### 5/5 — Bid whist lover

*2026-08-20, version 5.33*

My relaxation strategy every night this game version is the best

### 4/5 — Bid whist expert AI

*2026-07-19, version 5.33*

This game could be a 5 rating if an experienced player gave the developer a better understanding of the nuances of the game

### 5/5 — Why not!

*2026-07-12, version 5.33*

Fun!

### 5/5 — A Blessing.

*2026-07-05, version 5.33*

This game is a Blessing! We thank God for the Card Playing Ministry.

### 5/5 — Worse game

*2026-04-19, version 5.23*

The partner does not know how to play with the partner.  Hold on to vital cards cut the partner out  and hold on to trumps.  I hate this version.  Not the inrgame I signed up for.  

I realized this version does not have partners.  It’s every man for himself.  Now that I know how to play I’m loving it!  Sorry for the misunderstanding!🌿

### 4/5 — Partner Bidding process

*2026-03-17, version 5.21*

PLAY WINNING CARD WHEN AVAILABLE DO NOY TRY TO BE SLICK

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-27, version 5.12*

I will continue to play it’s lots of fun !

### 3/5 — Adjustments

*2026-02-06, version 4.82*

Could you please explain the game to North man is a complete idiot. He plays the Trump’s unnecessarily. He doesn’t cut when he should. He pushes trumps when we’re the only ones who have Trump’s and the no Trump. He doesn’t get out of the way and it is so irritating.

### 2/5 — Adjustments

*2026-02-01*

It could use a little upgrade for example my partner when I had a bid my partner plays the Trump back to me. Well, we only ones who have Trump therefore leaving me vulnerable to the opponent turning a book which he could’ve cut if he had held onto the Trump. In other words, we should have them in a crossfire. He shouldn’t push trumps back on when we’re the only ones who have trumps and my number two flex,in a no Trump, even though he might have a winner, he needs to get out of my way because he might not have another winning card in his hand and then he let me vulnerable to the other players,
In other words, if he doesn’t have a couple of one in cards to get back to me or if he’s not able to get back to me, he should get out of my way. Let me run the boy.

**Developer response:** Excellent point. We have not seen this issue of the AI partner leading back trumps when only partner has trumps. We will look for this and work on a fix.  Note, level 3 has a rule-based AI it should count well and play pretty well like we humans do.  Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation method. They make some errors that we humans would not make but play better than level 3 overall. Thank you for your review.

### 2/5 — CPU teammate plays dumb

*2026-01-20, version 4.82*

Game is fun but the teammate doesn’t play logically.
