Have played for years until you stopped the team challenges. Resources are hard to come by without the rewards from the challenges.
★★★★★Rhonda Kisting· Jun 22, 2025
I love this game! Easy to play. Learn how to build a town, grow crops, get others to help you to make a community.

It's nice game. But I have a glitch problem. I picked up all at Ruby's City and when I go back I get message to pick up again. It's nothing to pick up, and I can't go back. I need to restart every time.

I started playing this game years ago. I built up my town so much that they ran out of new things for me to buy. When I got a new phone, my town was lost and could not be retrieved. Recently, I tried to play the game again, but it's not the same. You don't have bundle discounts to get good deals on gold, axes, etc. It takes 24hrs to get a few axes and spin the wheel that mostly lands on wood. At this rate, it'll take 20 yrs to build up my town again. Not worth it. Uninstalling.

Alot of my buildings are just black squares on the map kinda annoying. Other than that I enjoy it

Fun game but the biggest flaw is that it's too hard to get pickaxes, and you need them for almost everything, so it's the biggest problem with the game
