The game is very good for an AI game. I do think at least one upgrade to scoring would be helpful. Winning a game is worth 4 points. However, when you win a game by a large amount, there isn’t any benefit. I would suggest that if you win by more than 20 points, you should score additional points. If you win by 30, 4 points plus 1 for the extra 10 and so on. This way, you encourage risk in playing and therefore increase enjoyment. Conversely, if you get destroyed, you lose more than a point.

The game is true to hearts but the repetition of the AI is truly revealing and drains the fun. How about the player to your left has the queen of spades to dump on you 99% of the time you have A or K of spades. How about you are dealt 2 of clubs EVERY hold hand. How about every time you pass a low heart (to avoid a shoot the moon) the receiving player already has 6 or more hearts already? How about most times you void a suit, your pass player fills that suit. How about everytime time you void spades, you get A, K or both of spades on the pass. How about you have AK spades the player to your left never leads spades How about everytime you play a 5 of hearts the other players conveniently have the 2, 3 and 4 of hearts distributed to stick you with the lead continuously? Lots of sandwiching between players to and instead relinquishes the lead to the player to your right so the left player can drop the queen. Another stat impossibility - the queen of spades was held to the player on my left 14-16 times in a row (over 3 rounds)…..impossible (note: I didnt start counting right away). So weird, but as the game progressed it became unrealistic as these illogical card trends increased to a laughable point - I would always play a A,K of spades just to confirm the Q was to my left. And it is worth emphasizing, you are playing against 3 players that collude. Too bad really……untrustworthy game but fun if you accept these limitations.

I am addicted to this game! If I sit, I play! I found myself playing in the morning while having my coffee and I couldn’t stop playing. Now, I do not open the game on my phone until I have completed my daily exercises and tackled everything on my “To Do” list. After that, it’s game on!

I coincidentally happened to try out the non-Netflix version of this app just a few days before it was added to Netflix, and after several full games, was very suspicious that the AI would read the player’s cards and strategize accordingly, even having the opponents cooperate to back the player into a corner. With the ads in that version, I ultimately decided to uninstall it.Well, MobilityWare added a new version to Netflix’s lineup of games, and now that I’ve played several more full games in the Netflix version, I’m sure of two things—it’s the exact same AI, and it absolutely is reading your cards. Once you get past the very beginner ranks, the AI starts cheating outrageously. It’s not fun. I’m uninstalling this version, too.
