42 domino

Good except it will not let my iPhone 13 log out unless I shut my phone down, hope you fix this bug.

Amazing game

I have recently started to play 42 and this game has helped me a lot but wish the bots were smarter and wish you could invite your friends to play with you.

Bad Partners

I really was expecting for the developers to make these 2 changes as I see others have the same issue. But nothing has been done, after 6weeks. I’m done. It is so FRUSTRATING. Deleting my favorite game app today.
6 weeks earlier:
I paid for a smart partner. There’s nothing smart about it! They lead with a points die when no other die has been played. Also, trumps me even when i already have the trick eon. My percentage is going down and not because of my play.
Please get partners that are at least as smart as a human!!!

Computer flaws

The computer does not recognize the trumps somebody can play a double five and the Trump is four and you have one Trump left. They will say you lost the game.! I have been playing this game now for about a year and a half. I wish they would make it realistic like if you’re at the end of the game, maybe there’s two places left. They will give away a double six and a0 one. I would prefer to it to be more realistic, so you could really learn to play. I would like to add. That my Domino’s don't come over to me. I have to touch each one with my finger to get them to move.

Enjoyed Practicing For Tournament

Good practice. Sometimes the partner makes stupid errors. It did irritate me when my opponent “lost” and he played a trump. The other “players” always exhaust their trumps quickly. I play it for fun and refuse to pay in order to play with “smart” partners.

Good Dominoes Game

It’s a good game except the partner routinely makes stupid moves. An easy example is when your partner draws out ALL of the trumps when the two of you are the only ones with trump dominoes in your hand. This almost always causes you to lose that hand. Another example is when it leads off with the 6/4 domino when neither the 6/6 or the 6/5 has yet been played and then later you see it had a smaller non-count domino in its hand that it could have led with.

Good game up to a point

Solid 42 Dominoes game to train on your own and/or for learning the game. But I have to say it’s only good up to a certain point. I have the full paid version, I’ve played 370 games on hard mode with “smart” opponents and a “smart” partner, and I’ve realized trends in how they play. They do not bet or play hands naturally. When force bet is turned on and it lands on them, they usually always bet on blanks—even if they have the worst blanks of the bunch. Just one example of confusing algorithmic behavior, but maybe I’ve just played past what this app can be used for. I’ve had fun while it lasted—hence 4 stars—but it could be improved. All in all, I’ve had tons of fun, and I’ve trained to the point where I’m confident I can beat my uncle now 🤝

Nello

This game would be enhanced a lot if you had the option in going nello and doubles follow doubles. If you look at the rules that is normal play. Please add that feature. Otherwise it’s a great app

Enjoyable childhood game.

All that’s missing is the laughter and the groans of my Oklahoma aunts and cousins. Well done!

Partner playing

I wish the developers would update the Gabe so the partner would stop throwing trumps as fast as he can. We lose most of the games when the partner has a lot of my trumps because he throws them all first.

Partner Trump Play

Pretty solid 42 game out there right now. One issue I do see, in the strategy, is when me and my partner only have trumps, instead of my partner playing doubles to try to get rid of my “off’s”, it immediately comes back out with a trump. I wish it would recognize we are the only one’s with trumps so it should play doubles (or highest of a suit) to help me get rid of my “off’s”.

AI cheats

I love playing 42 but this app can really get ridiculous. It’s like you against 3. My partner is a complete idiot. This game using AI can really make one’s BP rise. The scoring also is off many times.

Dumb partner

Computer partner makes stupid bids

Thanks great fun. Teaching me to play better.

The Best Game Ever Played

42 Dominoes really is the best game I have ever played It’s a game that most people have never heard of. It’s a game I learned growing up in Texas and have played and loved this game now for close to 60 years. I wish you could actually play it on line with other players and I wish AI would deal fairly. It gets pretty obvious when every hand your dealt is blanks and ones and no doubles!
Other than that if you love 42 as much as I do, you will love this game.

Partner

When playing forced bid your partner will pick blanks as trumps 95% of the time, even if they don’t have a single blank. When playing forced bid you can count on losing the majority of your partners bid.

Put me online with players

Enjoyed Practicing For Tournament

Good practice. Sometimes the partner made stupid errors, but this challenged me to step up. I also learned to pay closer attention to how rocks were played.

Options

It would be great if you could play the options for free. You have to pay to play nello or Sevens

Good but flawed

I love playing this game, but the partner playing algorithm has a bug imo. My partner often fails to play count when it’s clear we will win the trick. This bug has cost me the hand many times.
