  • Needs work

    Doesn’t work 70% of the time.
  • Terrible app

    This app does not remotely reflect the game of 42. It constantly plays to the computers favor, even so far as your partner making stupid plays to lose a hand. Don’t buy this….it’s a waste of money
  • Texas 42

    I have been playing this game for months, and loved it. However, now all kinds of errors are present. From not scoring a trick correctly to just shutting off in the middle of a game. What's happening? Another huge flaw, although I have set my partner to conservative, he constantly out bids me, and usually gets set. In real life, a partner would never out bid his partner unless he had a sure hand. Also, is there a way to Change trumps when you accidentally hit the wrong trump button? This is a new PROBLEM, I’ve just started having!! My partner has the bid, with 6’s being the trump! Partner played a low Trump, the player after me caught the trick, then led blank 4, partner plays an off, player to my right can’t follow suit, I play 4-2, obviously higher than 4-blank, but the trick went to the opposing team!!! This has happened a couple times before, but I hadn’t taken time to right!! When things are going well, it is my favorite game!!

  • Waist of money!!!

    I have played 42 for years. The game should be fun to play. NOT FRUSTRATING!! No matter how you have setting, you still get your backside tanned.. If you don’t understand that! You have not been playing 42 long…
  • The program needs to change

    I’ve played this game for years. It is frustrating at times. The main frustration is my “partner” setting me. It isn’t consistent. It will play under my trump when it has the highest non double trump and has other doubles it could play. On the other hand, it holds high dominoes instead of playing them. When I play a double, it will play under, then cover my off, then set “us” by playing into count. When the partner wins the bid, it will continue to play lead instead of playing its off. That is usually on the last trick we get set because I gave up the domino that could have covered us. (The opponents had the off I was holding for). I know it must be a difficult program to write, but I became used to playing Win42. That was an awesome game

    The 5/5 is still played like it is only count.

    This isn’t a bad game, just frustrating at times.

  • Partner doesn’t ever play right

    As someone who plays regularly and loves to play, it’s super frustrating having a computer partner that is so bad. About 70% of the time he misplays trumps/count. I do not recommend getting this app if you enjoy 42.
  • Cheats

    On multiple occasions it gave the trick to other team when it was my trick. Since when does a six four beat a six five when a six blank is lead and aces are trump and only other domino on the board is a five four.
  • Dissatisfied from Texas

    I see several reports of inept partner and couldn’t agree more .
    I even switched back and forth from conservative to aggressive play style which made little difference .
    Partner seems like he is “throwing” the game sometimes when we have the advantage ?
  • Good game

    Needs some work in multiplayer. Love the game, but can’t finish with an invited player. Please fix!
  • Works well for a learning single player

    My son is teaching me how to play, and this app is great for single player and being able to adjust the skill levels of the other players. I tried a different 42 app, but my partner kept making stupid moves. This app’s partner is much smarter! Worth the $1.99 to not be frustrated.
