Been playing this game for over 10years and I like the off line and online option with in my same user name(don't need 2 accounts) and I like off line because to learn better It has a "undo" button so I can go back during current game and see how it would change if I had played a different card! I like option of competitive vs friendly online game. I like option to start my own table and that i can pasword lock it so only friends/family can join. I like that I can unlock table to play strangers!

This app is GARBAGE. The dealing is all setup up and winners are predetermined before game. Also, they pair you with lower rated players to make it even instead of choosing randomly or even by skill level. And BEWARE I just lost the last 7 games in a row (after being at 100) to the opponents having double Aces around and back to back to back double runs. RIGGED. I don't care what they say it's RIGGED. And the app GARBAGE

It can take up to 12 minutes or more to play ONE single hand, THEN if you quit your rating goes down. It's a tactic used by players to wait until thier play clock goes down every play so that you quit and they get rank and you don't. Otherwise a good app, very fun and very correct. Didn't like how a player reported me for saying absolutely nothing inappropriate and was still blocked for a day. Wish they would look into these things

Game cheats when playing against computer generated opponents? Pretty sure it does. I know random chance is a part of playing the next card hoping to get to your partner, but every time?? I've been playing this game a long time and the last few months, the opposing team gets through me... Every. Single. Time. Not a chance in hades that is random. Over it.

Finally deleted the game after playing for two years. The partner AI is terrible. It fights you for the bid without a straight or aces. It plays well other wise. The dealer is also stacked against you. The opponents hands have unrealistically high melds for whole games several games in a row. I got to the point of preferring not playing at all to being frustrated.

This game would be fun if it wasn't tilted so much in favor of the AI, which consistently gets a better hand than you and your partner. Don't believe me? Start a game, hit the pause button and start a new game. Do this until you get a GOOD hand. It will take a while. If you get a lead, don't expect to keep it long. You might go three hands without taking 20 tricks. Your partner will make bids he can't hit, and you will end up with hands that have two total aces for several hands row.

Pretty well done and the newer version has improved some things. Seems my partner always wants to play the suit one of our opponents is trumping though. Stupid play unless that's all you have. I've also noted some stupid bidding. 60 means I want to take the bid and my partner should pass unless they have a really strong hand. I've seen it used to just say I have a lot of meld. I've also had my partner bud me up more than they should without a good enough hand.

Can't lie, I'm impressed so far. Takes me back to those tables on slab. Been a minute since i played, but I started remembering pretty quick. The program is solid. The AI partner u get isn't bad, (he passes meld and runs trump.) The AI game is a nice way to warm up the old skillset if you haven't played in awhile. Rules and scoring are legit. Once your warmed up, time to check out the online feature and really test your skills.

my biggest gripe is that it seems unfinished. here's a few "quirks" which I think can be improved: 1. suit sorting. there are 2 rows of cards displayed. sometimes one suit is split on the 2 rows so you don't see all the cards of one suit together. 2. the bid and pass button are the same color and pass button is larger than bid. more than once I have accidentally passed when I should have bid. at least make "pass" red and "bid" green. 3. when playing online, give each robot a unique name.

Couple issues with this game. The cards for one. The computer AI always seem to get a ton of meld points or A's and my teams gets nothing.(way too often) Also Ur teammate AI will keep out bidding u and won't have enough meld to cover their bid. Multiple times I've had big leads and my "partner" will over bid on back to back hands and lose. It's a very frustrating game. Fix the algorithm and might be good. It's fast paced and visually good. Should be redeal if someone gets zero Aces.

Excellent game, graphics clear, no weird stuff, can create own room for playing with friends, you choose the rules, or go to the regular rooms. I still don't care for the importance of the stars/crowns. Sure idont wanna play rookies. The game should be able to analyze and form teams as fair as possible.The meld seems varied and stats are excellent for self analysis&self improvement.

Free and VERY well designed app. no annoying frills or graphics. lots of settings to choose from. you can play offline or online. Its hard to find.a good.solid game these days - all the sponsored games have and sell your personal information - lots of childish graphics.and side games. Not thos one. it's just the game.

The game is addictive.... The rating system is above average... Most players could use some lessons.... I would like to make a suggestion -- After reading many reviews I noticed a complaint regarding what happens when a person reaches 100 and has nowhere to go but down... Since 100 is the ultimate goal for most players why not set up a tournament between all of the 100's. Only people who have achieved the goal would be able to play in the tournament to determine the top players. It could be designed as an elimination with multiple games being played and winners advancing... Of course not being tech savvy I have no idea how difficult something like that could be, but it would be fun. And I might add, it would finally prove that I was the BEST!!!

The AI cheats. I played a hand with 2 AI opponents. The opponent that didn't get the bid had 2 aces in 2 suits and 1 in each of the others. Somehow the AI opponent that won the bid passed their partner the 2 aces the partner needed, including an ace in the chosen trump suit. You don't do that unless you know what your partner has and needs. This is a common occurrence. The AI teammates will always pass cards in a way that will maximize their meld.

It's great to be able to change the settings and scoring. BUT, the computer teams always seem to get most of the aces or meld, and when they don't, you get a bunch of aces and no meld. Also your computer partner always bids against you and never has much meld. I played one game where I kept bidding to try to win and I eventually gave up after 11 straight hands of less than 20 meld! When the game is on the line you never get a good hand.

The game plays well, and the stats screen is nice. When playing with three computer players, your partner is the dumbest one at the table, and it's not even close. 'Rick' doesn't pick up on your first slough card. When you declare trump, he often passes cards that are no help while holding cards that would. Also, Martha, the player on your right will pass by you with 90% success. If you want better ratings from skilled players, improve the partner's AI and stop tipping my hand to Martha.

This game is so 1sided. It's not fun when only 1 sided is getting all the meld and taking all the bids. If u guys make it an even bidding competition the game would be more fun n challenging. Also u guys really need to get rid of the eye that allow players to view previous plays. This would allow for faster game play n again better competition. But of course, yall not going to do either of the 2. This was a waste of time sending this reveiw.
