The gameplay is spot-on! I love the animations and how the ship comes alive. There is plenty of gameplay and it's a pretty relaxing pastime. That is, until you realize that for every 30 minutes of play, 22 minutes of it are ads! Seriously, 3 out of 4 ads are 30-60 seconds running time, plus an additional 15 seconds (to decide?) and many have no early exit option. It's bearable the first day or so of play because the game itself is fun, but by day 3, despite my eagerness to start building my 3rd deck, I closed the game in frustration because the sad, emotionally manipulative game scenes in these ads being played on repeat every 2-3 minutes. I have no problem with ad rev games. Nothing is free and you get what you pay for. But if you're doing a cheery cruise game, why keep subjecting your customers to scenes of cold moms, sick kids, and conceiving old ladies? What is the agenda here? I feel the ads don't align with the gameplay. Not recommended simply because the ads sully the experience and in time, can affect ones perception of the game.
