Reviews of Sheepshead

  • Lopsided card distribution is the norm

    Hands are very often stacked. In a 10 game tournament it is common for 5-6 games to be no trick or no schneider. It happens all the time. In real games these hands happen on average less than 2 times in 10 hands. Just deal the cards randomly (like a real card game would) and play the game.
  • Freezes

    I’ve been liking this game since I originally downloaded it and would have given 5 stars. Gameplay isn’t what a human would do as the computer doesn’t shmeer points unless it knows the trick is theirs but it’s been a good learning tool to teach you how to play. The reason I have tanked the rating is because if I’m second in line to pick and I have a good enough hand to pick, the app freezes. The only thing I can do is to pass and then the game will freeze completely. I have to close out the app to keep playing and I lose a good hand. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling twice and no improvement. This just started in the last few weeks.
  • Poor upgrade.

    Latest version is terrible. Computer often picks and goes alone in 5 hand with no queens and 3 fail suites. Hey I win but no one would ever do that for real. Non picking partners lead trump. Agree with other reviewers that computer gets better partners on average. Prior versions seemed to have less quirks.
