Update: Can you please fix a bug that's causing my "partner" to give points to the opponents when it's not necessary. It seems that just started recently. Thank you. I love the game. Older review: Been waiting for this game. I love it. The app is so easy and I like that it has 2 versions. Update: Its now 5/2021 and STILL love this card game. Please do one for Hearts. 😊 Maelrch 2, 2024 So... love this game but the the bug is still on going so I suppose there are no updates anymore.
Awesome game for Rook. It is easily customizable to different versions depending on how you play. The only thing is I wish you could change the difficulty of the computers. Sometimes my computer partner makes incredibly bad bids. Also I've recently had some weird glitches recently too. For example I got dealt 2 Green 10s.
Decent Rook Substitute. Partner AI needs a lot of tweeking, strategy is odd and sometimes not good. For example, it plays the rook out of turn like a new player would and after several games it doesn't improve or learn. Opposing team plays well though. Outside this, the game allows customizing the rules so I can play tournament rules instead of Kentucky Discard (bidder leads). One thing I would ask for is for 2-4 player or possibly online play with game invite. Playing AI is ok but gets old.
Lowered by one star because of no changes. I love playing this, but I wish a few things would be added: multiplayer (the Apple version has this), option to view one or more cards in nest while bidding, computer bidding aggressiveness setting, option to allow partner to call trumps when you win the bid for extra points tacked on to bid. If it had a few of these, I'd rate 5 stars. Nothing is changing with this game. Rating will go down as I'm asked to rate, but get no feedback on my suggestions.
Can you please have the computer respond intelligently? Example: Opponent leads with high rook. My partner puts Trump 1. The next hand my partner plays a low trump! Very frustrating! Fix the part if you and your partner have the remaining Trump, so your partner doesn't run the other (who has the bid) out of Trump!
