"The Game" is the digital single player version of the popular card game, that was nominated in 2015 for the german "Spiel des Jahres" (Game of the Year).

Tolles Spiel,super Zeitvertreib!!
A fun enough numbered card game. Will add at least two more stars when the ability to listen to outside audio is added. That is a MUST for a game like this.
This is a good game, but it definitely needs an "Undo" button. As is, the UI is quite difficult when it comes to picking cards...accidentally placing the wrong card on the deck means "thats it." There is no forgiveness. Also, it needs an "End Game?" confirmation...I have accidentally tapped the "X" in the upper right corner a few times and the game just ends...no saving or anything. This really stinks when Im near the bottom of the deck!
I have yet to finish a game because I accidently close the app or quit before finishing. Frustrating.
The latest update fixed my only 2 problems with the game, no undo actions for accidental card placement, and no ability to save your game. Maybe now Ill get some competition over at the Leaderboards!! (Snakehawk)
