Nearly perfect – Succession - Rack-O style game Review

Let me start by saying I really (really) like this game. I love Rack-O, and Succession is a wonderful version of the game. When playing with a friend, the game is at its best. I’d like to give this game 5 stars, but I can’t because playing against the computer is not really playing against the computer (it’s playing solitaire against yourself). When you play against the computer, the “computer” simply makes random choices for a random number of turns. The computer is not actually playing against you. How do I know? Not only does the computer not show you its cards when it “wins,” I had the computer win after playing a “60.” Why is this odd? We were playing where a win condition included having to have two runs of three. The computer a 60 and declared victory. However, I had 58 in my play field. It was impossible to go out on a 60. So, while you will not improve your game by building skills to deal with the other player’s gameplay when playing against the computer, Succession is still fun and engaging. Playing solitaire (where you have a random number of turns to win) is still a lot of fun. I highly recommend this game. If the AI is actually coded to play the game, I will change my rating to 5 stars.
