Call us Bob Seger, cause this week's challenge introduces some Night Moves- erm, no it's actually called KnightBlooms but the joke was right there so I went for it

ANYWAY- If you like chess, you're gonna love this one 💚

Happy October 🍂
A lot of playtesters asked what Primrows would play like on a full 9x9 sudoku board - here it is! I won't lie to you, the gameplay on this bad boy is INSANE 😂

Wooo, new #Primrows monthly challenge: Epic Primrows!

This is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing we put into the game 😅

In theory you can get over a thousand points on this challenge but I’ve never topped 300. Can you? Try at linktr.ee/tursiops

New #Primrows Weekly Challenge: Even Odds!

This one takes away the little bit of RNG assistance you get in quickplay mode. And yet I somehow still managed to get a prize garden on my second game 🤯

How well can you do? Try it here: linktr.ee/tursiops
