I love this game in general, but I would like a better AI partner. Sometimes it plays illogical Also would like to have an option of 14 cards with a 1 card kitty. And multiplayer would enhance the game. Still, good for what it is. Brings back times playing with family

Best rook game u can choose ur own rules there r a couple of issues... you are playing all bots whoever developed the game made ur partner play 4 the other team by pulling trumps 4 them and not holding trumps 2 the end

It feels like its set up to cheat. It's you, a partner that doesn't know what the rules are, and the opponents. It's obvious that the opponents know each other's cards. It's like playing against an opponent that has half the deck to choose from. It became so frustrating. I love a good challenge, and I absolutely don't feel like I HAVE to win, but I want a chance to play fairly. Could have been great. Edit. The AI knows when you are out of Trumps, and what their "partner" has in their hand.

Partner plays terribly. Throwing the blackbird on opponents 1, when he has other trump cards. No one would do this is real play. Never, ever throwing a point to me on an opponent's loser card... only terrible players do this. The opponent's coding seems quality... partner's coding is maddening.

All you can play is the computer, and I downloaded and played 10 rounds and not on were the cards' delt with even a chance to win....piss poor free game that is rigged to make you lose. Low cards of every suit always delt.
