Comments on Sheepshead for Android

★★★★☆ Jesse Oresnik · Jul 25, 2022

Not bad, but a few rules missing: 1. Picker or partner can re-crack and/or re-blitz after a crack. 2. 4 Jacks = jack attack, same thing as a blitz. 3. 60-60 tie = round of doublers.

★★★★☆ Herman Wiersgalla · Jul 14, 2023

A good game but, the two black queens stick together too often.

★★★★★ Tim Williams · Sep 23, 2019

It's about as good as sleepyhead with AI can get. I would like one change, the AI partners *need* to have a rule to lead the queen of spades every time. Obviously there are lots of little mistakes they make because this game is complex, but that one is the easiest to fix and most obvious.

★★★★★ K Bu · Mar 13, 2021

Great way to play Sleepyhead on the go. Being able to replay a hand helps you learn strategies.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Aug 24, 2018

Computer players are terrible. There isn't even a little bit of common sense to the game play or strategy. Also, can go as much as fifty hands seeing no more than two trump. Very frustrating not fun

★☆☆☆☆ John Brinckman · Jun 24, 2021

The Program is NOT random. If you're leading in a Tournament, the other robot player partners will make plays that cause you to lose. Late in a game, the robots often times have no idea what to lead. Often times, the robot players purposefully throw away good trump tricks when they have smaller trump to toss. The Developer is either not a good Sleepyhead player... or he/she doesn't know how to program quality strategy. And there appear to be other non-random variables at play.

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Balmer · Aug 7, 2018

Game still sucks. When I can play through a number of "tournament style" games with leasters and not have a single pick hand, either I have horrible luck or the game play absolutely sucks dog ass!
