I have not used an Android device in about 10 years. I have acquired an Android tablet that should work. Can someone post detailed instructions on how to install the Android versions of the apps?

1. On your tablet's browser visit the game download page
2. Click the Android icon and download the .apk installer file
3. Once the download is complete run the .apk installer file (you should be able to do this in the browser itself once the download is complete)
4. Install the game
5. Run the game from the icon that should have been placed with all the apps

Two things to watch for on Android:
-You may need to turn on a setting to allow installation of apps from outside of the Google Play store (the exact procedure varies by device and may use different wording, but usually it can be found in the Settings -> Security area)
-The minimum screen resolution needed is 1920x1080 ; older tablets and even some still sold today may only support 1280x800

It might be the screen resolution. I tried all of the above things and it has installed. It will open the app but crashes as soon as i click 18+. i am trying uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. Quick search on Amazon 90% seem to be under 1080p. Maybe it works better with phones than tablets.

Yeah, that tablet doesn't meet more than a few requirements. Resolution is 1280x800, RAM is only 1 GB and it doesn't run Android proper. It uses a stripped down version called 'Android Go'. Pretty much any modern Android smartphone in the last... 5+ years or even more would run circles around something with specs like this.

Hopefully you got it for free or almost nothing!

And sadly most of the Android tablets on Amazon, even up to $100 had similar specs.
