Bad play

betsteel

Returning woodworker is correct. Really bad play with constant horrible moves. Player on end could have taken trick 4 with a 10spades when 9spades was high with the picker and he threw off. Next trick that player threw out the 10spades. Too frustrating to keep playing.

Not Realistic

Either you have all the trump or one 9 of diamonds. You can play for 10 minutes and never see more than two trump in your hand then the next 5 minutes you and the partner have every trump in the deck. Stupid!

Lots of quirks

Watched the called suit go around on Called Ace without the ace being played. A 10 toon the trick. Player with the called ace then lead called ace (didn’t win the previous trick). Would be nice to see the logic built out for the bots like it is for the human player. Also lots of questionable plays by the opponents. They should assume perfect knowledge of cards played and minimal knowledge of unplayed cards. But there needs to be situational awareness. If trump is lead to start a game it should be assumed to be the partner if not the person who picked. Seemingly wrong cards are routinely played.

Play often makes no sense

In Jack of Diamonds partner games I am frequently wondering about why my digital partner has picked. Pickers lose a phenomenal amount of the time. Game shouldn’t be set up to discourage picking.

Fun but lots of stacked hands

I've been playing sheepshead more than half my life and I can't say I've EVER seen so many lopsided card distribution. Funny how when it's 2 computer players paired up 1) they have the majority of the trump in 95% of the games; 2) the partner "just happens" to have the queen of clubs; 3) my partners have terrible hands 75% of the time. Fun but some serious rigging of hands in favor of the computer. EDIT: After further games downgrading rating. To many games where the computer is just GIVEN the perfect partner. Computer seems to find a completely LOADED partner to often to be pure "coincidence". Game needs MUCH better randomization of cards. Loading the computer picker's & partner's hands is called cheating. EDIT 2: Last time I checked rigging hands was called CHEATING. Just saying...

Could be better

I agree with the reviewer that said he felt the deck was stacked. The same “people” keep getting the best hands. I almost never have a decent hand and many times have only one trump. If I have a few trump, then my fail is sevens and eights. The deals should at least favor the player a little more. Thinking about looking for a more equitable game!

Very well done

Thank you Derek for developing an app that is fun to play. I’ve only been playing for two days and it is already one of my favorite game apps. At times, a bit questionable on the card laid by the computer players, but you get that in the real game too. Thanks again for using your talent for our enjoyment.
