Rigged
The game is definitely rigged to get you to lose your coins in an effort to force you to purchase more. I recently showed my wife a game of three rounds and told her if I pull from the deck and use my draw card to replace an unturned card in my hand, the unturned card I replace it with will either be the same card I replaced it with or a -5 card. To her surprise, it was like that 100% of the time, an equation which is mathematically impossible. Further, it is like that EVERY GAME, including the live games. If you want to play a game that is frustratingly rigged to ensure you lose in an effort to get you to buy more coins, this is the game for you. A fun game to play with real cards, a rigged game of cheating to play on the app.The most offensively rigged game I've ever played
I love the card game and, like many on here, I saw the insert advertising the app. So I downloaded it last night. Played two multiplayer games and lost. No big deal, everybody loses from time to time. Played some more today and lost several more games in a row. This game is designed for you to lose. It becomes glaringly obvious after the first 4-5 games.
But (and what is really sinister about this app) the more you lose, the more money the developer makes. They will bleed you dry of your initial batch of coins by rigging every game for you to lose. They do this with the hope that they trigger some urge in you to win. They're hoping once you run out of coins you'll buy more coins for the chance to win. I'm really not sure how the developers sleep at night. They are greed personified. They've taken a great game and corrupted it to the point of unplayability.
I'll be reporting the app to Apple. It's not much, but there exists a non-zero chance that Apple sees my report and removes this app from the app store. And even if that chance gives the developer only a second of anxiety, it'll be worth it.Developer Response
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We would like to award you some coins to continue playing! Shoot us a message from our in-app support and we'll send them over. Tell them Jake sent you!Great game… At first
Just played this for the first time in real life and was super excited to find it as a game on my phone. You start out with quite a few coins however it cost 500 coins to play against real people.
At first this doesn’t seem a big deal, even though I wasn’t winning every game I won enough to boost my coins up quite a bit. Then, after the first day of playing, I have won zero games, even against AI. Meaning No more coins
The ad you can watch, to “earn” coins only gives you 100 coins and the free spin is only every 24 hours. That also only gives you a small amount of coins.
I understand you’re not gonna win every game, that is life and I honestly don’t mind losing. Keeps you humble. But to win zero games in 24 hours seems a little suspicious. It’s almost like they want you to run out of coins so you’ll spend money buying more. No thanks. I will probably delete this game as it’s no fun only being able to play against ai.Developer Response
The AI is too smart! We're working fixing it ASAP.
