          Uhhhh… $2 doesn’t really dent my budget even as tight as it is. But I don’t like to spend money on apps because I’m too old and crotchety about apps not being free with an option to buy ad-free after you’ve played.

            I bought it in 2017 and have played it ~6 times since at 4-6 hours per play. Worth $2 imo.
