Finally, 5 handed on a Tablet!!! Great game. I wish you could see the other players and maybe have a variety of players to choose from with different skill levels. I, too, have been searching for a 5 handed computer /android game for years. THANK YOU!!!!!

A Wisconsin Favorite Sleepyhead is da best card game in da world don't you' know? I only wish the other four players would let me pick a bit more, but they always seem to get mitt fulls of trump! I'd like to see you add an option for "crap on your neighbor" where the picker would roll a die to determine their partner.
★★☆☆☆
99% of the time computer picker and/or partner have top 2 queens. Called ace walks 75% of time for computers. Computer picker will lead off suit knowing partner will have trump for the trick
★★☆☆☆
If you're a good player, you'll hate this game. The computer does not play
fair. Computers ace will walk much more often than yours. Computer (in the
last chair) will throw a small denomination card on your trick and then
drop an ace of the same suit on pickers trick the very next hand even
though he's not partner. It's pretty clear the computer knows who you are
and what cards are in your hand before they are played. It's a shame
because I've been looking for a good, fair sleepyhead game for a while.
Thought this was it. Nope!
