If only it would not cheat – Skat HD Review

This app rates 5 stars for playability, flexibility, and precise adherence to rules - all rules but one: it cheats, without qualms, and consistently. For example, if you play "null" and hold a nine without the seven and eight of that suit, and if the app is honest, then you have a 50% chance that the seven and eight are not both in the hand of either player. If they are never in the same hand but always distributed, that is proof that the app cheats. It also cheats in other ways, it will give itself 7, 8, or even more trumps ( out of 11 ) with disproportionate frequency. Fear not - it gives you chances to get the better of it. For example, it plays "ramsch" very poorly, failing to rid itself of "losers" early in play. It makes up for that by playing "null" brilliantly, as if it could see all three hands ( it almost certainly does - meaning it cheats in that way, too). Despite these severe flaws, you can have fun playing this app. Just recognize that you are playing a weakly playing cheater - you will not be disappointed in that. Goetzkuno.
