Don’t waste your time…or money

The most frustrating part is when the computer decides it’s time for you to lose, it’s unavoidable. Either your opponents get all the count and trumps or your partner makes outrageously bad decisions…even the “smart” one. It really diminishes the whole enjoyment of playing 42. I’ve left multiple reviews pointing this and various other flaws out but to no avail. Nevertheless, at least I’m able to get some small degree of satisfaction over the “house”.

42

Good fun! I’ve played thousands of games. My partner is kind of stupid, but so are the partners we are playing against!

Nice platform

I feel like I’m playing against 3 with my partners dumb moves. For instance holding a blank 5 even when it has the ability to hold the higher case dominos and set the opponent. Also leading 6 4 when it has alternate non count dominos that would be safe

Taos Time

Great game. I love the play. Please consider adding a popular bid in Texas, “near seven”. Contact me if you need more information.

Terrible Game Play

Don’t waste your money. The computer players are terrible. They rarely bid on a hand but if you turn on force bid, they automatically bid blanks for trumps when forced to bid. And they constantly misplay dominoes. Not a good game.

Stupid partner

This is fun if you enjoy this game but be prepared for really bad play by your partner even at its best level.
He will draw in your trumps when the 2 of you have them all, destroying any strategy you may be working on. If he is force to bid he will sometimes pick a trump he has no way to win any of. There are other stupid things he does but if you can over look having a stupid partner you can relax and play a few games.
The designer obviously does not understand many aspects of the game and after years I’ve come to the conclusion he will never fix this.

Nil option

I purchase this option, but can not figure out how to bid it. I have bid one mark, but there is no option for bidding nil! Give me my money back. I might also suggest you add the near 7 option?

Good practice game

I like that I have the paid version so no ads and it’s uses a low amount of energy to play.

Play

I wish the way players played would be updated. More realistic play would take the game to another level.

Nice game

Play style need work partner will lead or play 6 4 when he has 6 6 or when the opponent has the trick setting me on both

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. I paid for a smart partner twice and he's dumber than dirt. you haven't done anything about my partner. He is supposed to be a smart partner. He will be with one Trump. He's losing us every game and I paid for him twice. it's me again and I paid twice just like I told you. For a smart partner. This partner is so dumb he will bid 31 with one Trump and no doubles what is going on. I want my old partner back.!!!!!

Fun but not too 42 smart

The game as played for free, is so so dumb.

Bids with only 2 trumps
Will bid with 5 - 0 blind off
Plays trumps all the way out first
Partner won’t throw you points at time that would be helpful
Partner plays points when you likely will lose a trick
Etc. etc.

CPU doesn’t play by book

It’s alright but your CPU partner does not play by the standard rules partners should play by making play confusing and hard. As well your partner will consistently out bid you and lose

It’s okay

The game moves well and is a good ‘bid based’ challenge. Sometimes my partner makes worse mistakes than I do.

Pretty good

My only complaint is kinda big. The smart partner option isn’t smart. The partner makes frequent unforced errors that even the opponents don’t make. For example, leading an unprotected 6:4 when 6:5 and 6:6 or trumps are still out, and calling blanks as trump then leading with blank 5 with blank 6 and double blank is still out. These partner errors (and a couple others) occur even when it should be obvious I don’t have the suit or trumps. The opponents never make such mistakes, so the code exists and should be applied when the smart partner option is checked. Otherwise, the app works well and is fun to play; even better than others I’ve tried.

Smart player

I paid for the “smart player” and it is absolutely NOT smart. Don’t waste your time or money playing this game.

Very Buggy, Freezes

Has great potential but needs to be updated or something. Difficult to finish a full game before it freezes. Other times it freezes before you can even get started. Lots of great potential, but unfortunately it seems that the app has been left for dead and/or abandoned judging by its updates and current game play.

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!!!
