that would mean an ad every time I click an option. get a job 😭😭✌️🥀🥀

Great game. I haven't played in years and I love playing. What I don't love is forced ads, so I bought the remove ads bundle. Was only a couple bucks no big deal. Except I still get ads after every back click, just like before I bought the bundle. Not happy that I essentially wasted my money. Will be uninstalling and looking for a better version.

No support. The game itself is ok for what it is. Playing against CPU is easy to win on all but hard setting. I paid to get rid of ads, but still keep getting ads between games & any time I change screens. I would be fine with optional ads like if I want extra coins, but the rest need to be gone since I paid to remove them. When I tried to reach out to support by email, I get message that the address could not be found. & Finding that info to begin with took digging & was not easily available.

The game is glitchy - will kick you out for no reason in the middle of a game. This isn't a wifi issue. It happens everywhere I play the game. The game doesn't update - I still have Christmas Boards. People can "time out" if their losing and it doesn't penalize them for losing the game. No use for coins - I have 175K and have bought all the boards Is there a way to reset my score. I've played over 3,000 games but I have so many losses from getting kicked out of the game. Sometimes it will sit on the search for opponent screen for long periods of time, only to have you booted out of the game it finally starts. This is my "edited" review. 3 stars is generous.

Love the offline version of this game up to medium level. Hard level cheats. I have proof. The capture feature tends to skip if you are capturing in the first half of the game. I had 1 marble and moved one space that should have captured several of the opponent's marbles. Nothing happened. On the next move the computer managed to capture my largest grouping that would have been been protected if my capture had not been skipped.
