The new card game that Google Doole rolled out is very engaging and simple. Players clear different stages of the game of the lunar cycle to score points. With each step, users are challenged on their knowledge of the moon's phases. After successfully moving across the phases and outplaying the moon itself might even reward players with special surprises.
