This game is fun, kind of. More than that it is addictive, but not because it is fun. It is addictive in the way gambling is addictive. It is a high dopamine trigger. So if you struggle with impulsivity or maybe have a bit of an addictive personality, I’d hesitate to play this game. The ONLY way to get anywhere in this game or to make it fun is to pay for energy. And everything is priced low enough or appears to be such a good deal that before you know it, you’ve spent way more than you realized or intended to. They have a lot of side game opportunities within the game itself, but the only way to actually get anywhere in those games is to “bet high” but the only way to be able to do that is to pay for enough energy to make high bets. And even then you’re lucky if you “win” something other than coins. These side games would be more fun if you were able to build up more than 50 energy bolts over several hours. It is literally set up to go nowhere unless you pay. I honestly regret having downloaded the game or wish I had deleted it shortly after realizing that it wasn’t what it was presented to be on the ad I saw, and when I realized that it was going to cost money to be any bit worthwhile to play. I’m embarrassed to say that I am out way more than I’d ever spend on a game (which usually is next to nothing). Good luck to you.

I enjoy this game. There is a lot of variety in the gameplay between different actions and side challenges that it doesn’t feel old after playing for awhile. While it is easier to advance with more energy in the tank, and investing real dollars helps with that, the daily quests do provide enough energy to get rolling every day without spending money! The paid packages available are also a good range and unlock multiple perks which offer more chances for big wins. Not every day will be a lucky one playing this game, but when on a roll, resources build up quick and the gameplay can be quite exciting! I do feel that the card collecting aspect of the game will end up becoming to challenging. There are hundreds of card packs and as I unlock more, I get new cards much less frequently. There is a trading program that helps with this - but I wish it wasn’t facebook specific and was instead game center or app specific. That’s my one complaint! I also enjoy the art of the game, very visually pleasing. Fun game and I do recommend it whether you’re able to invest money in or not!

First I would like to start off with saying until today I enjoyed playing this game. This is the second time I have played it, (the first being a few years ago.) Then I started again a few months ago under a guest account. I was at level 76 and had advance to quite a lot of gems, coins, piñata, shovels ext. I was 2 more “presents” away from receiving 600k lighting bolts and had 5 minutes to spare before the clock ran out. Being that at the time I had already used up all of my, watch an ad to receive more bolts and really wanted that 600k bolts I decided to link the game to my Facebook account so that I could get the 50 extra bolts in hopes of receiving the 2 more presents I needed to win the 600k bolts I had work so hard to get. Unfortunately after doing so the game then deleted EVERYTHING I had worked so hard for except two things. It had advanced me to level 105 and gave me back all the animals I had from when I had played 3 years ago. Everything else was gone, all of my coins, gems, shovels, everything. Had I of known at the time it would take everything else away I never would of linked the accounts. Needless to say I am rather disappointed and will no longer be playing and deleting my app.
