The guys move fast. But you can not see your resources power, to know when they will be ready. So you sit and wait. You can not buy more people when needed, only what is alloted. You can not delete when not needed.... Whomever did these just needs to do the extra and he will have the others beat.
It was a slow day/week/month for bigfish, so I bought this one and #II for the extra 99 cent....
Or I would not have purchased either...
Enjoy...

Fast playing, but, it doesn't say how, why or what you get from your rewards. I only made it half way through, and will wait until others say more about this game. It looks like someone thought it through, but forgot to relay the message.
Command an epic band of dwarven mercenaries in this richly detailed tower defense game!

When I can not get into a wonderful, hope-to-be game, then I give up. I made it about 5 mins. Tutorial bad, and I do not know how someone whom played the game this morning when it first came out has already finished it. It must be short, but I could not get past 1st stage.
I am sure this will be fine for some, but not me, and enjoy.
I don't recommend this game.

It was quite fun. Had to use the hint button, for it is a good HOS game. Mini's are fun also. Music is sound, which varies. Just because we have played a million of these does not make this one a bad one. In fact, it's graphics are quite clear...
I recommend this game!

A very good game. Hidden out here so we can not find it. You can play timed, relaxed, different game types. Fun scores to accomplish.
I recommend this game!
A wonderful story of the citizens of Joyville. Can you change their destiny? You will see – nothing is impossible.

I went into this with a negative attitude after reading the 1st nine reviews. I said, I will do the hour. Glad I did.
It is a timed solitaire game. You can go through the pile as many times as needed. No penalty. Cards are a good size.
You see one card up by the pile. But, after about 10 levels, you see two cards up by the pile, at a time. Then three cards up by the pile. Then I goofed, and my card had no pair in the pile, and I had the option to end game, and that was my final score, or to restart that level (keeping my now score) and trying again. What I noticed was that I was back to one card up (OUCH)... After five levels I got my 2nd card, and then my 3rd.
You get the same points for removing pairs on the board or a pair from your hand, when you have two or three cards face up by the pile. Which is nice. The total game lets you play many times and get a better score. I am buying this for it is a thinking game. No monsters to destroy my cards, no items to buy. Also, you get accumulated shuffles if you do not use them. Then continue to the next level.
Cards are an appropriate size, even for me. I enjoyed this hour trial, and I am buying it. Which will make a lot of people mad.
THIS GAME IS NOT LIKE "STRIKE SOLITAIRE", where you have the option to replay each level until you get 300. Because, when you do that, which I did, there is not reason to replay the game, for I can never do better...
And BF knows that I do not say I like a game, if I do not.
I recommend this game!

I found it quite boring, and you are playing against two robots, so there is no thinking.
Some may find this fun. Enjoy...
I don't recommend this game.

Man, read the first 3 reviews. Tried it and it was slower than ...., then I started figuring out what I was suppose to do, and if you do not finish in time, you can replay. AHHHHH...
It is a thinkin' game. Wish you could zoom out to see where I was, but, whoa-is-me, the thrid level took me over 5 hrs.
I have not played many of these types, but this was/is fun... Bring your brain with you.
Have fun all...
p.s. There are 5 levels encluding relax, no timer. I played normal... LOL
I recommend this game!

It goes as fast as you want. I made it through level 21 during the hour, which means 79 more to go. There is no time limit, and for the young or just those that want to relax and enjoy this is for you. It is colorful and cute, and you can buy what you want which goes to the board you are playing. It is a complete match three...
I will not be buying it, even at this good price, for I like a little more of a challenge.
I recommend this game!
