It's a simple and easy to understand game initially but there seems to be quite a bit of complexity in the explosions wich would add depth as you learn more of the strategy.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I was only playing by myself but I had a few surprises where the losing colour came right back and won in only a few turns.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Only thing it's missing is a &quot;replay&quot; button once somebody wins.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>:)"},{"author_name":"littleball","author_uid":"14756","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:54pm","epoch":1367239740,"text":"Thanks for the feedback. The game can turn around very quickly, and that's part of the fun ( frustration ).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you want to play a new game you can just click back on the 'Menu', then on 'New Game'"},{"author_name":"AnnaGavaldaKedavra","author_uid":"17388","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 7:25pm","epoch":1367263200,"text":"I can only try the 2 player version. It's not really fun cause the first player seems to have a big advantage. But i'm sur it's fun with more player. I'll try it as soon as i can.
