I don’t like when my partner has the ace of spades but will bid nil

Response from developer

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Spades. Thank you for your review. We are working on improvements. We have not seen a nil bid with an ace of spades in the standard spades variation. We will look for this and work on a fix. If you see this again, please send a screen shot to support@neuralplay.com.

Offensive adds

The adds depict violence and very negative views of women. I don’t know who you think your audience is, but it’s not me. Dumping game.

Hmm.

The bots don’t know how to cover partner’s nil or defeat opponents’ nils. Their bag control is weak. And the scoreboard is redundantly busy. Otherwise, not a bad game of spades.

Thank you for your review. We are working on improvements. Our most recent version has some AI improvements.

Don’t let the App name fool you

AI, maybe smarter than a rock, but not by much. My partner makes the most asinine moves.

Thank you for your review. Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation based AI to determine the plays. The AI plays pretty well, but does make some surprising plays. The level 3 AI is a rule-based AI that plays more human like however, does not play as well as levels 4+ on the average. We are working on improvements.

Needs Stats

I like this game a lot. Pretty fast moving. But it needs to have a way to save one’s statistics. Otherwise I’d have rated it 5 stars.

AI Plays Ridiculously, and Ads Are LOUD

You’d think the AI would be set to play at least somewhat like a human...but no. Random cards thrown at random times. AI has the Ace of hearts on a 12 bid? AI will probably throw the 10 of hearts instead. Don’t expect your AI to cover a nil!

Also, the ads are hella loud and you have to search for the volume button to mute. Why not have silent ads so one could play in public (on a plane or his or at the DMV) without disturbing others? How am I supposed to play during boring work meetings with your LOUD ADS????

Thank you for your review. The AI on level 3 uses human based rules. The AI will play more human like than the more advance levels 4+. Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation based AI to determine the plays. The AI will play better than the AI on level 3 on average, however it does make some odd plays. We are working on improvements. We are working on improving the ad based experience. We also offer an in-app purchase to remove ads.

Didn’t expect it!

I always thought spades were used for digging in the garden. This app showed me how wrong I was. Turns out spades is a card game with a dog gone tough AI. Fun and recommended.
