excellent implementation – Reiner Knizia's High Society Review

You need to hold down your Score to see other players scores and keep track of how many red bordered cards have been auctioned off. Wish you could play against other human players but hey for $3 it gives you a taste of how great this app is. Here is quick rules. - You bid on cards 1 through 10 and must bid at least $1 higher than previous bid. Highest bid wins card..others recoup their bids. - When bidding you can only append to your bid. - 3 misfortune cards (-5, 1/2 and thief which steals your lowest card or next card if don't have any currently) - When bidding on misfortune cards everyone loses whatever they've bid. First to pass takes card. - Game ends on fifth red bordered card (-5, 2X, 2X, 2X cards). - At end of game if you have lowest money amongst all players you can not win no matter your score. - Other players see who amongst them has highest fame points and wins. Tie breaker is decided on highest fame card. edit: I just play on iPad so never experienced crashes. Hopefully new update fixes it. I've seen a few times THIEF card taking HIGHEST luxury card when in fact it is supposed to take the LOWEST. For example an AI had 2,4,8,2X in his hand. He passed on thief and it took his 8 card. Definitely a major bug there. Other than that though works great. Still want hotseat support my number 1 request.
