### 2/5 — Not half bad

*2026-06-29, version 1.7*

It’s not bad by. But getting bad hand after hand when the computer gets good ones. Also the scoring shouldn’t be you vs all of them. Scoring should be individual if you missed no parters are to be had.

The opponents are thick as pea soup. They almost never throw in big as dogs when they are supposed to. They will lay a trump first when not fill up on a 20 bid. 

It’s difficult to tell what trump is on black if you missed the banner. The spades and clubs look really close.  The only thing that helps is if you get a few trumps in hand then it moves it over for you

Also you can’t be called partner if you throw that card in on the first round.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2026-05-13, version 1.7*

Finally learned how to play and now I can get into 120’s rackets with my family at the cabin. 10/10

### 1/5 — Realy good love to play

*2026-05-13, version 1.7*

Really fun and well-made card game. The gameplay is smooth, easy to learn, and surprisingly addictive once you get into it. The AI is challenging enough to keep things interesting, and the app does a good job explaining the rules for new players. Great way to play 120s without needing four people around a table. Definitely worth downloading if you enjoy trick-taking card ga

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2026-05-13, version 1.7*

Finally found a good version of this.
