Wonderful! You can tell the developers are absolutely on top of their game. Super slick with lovely graphical touches. I really appreciate the lack of microtransactions and other pay to play tricks. The only drawback currently is that you do have to wait for other online people to make their move, and sometimes that can take ages. The rescue helicopter idea is great though to help solve that problem. Suggestion: allow players to view their won/lost/games-played statistics.

This app just doesn't stop giving! I assumed it would just be a basic codenames but there is so much it provides! You have achievements, medals, single player challenges, different game styles such as minesweeper and mirror mode, mini games like find the pug, leveling up and other reward schemes. The only downside is the games can be slow, it is designed that way similar to board game arena where you have to wait for others to take their turn. Fantastic app!

I love the board game and the app doesn't disappoint either. There are various tasks to ease you into the app and and enough to keep you engaged. The only thing that I'm finding that is letting it down are the players that purposely stall the game and then drop out because they don't want to lose. Fantastic app version of the game let down by the odd player.
