Algorithm is off

I like the game, but I find it very odd that 1: I play the same name people all the time (that is not possible - people choose unique names in games). How many Staceys, Eunices, Jonathans etc are there in this game that are supposedly worldwide). 2: Either you or your opponents get an inordinate amounts of jokers so it is rarely a fair game. 3: Too many play the game in exactly the same strategic way (not normal). 4: More often that not you get all your cards to be black or all red, which throws the game off b/c you can’t play defense that well. Too many glitches for it to be “coincidence”. I say it is rigged algorithm. In the real board game you only get 2 decks of cards which allows you to strategize and you don’t get a long game just for kicks (or the inordinate number of jokers and card numbers). Just saying.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being an active player of our game. We truly value your observations and would like to address your concerns with full transparency. 1. Player Names: We understand your concern regarding recurring player names. Please note that some names may appear frequently due to the use of bots or non-unique guest accounts, especially in quick matches. However, we are actively working to enhance user diversity and visibility to ensure a more authentic multiplayer experience. 2. Joker Distribution & Card Balance: The algorithm used is designed to simulate randomness fairly. That said, we acknowledge that certain patterns can sometimes appear unintentionally skewed. Our development team continuously reviews and tests card distribution to keep the gameplay balanced and enjoyable for all. 3. Strategy Similarity Among Players: The similarity in play styles could be due to game logic being adopted by frequent players or automated opponents using pre-defined strategies. We’re reviewing ways to introduce more human-like variability in future updates. 4. Card Color Imbalance: We appreciate your observation regarding color distributions. While outcomes are driven by a random number generator, we will certainly review this area to ensure there are no unintended patterns affecting gameplay fairness. We’re committed to offering an engaging and fair experience. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts. If you’d like to speak with our support team directly or suggest further improvements, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Way too many ads

It’s more ads than game. Why don’t they allow you to start a game with someone and play one turn at a time, instead you have to play the entire game in one sitting.

Response from developer

Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when ads interrupt gameplay, and we’re truly sorry that this has impacted your experience. Our team is currently reviewing the ad frequency and exploring ways to improve the balance between supporting the platform and ensuring uninterrupted play. Regarding your suggestion about turn-based gameplay over time that’s a valuable insight. At present, our game is designed for real-time sessions to keep the pace competitive and immersive. However, your idea of a more flexible, turn-by-turn mode is something we’ll definitely consider as we plan future updates. We want our game to be accessible and enjoyable for all play styles. We genuinely appreciate your feedback it helps us grow and improve. Please stay tuned for upcoming improvements, and thank you for being a part of our gaming community.
