AI needs work!
Sanhedrin
First of all, as far as the core of Thirteen goes, they definitely hit a home run with setting the many rules and variations of the game into one coherent options page. This let's you beautifully play that game the same way you used to in high school no matter where that was. That said, the AI is on one of the most RIDICULOUS scripts I have ever seen! First: They work collectively to make you loose which, while challenging, is incredibly aggravating as you watch your Two of Diamonds get Chop'd by Computer 1 when Computer 2 just played the Two of Hearts and had gotten off clean... Furthermore: They have a very obnoxious tendency to "play high" meaning, for anyone who knows the game, that they, if looking at your pair of 3's, will sooner throw a pair of Q's than a pair of 6's, every time... And this gets incredibly aggravating when Computer 1 suicides his hand into yours in in this manner and then you have to pass while Computers 3 & 4 have a little party on the field and get rid of all their cards... Finally: The Difficulty switch does nothing. All it changes is how "often" the computer makes an error for you to exploit, it does not benefit you in anyway. If I was playing against an amateur opponent, he would not know to stop my doubles burst by playing his highest double, yet the "Easy" AI has this complex rhythmically learned skill scripted. Over all: It just leaves no room for player comfort in the midst of three very challenging opponents who are unitedly Kamikazee'ing their hand into yourself playing at high skill levels... Also: for the traditionalist players- The hands dealt are very Casino Royale style, if you remember the movie... It can be very aggravating when you lay down that bomb only to realize that not one, but two other computers have one also and the third computer has a four card chop... Very dramatic yet will never happen in a real game, get a better dealing system! To Fix: Make the AI have a "selfish" system, make them want to win rather than make me loose. I am considered a champ at my college yet I still can't best a 5 game reign on easy, it's getting to the point where I will only play a hand or two before these nuances become to much and I quit. For less crazed players; it's a great rendition of a really fun game! Let's pray to the maker that they will either fix the AI or add a multiplayer, or please both!
Best app ever!

Im a truck driver and when im sitting in a warehouse, and the forklift is running 54,000 lbs of paper rolls into my trailer, I play this game. I often find myself yelling when a bomb is played and people look at me lol.
I love the app BUT

The rules are so funny. Pls fix it! 1. Even though the player passed put the same suit cards, other can follow it without using the same suit cards. 2. Four same cards CAN NOT chop any cards but a 2 or double 2 cards. Thank you!!
Pretty bad for a paid app

Looks awful, I would suggest a remodeling of app interface and the randomization of cards is a flawed formula someone always has double or triple 2s or aces which doesn't really represent a real game. If this were at least $0.99 I would recommend but $3 is stupid for this garbage.
Poor for Price

The game itself is fine, but for $2.99 the layout and design could be improved much more. Also, the touch screen gestures do not seem to work extremely well and can be irritating. Needs to be improved in future updates soon!
