A great time

There is excellence and there is ease and the. There is tradition. The capability of game to whip up the feeling of nostalgia and to represent the at home feeling and the coffee table with your grandparents all the while in the comfort of your own bed decades removed from the lovely time you spent learning the ropes of car players throughout communities in the country is not only found with this game but it is a Hallmark trip down memory lane. The game supersedes all expectations for a straightforward , this is how we do it manner of an established favorite and makes sure to limit the novelty of ad traffic and roar of short but annoying ways of distracting from the game itself. This is truly a one of a kind adventure down memory lane and gives me new excitement just the same on a daily basis. I recommend this game to anyone who wants a good time but doesn’t want to struggle mightily with the advents of the newer games that lake the substance of such well worn favorites as gin.

Horrible win ratio

Update: I received a response from the developer, which I don’t know if it will still be included at the end of this post. I guess I hit a nerve with the developer because the first line in their response back to me was condescending. I guess I shouldn’t expect an “absolutely perfect experience” for a free app. Many people have written similar things perhaps my comment on “not having a robust algorithm” didn’t sit well. Regardless, I have mentioned what I don’t like about it and those should be taken as improvements needed.

Original post: I agree with other reviewers that the game seems unbalanced in the win ratio the higher you go. Some have alluded to it being to get more ads in, but I just think it’s the developers not having a robust enough algorithm to keep track of cards played. There are times where you are not shown the winning hand or the losing hand of the computers just a score. There are also times I feel the same card has been drawn and discarded from the deck. I also don’t like that the game will suggest your discards or pressure you into passing or drawing a card if you take to long to make a decision. I feel if you don’t take the advice the next card drawn or played is on path to you losing. Still play the game in hopes that it will get better and it does keep your mind active though at times frustrated.

Great game if you enjoy losing the more you progress

Update: so I wrote the below review and I was ok with the loss ratio but the higher I go, the more I lose. And the 90% win rate the computer has in 3 hands or less is now about 99%. The 10 second ads are longer than my hands. And judging by their responses in other reviews, it’s not a valid problem for them but here’s a tip - if a lot of your complaints are about the same thing, then it’s obviously an issue, whether you want to believe it is or not. The fact that play time is about 25% and ads 75% is crazy. Really disappointed.

Original: First, I really enjoy playing games by Mobilityware - I have 5 that I regularly rotate through. They all have the same type of ads after each hand/round but they’re short and easily skipped and really aren’t an issue in the other games. I love this game; my problem is that the computer wins 90% of the games in 3 hands or less. I win 0% of the games in 3 hands or less. It’s extremely unbalanced. Several times, I’ve been at 95-99 points while the computer is at zero and yet somehow the computer manages to win. It’s incredibly frustrating - and it makes me feel like it’s just a way to quickly cycle through more ads because the rounds are so short. It’s obviously not enough to make me stop playing but is enough to take away a star. Thanks!
