Dinsun Review
Friday is a rare breed—a mobile game that actually respects your intelligence. It’s a brutal deck-builder where your greatest enemy is often yourself (or rather, Robinson's incompetence). The strategy is deep; you have to balance the need to thin your deck of 'stupid' cards with the health cost of doing so. It’s a game about making the best of a bad situation.
The app itself is a bit of a relic. The interface looks like it was designed in 2010 and hasn't been touched since. There are also some slight rule discrepancies from the physical board game that purists might find annoying. But if you can look past the utilitarian presentation, the core mechanics are some of the best in the genre. It's the perfect 'one more round' game for a commute.
