Rarely is an update as awful across the board as the latest one Phase 10 made. As with hundred of others comments, I agree that the avatars are juvenile, the pace of play is glacial, the layout it harder to see, etc. However, for me the most egregious changes are the misses within the algorithm itself. For example, when a player is dealt a skip card, the default is to use it on the player in last place. Therefore even if someone is on phase 10 and has the potential to end the game, the skip will be used on a player looking to hit phase 7. This is ridiculous strategy, and perhaps acceptable on "easy," certainly not ever when playing the "hard" setting. The game became so frustrating from a strategic standpoint, that combined with the goofy look and annoying layout it is just too much. If theres no way to revert back to the old version, my Phase 10 days are over.
