I have probably played 10,000 games on your app. It is getting very smart and very hard to beat. Congratulations- I can only imagine the AI behind it all. My complaint is this: far too often, my hand looks very much like the previous hand. State X should be independent of state y. I realize your stats show randomness, but I have a strong sense that it ain’t quite so
Best Skat game ever

I finally found the perfect Skat game for the iPod. Well, almost perfect. A few small changes would make Skat for iPad a 5 star card game. I am not going to try to get into the rules for Skat as it is a rather complicated trick taking card game with many rules variations. One of the things I would appreciate seeing in the game is an explanation of the rules being used. There is an option to change some of the rules, but as far as I can tell the base rules aren't described anywhere. This is fine for people already intimately familiar with Skat, but not as good for those of us who could use a little reminder. One of the things that you will notice after a few hands is that the adorable AI mice will start speaking to you in German. I actually like this, since most of the German is translated into English in little text bubbles. However, a few times it says things which aren't translated (sometimes when I lead an Ace on the first trick, for example) and I would appreciate having everything translated. Additionally elements of the scorecard are left untranslated and there is no option to use a standard US deck with Q and J instead of D and B. I got used to it, but the option would be nice and I think it would help non-German players, although I realize this is probably not most if the publisher's target audience. Gameplay, AI, and the audiovisual effects are great. The only glitch I have found is that when the AI players are bidding against each other, the spoken words lag way behind the on screen text bubbles. Not a big deal, but detracts from the otherwise polished feel of the game. If you like Skat, there aren't many choices out there. Luckily, Skat for iPad is a winner. With a few minor fixes, it will be a champion.
Great game, strong AI

Lots of flexibility with rule variations. AI only sometimes goofs. All in all an excellent purchase for me with many hours and hours of game play.
Rules are in German

The rules/how to play (? Button) are in German! So, I have no idea how to play!! Please convert to English!
Pretty good

Sometimes some strange plays. My main complaint (as has already been stated): you need to switch the whole iPad to German to get the game in German. Also, I'd like a choice of voices. Otherwise a good option.
Super

Having played Skat for many years, not always finding a third partner in the US, this is awesome. Yes, there are some minor glitches as commentator number 5 mentioned, but so what. Nothing is perfect and perfect is boring anyways. Ever since I installed this on our iPad, my (Chinese) girlfriend (who beats the sh... Out of me in Skat) and I play this for hours at a time on long distance flights. It is also good practice. The Saxon accent of the mice is very funny. Congratulations, I hope you folks make a lot of money with this.
Great fun

Skat works good ans smart and has a lot of different options. If there is no friend in your surrounding who plays Skat, this App helps you great. The omly problem: the iPad doesn't offer beer next to the cards...
