Really fun game so far, with a bunch of extra modes to keep things interesting. Edit: Now it feels like there are enough players to keep games going a bit faster. However I would still appreciate the following: * AI games for when there's noone available for your specific preferred playstyle & mode. * VIP modes in Pass & Play (not just for online friends)

We tried the AI, but trust us, the experience was not good enough. We recommend starting more games at once or playing daily cases and daily spymaster challenges. They are designed to play when you don't want to wait for others. Speaking of VIP modes in Pass&Play, the game is still developing, so we consider that. Thank you for advice.

A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

The gameplay is incredibly slow. From the point that you spend 15 seconds making your word associations, it's 3-4 minutes before you get another turn. It's so boring. The whole concept of assassins, missions, opponents, and operatives does not make any sense and doesn't add anything to the game; it just slows it down. If you have a quick mind, this game is not for you. On the plus side, there are no ads.

Hello, Thank you for the feedback. The game is asynchronous, which means people can take up to 4 days to play. The idea is to be playing multiple games at the same time, we recommend anywhere up from 5 games running at all times to have enough turns. Also there is a single player content in Daily Challenges. We hope this helps. Kind regards CGE
