Leave a Review Euchre *
Don’t waste your money
This game is rigged to favor the bots you play against. My partner made such ridiculous moves such as calling up trump with nothing more than a 10 and a queen and going alone with weak hands that I renamed it idiot. The player next to mine always seemed to have the next highest card. And the worse is having the bots go alone constantly. Of times my idiot partner would do that and then lose. I didn’t buy the game to watch the bots play. The bots always get the better hands and I was constantly getting all 9s and 10s. So much so that I took a deck of cards and replicated the deals to see just how random the dealing was in this game. It isn’t. I go to frustrated that I deleted the game. This company already has my money, but at least I don’t have a poorly made game on my phone anymore.Show lessPlayertriv
Can anybody make a good euchre game??
I haven’t found one euchre app that has a truly random deal - as dealer especially, I would say after thousands of hands most apps punish the human too much. I estimate 90% of the time I have 1 trump or less on my deals. The only reason I decided to pay for this game (free version is unplayable w constant ads) is because even with my awful cards the AI get euchred ALL the time, consistently calling trump w 2 in their hand quite often only winning 1 trick. Fewer misdeals is nice, but AI also will lay down the right to trump an ace on the first trick then lead w a 10 of trump. Just really bad AI design.
As a waster of time, if you pay for it, this one works just cuz the hands are quick.Show lessYaboo5415
Not statistically correct
I love euchre but this game consistently gives my opponent and the player to my right significantly more chances to go it alone while naming trump thus getting 4 points very often while the player to my left and I rarely are given this opportunity. Though I have complained numerous times about this, nothing is ever changed. The person writing the algorithm for this game is mathematically challenged when it comes to the true randomness of the cards dealt and has not taken the time to look at the statistics of the game. I can win often because of the cards my opponent is dealt but it is rare that I get the great hands he does. It does not make for a fun game to play.Show lessHorribleawfulterrible
Definitely Rigged
This game is 100% rigged and needs to be fixed. I have seen my computer partner order up “trump” with just a queen and a nine of the trump suit. Needless to say we lost the hand. I have also seen him go alone with trump where he used his jack to take the first hand on a non trump suit played by our opponents instead of his lowest trump card. Then on the next play since he had already wasted his jack, he threw his king which was taken by the sole trump card, which was an ace, that our opponent had. This cost him shooting the moon. Both of these plays by my computer partner are moves not even the dumbest human would have made. And these are only a couple of recent examples. Which means it is clearly being done on purpose costing us points and games.Show lessMike3414
Can anybody make a good euchre game??
Tried most versions and they all stink. Usually they only do one thing well. This game I finally paid for (the constant ads make it impossible to play free) is good for this one reason - lotsa euchres cuz the AI is TERRIBLE at calling trump. Like most games u get awful cards as the human but its balanced out. The paid for version then is fast paced game, misdeals are rare, higher than average scoring. Whenever you’re dealing tho, 95 times out of 100 u can’t pick it up its part of the game that u can’t deal yourself trump.
Omg had to add this - the next game after I posted this review, I won with 5 euchres not lying. First time I’ve ever heard of that. So yea, game isn’t realistic but it can set records lol.Show lessTerrible app
I think the developers don’t even know how to play Euchre. My partner Jeremy actually play well and understands the game. But Barbara is a complete idiot on how she is programmed and Michael isn’t far behind. Both of them name trump on anything like lone left with no aces. When you are second to last to play and it’s your partners trick with an ace, you don’t Trump it with the right Bauer. Other times it’s their partners trick that they trumped and Barbara will put Trump on it too even though she could lay off. Obviously there are different ways to play but there always things you never do and makes me think they don’t know how to play. I wanted a Euchre app to play competitive games. This isn’t it.Show lessmill1963
Predictable
If I could give this zero stars I would. You definitely haven’t updated this game. It’s the same piece of crap it always has been. This game is so predictable. The bots seem to win two out of every three hands. One bit gets both bowers or both bots get the bowers and the trump ace. If your partner or either bot takes all the tricks they get four points but if you take all the tricks you get two points. Someone needs to redesign this appShow lessjwp9302
Computer Partner is Terrible
There is nothing more frustrating when playing Euchre than a partner that plays dumb. Despite a good interface and a nice flow to the game, I deleted it off of my iPad after 5 games.
My computer partner continuously went alone, when it didn’t have the cards for it. It would go alone if it had just the right and an Ace, but no other trump.
The straw came when my computer partner called an alone hand in Spades. It had the Left and King, and led the round with a 10 of diamonds. If my real-life partner did that, I would either spend time teaching them the game, or find a new partner. Since I can’t do either of those with my computer partner, I deleted the game. It was infuriating. A computer partner shouldn’t make stupid mistakes.Show lessFletchbFletch
Frustrating at Times
I agree with a prior review about it being rigged. Lots about this app bothers me. Like the first card I play 80% of the time is trumped by the opponent to my left. Also (2) go it alone occasions consecutively by the opponents in the same suite. Your partner going alone and plays the lowest trump card first, almost ensuring that your team loses the chance for (4) points. Or going alone and losing every play of the hand? What the heck??? Or your bot partner calling the trump and has only (1) non-bower trump!!!
I am going to try another app. I get too frustrated at times with this one.Show lessBuzzkill428
Suggested Updates
To be more realistic to the game of euchre, I submit the following suggestions:
Don’t have a robo player call trump when it has only 1 or 2 low trump cards. That’s unrealistic.
When a robo player is the last to play on a trick, and where it will place a trump card, the LOWEST trump card to take the trick should be played (not a higher trump card that could later be used to take a trick).Show lessCRBBWB
