Rummy 500 17+

I love this game and find it to be addictive. Highly recommended! But I have a couple of thoughts on it. The UI is a little confusing. Swapping between online and single should have a more defined button rather than lumping it in among all the other buttons. Also, I can’t figure out to play a game to 500 despite the game being called Rummy 500. All games online are to 250. I would also like an improvement in the timing system. Playing online can be frustrating because opponents have a long time to take their turn and some do. I thought I would alleviate this by earning enough coins to purchase the Speed Rummy package. It turns out Speed Rummy wasn’t a version with more limited turn time but instead is a game in which you play against the AI for one turn instead of a point total. I would also love to see the 4 person online version. I earned enough coins for the 4 person version only to discover it’s against AI. Despite these issues I still whole heartedly recommend this game. I suggest buying a coin package early to rid the game of the ads. I understand why they’re there but the ads almost make the game unplayable. For a reasonable 2.99 they were gone.

I really like the game, and the commercial set up isn’t bad at all... you periodically have to watch a commercial before starting a new game or can choose to watch one for extra experience points. HOWEVER... My only problem is that I do not feel that cards to the computer are always random. I realize any combination of cards could be dealt; however, too frequently the computer has extraordinary runs or the card I lay down is exactly what it needs. At the same time, as a recipient, I seem to have similar experiences where what I’m dealt is fantastic and every card that comes up is golden. Another scenario is that virtually every card I receive is horrible, and every card the computer receives is golden. The problem is that these unusual runs both for the computer or for me happen more than in real life, enough so that it creates a downward spiral of frustration at times - and in turn because of the periodic inequity of the game, the the ads become frustrating. Just when I think I want to purchase the game to remove the ads, the inequities pop up again, and I think, “Why bother?” I realize a deck of cards is limited, but I think the randomization of cards can and should be improved. So, because there aren’t a lot of 500 Rummy options, and I really like 50” Rummy, I put up with it and keep playing. It’s not all bad. It has runs if fairness where I win some and lose some.

Very fair and challenging. I see some complaining the game is predictable. No kidding! It's a card game that uses 52 cards! Patterns are bound to show up whether you play with a computer OR a human. It is not in usual for cards YOU don't need at the moment to be needed by your opponent so YEAH, the bot is going to pick up a lot of your discards, THE SAME AS ANY GOOD HUMAN PLAYER WOULD. I swear most, if not all, bad reviews of this app are coming from people with little to no experience playing Rummy 500 with real people and a real deck. I've played for over fifty years (since the age of five) and this game is no more predictable than the real thing. It's also just as fair as playing real people. Well worth downloading.
