Can’t Score Properly

Won’t add points to the other teams tricks won - definitely a waste of money. Please fix this issue!!!

Doesn’t allow you to score the other team

I thought I would give it a chance since the previous review was 3 years ago, but it seems the same problem is here.
You can score who won or lost the main bids, but there is no way to track the tricks won by the players that didn’t win the bid.

Don’t buy unless they fix this issue.

Does the job

Like how easy it is to use and the display. Would be improved if we could track past rounds to track the game ups and downs from start to finish.

Doesn’t allow you to score tricks won

Bogus! You cannot score the single tricks won by the opposing side. Does show the scores for each round or the number of rounds played. Scam!

Don’t waste your dollar

Doesn’t have the rules, super bare-bones scorecard. Can’t track bids. Worse than using paper.
