Love It! Looking forward to expansion packs! (5 stars)
This game is perfect for family fun! The function is totally intuitive – a simple shake and your game begins. The features of the game are well thought out and the sound fx are engaging without being annoying. You (and your friends, and your kids) will be glad you made this purchase! Bonus: This is one of those simple apps that you will want to pull out in those "look what my phone can do" moments! So great!
