Shady AI
TommyBrough
The one star is only because it won't allow a no-star rating. This is pathetically rigged garbage. I am not totally convinced that even when I get first draw the AI doesn't still manipulate what I get. I rarely get any good hands to work with, and the AI clearly knows what every player in the game has. It's ridiculous. Absurd. Fix it.
Winning percentage needed

You need to implement a winning percentage ranking. It is ridiculous that the guy that has the most single player wins, has more losses than wins!
Horrible! Rigged

This game is Texas 42 in name only. I've been playing 42 for decades. Luck plays a huge part in being successful. You can't win when one side virtually gets key doubles at least seven times out of ten! East - West will be dealt the trump 1, trump 2, trump 3 around seven of ten deals! Trump 4 is maybe six of ten times! By trump I mean the double of these suits. If I were playing craps or poker and this happened, it would be shades of the old West. Gun smoke, etc. The only way to get a barely even chance is to play the bones face up and base your bid accordingly. Too bad, graphics are nice. Setting player styles is barely useful. No in between settings and whatever I have tried so far doesn't seem to have any effect. North bids and plays horribly and with no consistency. Too bad since it claims to be developed by a Texas A&M Aggie, hence the maroon colors.
Best 42 App

Well designed and authentic to the real game. Competitive levels are nice. In other apps your partner is liable to miss nuances, but this app knows when to throw count and cover 10-counts. Haven't used the add-a-player feature yet.
Horrible

I just purchased this app, its hard to get through a game without the screen freezing! Plus hands are not placed randomly! I've played 42 for 60 years. Don't waste your money on this game!
Idiot Partner!

My partner is an idiot! The game is rigged against you. I want a new partner, or maybe I'll simply delete the app!

This is the only game I have on my iPad. Very enjoyable to play. I enjoy the bidding process, playing nello, and I like the way the score, the trumps, and the points earned are displayed. I sharpen my skills every time I play. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing 42 , nello, or splash.
Bidding terrible

My computer partner bid 35 in fours trump and did not even have double four or six four
AI will never work

The partners and opponents in single player don’t play realistically. They only lay the next available domino. I am not sure this can be overcome using IA, ever. Also after 50+ yrs of playing the game I don’t recall ever seeing so many: 4 trumps, no double Up to 3 trump options without the double in one hand! A double, no trumps This goes on and on. Hands do not appear to be delivered by random erray.
