So want to like this game.
II really want to like this game. It has good graphics and a nice clean play. However it is so frustrating. How can you get dealt hand after hand after hand of fail? You can only play the losing hands you are repeatedly dealt. Just became boring after a while. Is it an AI dealing issue?
Fun game
This is a fun game. I wish it had a couple options, one to look at the previous hands, and a notification showing what the partner card is, as it flashes up briefly on the screen and if you aren’t looking you don’t know. The help also has some blank graphics, so the scoring values don’t show up on my phone. It is also pretty slow graphically with unnecessary spinning cards. It would also be nice if a player has the rest of the tricks that it would just lay the cards down and end the hand.

computer needs work
the player decision making on this app is pretty bad. the pickers sometimes have no real chance of winning and while that is fine for a player. a computer should not be doing this to others.
plus it seems the picker and partner, seem to have an unfair card advantage.
then today. i was partner, we had the first 4 tricks. i had the trick, picker on the end and he took the trick and came back with fail…

Overall good
Overall good. Biggest complaints are the AI picking for no reason often times in front of me. Second complaint is there is not an Alone button if you pick and don’t have the Jack of Diamonds. Can’t tell you how many times my tournaments would have changed or I could have gone alone. Trump tight with 5 of the top 8 cards and don’t have the jack of diamonds and am bringing an AI along for a free ride and sharing points. It’s also always the one that’s in the points lead. Otherwise, no other real issues.

Scarce on Trump
This is a fun game to learn. However, it would be more fun if the human player received more trump. I’ve been playing daily for weeks and have rarely gotten enough trump to be able to pick the blinds. I usually get from 1-3 trump and they usually are not high trump. It gets to be sort of boring after awhile. I’d like to win once in awhile like the computer players do. I might have to search for another sheepshead game.

Pretty good
The good:
*It keeps you on your toes and helps learn good defensive play.
*The user interface is decent
The bad:
*Like a few other folks, I seldom get a hand that is worth picking up the blind. The other players nearly always get the better hand. I almost never get a solo hand.
*Sometimes the other player’s play is horrible.
*The app sometimes thinks we’re playing called 10 even when I specified called Ace.
*I count trump, and I’d almost swear the app sometimes comes up with an extra queen.

Sheepshead
In the three handed game the AI almost always buries aces. That should never be don unless you’re trump heavy or have most of that suit. Also, non-pickers shouldn’t lead trump so often into the picker. Otherwise, it’s a very good game.
Could be better
This has a pretty good screen view, better than the others. Fairly easy to see who picks the blind, scoring is seamless. My issue is that the dealing seems skewed to the game. I mostly play in the tournament mode. After I was ‘hooked’ by winning a tourney or two, I played over 100 without even breaking the top two players. Very frustrating also to have the game pick the blind with a crap hand then call you for partner. Not as fun as I’d like it to be…

Sheepshead
I love the game but I would change one thing if someone picks and doesn’t get a trick I would penalize the picker only.
Close but…
Close to real play but quite a few goofs. Opponent will lead back trump, won’t smear and other errors. Doesn’t show partner or suit chosen. Guess a three star was a little generous.
