cool
I have to say I really like the cover art.
It made me laugh 🙂
My back already hurts… 🙂
Where have I seen this game before….
thats cool
Thank you for the tag +Scott Cramer That's really cool & very appropriate to the game of Twister. Thanks for including me in this post, Sir! 😎
Let me first admit that I wouldn't mind playing this game. But I wonder a bit. Isn't G+ for adults? Or did that restriction only exist in Beta? I can't imagine a bunch of kids using google plus and its hangouts ( won't allow my teenager to use the webcam ) but this seems to be Google's target audience.
Regardless, I like it, love the covet art and will probably end up buying one. Thanks for the tag. +Scott Cramer
