User Reviews

Users appreciate Blackbird for its customizable gameplay that mirrors the Rook card game with offline options. However, many express frustration with the AI, particularly the partner's poor and illogical plays, and opponents appearing to collude, leading to an unfair experience. Additionally, the app lacks multiplayer features, experiences bugs that corrupt custom settings or game flow, and seems under-maintained, with issues persisting despite requests for fixes and enhancements.

Pros

Allows customization of game rules and house rules, accommodating various ways of playing Rook.
Provides an enjoyable digital version of the Rook card game with familiar gameplay.
Offline play option is appreciated by users who want to play without internet.
Includes multiple game versions or modes, enhancing replayability.
Faithfully represents key aspects of Rook, including bidding and trick-taking mechanics.

Cons

AI partner behavior frequently criticized for making poor or illogical moves, negatively impacting gameplay.
Opponents appear to have knowledge of each other's hands, creating an unfair advantage and suspicion of cheating.
Lack of multiplayer feature, including online or local multiplayer options, limits social play enjoyment.
Bugs and glitches reported, such as scoring errors, illegal bids, and game crashes requiring data resets.
Limited updates and support leading to persistent issues and lack of incorporation of user feedback.

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.

Used to play Rook with friends and family - this game version (with some of my own rules) is as close to how we played! Love it! I love that there is the option for adding your own twists and character names. Yes, sometimes the AI plays a "stupid" move (like playing a 14 (second highest point card) on the oponent's 1 (Highest point excluding the Rook/BlackBird) even when the next turn they play a non-point card in the same color). But I thoroughly enjoy the game 😁. FYI- I like playing offline.
