User Reviews

Pros: clear visuals and learning aids; quality AI and responsive support. Cons: repeated reports of non-random deals, flawed AI decisions, stability issues, update bugs, and ad interruptions. Overall, good for learning, but RNG and reliability problems limit long-term enjoyment.

Deals and hands often felt non-random/built to favor the computer (stacked hands).

Frequent crashes/freezes, especially in tournaments, plus occasional black screens.
Updates can introduce bugs or degrade gameplay.
Ads interrupt gameplay and can pull you out of a match.

When the picker does not take a trick, the bury does not count as points. Picker should be paying 6 per opponent, not 4

Hands are very often stacked. In a 10 game tournament it is common for 5-6 games to be no trick or no schneider. It happens all the time. In real games these hands happen on average less than 2 times in 10 hands. Just deal the cards randomly (like a real card game would) and play the game.
