________________________________________
Euchre is a four player game similar to Hearts and Spades in which you and a computer partner play against two computer opponents to get tricks.
Dirty Clubs is a form of Buck Euchre where each player plays and bids alone unless a club is turned up, then all players must play and get a trick.
________________________________________
Note: Bidding window issues were solved years ago in version 1.61. Rest assured bidding works fine.
And as of Version 2.0 everything is updated and a completely new experience. Everything that is, except old reviews. Consider a new review or rating to bury the past if you like the game.

True to the real game

The game plays fairly realistically to real-time live play. There is no “ no Trump” option. That’s a bit of a hindrance. There are a million “ local” variations for this game, and it’s not going to have your fav, get over it. For my older eye’s the suit, deck & cards could have larger icons. Additionally the color contrasts could be sharper. This would really improve the overall enjoyment of the game. Hopefully developer will get the hint. Otherwise, it’s a fun game & worth price of admission.
Yay! Dirty Clubs

Used to play Dirty Clubs with my folks. Happy to find an online version. Wish there was a 3 handed option.
Not too bad

The program runs like it should. No crashes, and the AI seems pretty decent. Have not noticed any foolish moves (yet). My only complaints are (1) I wish it would group (or let me group) the cards better, and (2) sometimes the color scheme makes it difficult to see everything
A bit pricey for the features, but a good example of Euchre

Gameplay is good, AI seems pretty good (if not too good sometimes, they get a lot of good cards). Developers, please add a game settings feature! Allow user to be able to change player names, card decks, table colors, game speed, etc. Stats are BADLY needed.
No support, not as advertised.

There's no end to this game, every hand it says I win (even if I don't), and contrary to the info given in the app store, there is no settings screen. Also, can't get to the support web site for this app. Did they just take my money and run???
Get the basics right

Plays Euchre fine, however it does not keep score correctly, has no statistics, and always says that Chip and I won, even when we didn't win the hand. Please fix!
Lame

Sorry, can't get past the dreadful interface. Colors are ugly, way too much real estate is consumed by that dumb metal border, cards are too tiny, too much tapping required to play. AI might be great but I'll never know, just can't do this one.
A good start, needs improvements

One of the better euchre games out there for iphone and ipod touch. The AI is sophisticated and customizable. and the price remains reasonable. It has potential to be a great game once some improvements are put into place. There is currently no "fast play" option to skip unnecessary hands. If I have already won the hand 3 tricks to 1, there is no need to play the fifth trick-- it is irrelevant. Similarly if the opposing team has already won the first three tricks and "euchred" the team who called it, the last two can be skipped entirely. This is the way people play in real life so it is frustrating when the game forces you to play through hands that have no effect on the game itself. Would be improved greatly with a redone interface-- small aspects of the game, such as the icon to show who is dealing the hand, are not easily noticed on first glance. You can only play landscape-- no "portrait" orientation even though it could easily fit. There are built in "pauses" between each person's action-- it takes each computer player a few seconds to decide if they should pass or order it up...this could be sped up considerably, as it is currently much slower than most human players. It is also completely unnecessary to force people to tap the screen to acknowledge that the game is continuing. And while you can customize colors, there is currently no way to move off of the "metal" aesthetic and use more classic card sets that are, frankly, more attractive.
Room for improvement

But overall good game. I have been waiting for a euchre game to replace the crap web app that I had to use forever. My only few suggestions to the developers is this: 1. Be able to organize cards in your hand, I do this in the real game and helps out a lot. 2. You know how when you play a card the cards rearrange and automatically adjust to the left. Well I think it would be better if the cards don't move and there was a space left where the card was just played from. It gets confusing when you play a card from the left side and the cards adjust and the space is on the right. I always think I played the wrong card and have to stop and think. 3. Options menu for difficulty control 4. Maybe instead of changing the colors in the interface just allow for different colors to be chosen. There was an opensource euchre game for windows awhile back that was brutally simple but VERY nice. Maybe if more things resembled that game. All in all great app. Thanks to the developers!
