bought the new Duo expansion, and I'm disappointed to see it's only for online play and you cannot do Pass and Play for Duos (two humans playing on the same phone). That's mostly why I bought the expansion, I wish it was clearer what the expansion comes with. Otherwise the game is great, that just left a sour taste for me

Love it. Just wish Duet was part of it for my wife and I. They added it right after I made this review! It's perfect!

Dear player, we could not reply any sooner because guess what...we were really busy with preparing Duet for launch. We hope you are enjoying it with your wife right now. Wishing you many pleasant hours spent developing the agents careers of both of you. Best regards - your CGE team

Lots of low effort clues. Too many made up words with the suffix -ish.
