My opponent seems to know what’s in my hand.
Update 11/23/2024:
After not using this app for quite a while I recently played this game again. It hasn’t gotten better. I’ve had multiple instances of my brain-dead partner trumping a hand I had already won. Again, grandpa would not have approved.

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Euchre. Thank you for your review. The AI uses an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation to determine the bids and plays. You may not see the same bid or play when you replay the hand since the simulation uses randomness. Roughly, it deals the unknown cards out and plays the hand to the end to get a result for each legal play. This is repeated many times and an average result for each play is calculated. The play with the best average result is chosen. Note: Levels 4+ use the random Monte Carlo Simulation for the plays. At this time, level 3 has human designed rules for the play, the play will be the same if you replay on level 3. I hope this explanation helps. Please contact us at support@neuralplay.com for additional details.
Good mechanics
There are lots of rule customization options, so you can definitely configure this game to your preferred house rules.
The problem with the game is the graphic layout and flow. You have to pause and read the info in the top corners in order to understand what’s going on. Trump calls are not obvious, and generally leads to misinterpretation on a regular basis if you’re only glancing quickly.

Ok…. But
One sided
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. The deals are not biased to any seat. By default the AI is quite aggressive at level 3. You can reduce the aggressiveness in Settings. Levels 1 and 2 also have a less aggressive AI. When you see a bad play, if possible, please send us a screenshot of Menu - Play Log when the hand is over to support@neuralplay.com. We are working on AI improvements.

Opponent calls trump
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. The AI is by default quite aggressive in calling trump. We use a Monte Carlo Simulation AI to determine when the AI call trump. We may have to reduce the default aggressiveness. Our default is the level 3 AI. You may play on level 1 or 2 for a less aggressive AI. You may also reduce the AI bidding aggressiveness in settings.
