I cannot think of one positive thing to say about this game. It is slow, slow, slow. You cannot queue tasks ahead of time and it has an annoying voice that says things like “No Way” if you try to. When you hover over a task to see how many resources you need to complete the task you have to be spot on or it does not give you the bubble with the required amounts. I would say trying to find the right spot is a time waster but you have plenty of time while you wait on your slo-mo natives to finish the task they are on and get back to the hut! I do not know if you can earn bonuses because I did not make it that far. I could only take so much before I exited the game. This could have been a cute game but it is way outdated. Strategy Games (gather and build games) should and do move so much quicker now than this game does which leads me to believe this is not a new release. Maybe for Big Fish but not for the game. I do not recommend not even for children.
I don't recommend this game.

Do you own Pretty Snails or Pretty Snails 2? If so you own this game. The concept is exactly the same, limited moves to remove a certain number of colored tiles or move items to the bottom of the board. Even the power ups are the same and are expensive. The story line is almost nonexistent. Nothing at the beginning and as far as I can tell they give you a few story boards after every 10 levels. I only went to level 20 before I quit. Unlike Pretty Snails there are no hidden objects to be found as you move through the levels but like most Match 3 Games the levels become harder as you progress. I own Pretty Snails and have never played to the end or had a desire to replay the game so a No Buy for me. If you own Pretty Snails skip this one and go back and play Pretty Snails again if not give it a try as you might like it but also try Pretty Snails before you buy as there is more of a story line in that game and has the added hidden objects along the way through the levels.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a gather and build game but no where near as fun as the Hercules series (same developer). I am not a fan of games where you have to build a sawmill get all the wood you may need then destroy the sawmill and build a market to get food. There is no regenerating of any of the sources like other gather and build games. This really puts me off. Once you have everything else done sitting around waiting on the houses to generate gold so you can buy food at the newly created market is not my cup of tea. I will pass on this game. Bring us a new TM with Hercules and The Gang, that I will buy.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the Gnomes Garden Games so was happy to see the Christmas Tale. I only gave it Fours Stars because for as far as I got in the Demo I really did not see much of anything new. The only new twist is when you are growing the trees sometimes it is a Christmas decoration that you grow instead of a tree. If you love the series then go for it but if you are looking for something different this is not it. I really like the series so I will get it especially with the buy one get one this weekend!
I recommend this game!

This is a plain straight forward Match 3. Nothing to build. Power ups to buy which are reasonably priced and you accumulate enough stars quickly to buy them. There is no lag that I have noticed. Just a fun old fashioned Match 3. Perfect for relaxing and not having to concentrate too hard. It is a buy for me I liked it.
I recommend this game!

Sorry, I will not play a level over and over because I run out of moves. Give us a choice as to the type of game play or lose sales. I make moves as fast as I see them not counting how many moves I am allowed to make. That takes all the fun out of it for me.

I have promised myself no more timed Mosaic Puzzles. They give you a ridiculous small amount of time to complete the puzzle which is down right frustrating for me. Only getting two stars each time drives me crazy. I like the Mosaic Puzzle Games and was thrilled to find Mosaic: Game of Gods II. No timer and it is set up to give you three stars, One for Using No Hints, One for Not Making a Mistake and One for completing the Level. Plus there is score multiplier so the faster you place the mosaic pieces the higher your score. There is also a Story Line with it. Reminds me in a way of the Games with the Penguins in enjoyment level and I own all of them. I will anxiously await more games like this. The no timer is a Win, Win for me! As always Demo for yourself, you may also love it!
I recommend this game!

I am not sure how this got to be on "One of the Top Games of 2016 List.I am also not sure what deck they are using but I had 7 Queens either showing or turning up as I removed one. How can you remove that many of the same card? There are no extra cards in the deck. That is the most of one I saw but it happened over and over with other numbers and 4 or 5 of the same card showing. A "No Buy" for me. Quite obviously the deck is stacked against you. Pun intended!
I don't recommend this game.

Sorry, I own all 4 of the Laruaville games that came before this one and was excited when I saw today's game. That quickly turned into "What have they done to this Game?". It is impossible to play because every time you make a play a bomb is created. There are bombs every where. You cannot make matches because all the bombs are in the way. Then you have to concentrate on making more bombs so you can get three in a row to clear them. Basically this game is matching the bombs so you can move on. Love the other games. This one "not so much". You may have a different opinion. Of course, as always, try the demo and decide for yourself. It's Free!
I don't recommend this game.
