### 5/5 — Ottimo

*2025-07-06, version 2.0.114*

Grafica semplice ed essenziale, come deve essere un gioco di carte, l’automa è il suo tallone d’Achille, inoltre ho l’impressione che il motore del gioco tenda ad avvantaggiare chi ha pochi punti, ma forse questo è un bene in realtà.
Purtroppo non ha troppi iscritti e questo lo penalizza rispetto ad altri portali.
Per il resto lo sviluppatore è sempre molto celere nelle risposte.
Promosso!

### 5/5 — Professionalità

*2025-03-28, version 2.0.104*

Il gioco é quasi perfetto. E dico quasi solo perche’ la perfezione é impossibile. Lo sviluppatore è sempre disponibile quasi in tempo reale per dubbi o richieste. Avevo giá dato un parere favorevole ma recentemente ho avuto qualche problemino a causa del mio sistema operativo vecchiotto e lo sviluppatore si é dimostrato un professionista. Il problema perô lo dico. Era relativo alla possibilitá di escludere giocatori nel gioco on line. Necessità dettata da quei giocatori che al primo segno di possibile sconfitta abbandonano la partita. Alcuni me lo hanno fatto più volte e andrebbero bannati.

### 5/5 — Forza dell’automa

*2025-03-18, version 2.0.102*

L’automa partner del giocatore e’ parecchio deludente, nonostante gli abbia assegnato a tutti gli automi la categoria forte. Ad esempio, molto spesso si mette a carta quando ancora la coppia non ha un Burraco ( a volte con anche 2 carte mancanti al burraco) e quindi e’ poi costretto a scartare carte utili alla coppia avversaria incluse pinelle o jolly. In altre occasioni, quando la coppia ancora non ha fatto un burraco e quindi non può chiudere, invece di pescare per cercare di fare un burraco prende la carta da terra senza che gli serva a niente perché’ poi la scarta al giro successivo è così’ per vari giri raccogliendo una singola carta che invariabilmente scarta al giro successivo. L’unica possibilità’ dderela mano a quel punto e’ che il giocatore fisico riesca fare burraco pescando dal mazzo. Capisco che cercare di incorporare questi problemi di logica richiede uno sforzo notevole ma e’ un po’ frustrante vedere delle mosse che non hanno alcun senso logico. In ogni caso grazie per il suo impegno e dedizione. Vincenzo

### 4/5 — Nic

*2024-09-07, version 2.0.74*

Tolles Spiel, Ablauf könnte ein bisschen schneller gehen 😊

### 5/5 — Automa

*2024-08-27, version 2.0.73*

Ho notato che ogni volta in cui L automa ha due carte e deve ancora prendere il mazzetto sa esattamente che se pescherà prenderà una carta che gli consente di fare tris e prendere il mazzetto al “ volo”. Ogni volta si ferma un po’ di più prima di pescare. Ormai so anche io quando riuscirà a prendere il mazzetto al volo e non sbaglio mai. Vuole dire che conosce comunque la carta che pescherà? E perché ogni tanto non si accorge di avere la chiusura in mano? Grazie. Saluti

### 5/5 — Io amo Burraco

*2024-08-06, version 2.0.73*

Grazie a tutti se prende questo gioco e un bellisimo gioco che fa passare il tempo io amo Burraco!!

### 4/5 — Divertente con qualche miglioria da fare

*2024-02-05, version 2.0.53*

Funzionamento adeguato, ogni tanto il robot da priorità a ridurre le carte in mano piuttosto che attaccare le carte sui giochi già presenti. Quando ha solo una carta in mano, se negli scatti c’è una carta che attacca, anche se irrilevante, raccoglie gli scarti e pregiudica la chiusura o la presa del pozzetto. Ultimamente l’automa dopo aver preso il pozzetto non stende tutte le carte che ha in mano, ma continua a pescare e attaccare una sola carta e finisce che le paga tutte. In generale gli automi quando hanno una sola carta, non gestiscono al meglio gli scarti, basta scattare una carta che attacca e loro prendono dal pozzo anziché pescare dal mazzo e provare a chiudere. Sta diventando noioso.

### 5/5 — LOVE BURRACO

*2023-11-11, version 2.0.48*

I learned to play it in Italy not on line so I started on line, and I love it.

### 3/5 — What a disappointment!

*2023-08-22, version 2.0.43*

I have played this game over a period of time and then had to down load an update by you which has slowed the game down so much it is now a drag. How to spoil a perfect game! It would be nice to have a level playing field now and again. I never get any jokers and every card in my hand is what the opponent needs, pointless to play! Au revoir!

### 5/5 — Problemi

*2023-08-17, version 2.0.43*

Dopo aver scaricato l’app, mi ha chiesto di pagare € 5,99 una sola volta per non vedere la pubblicità. Cosa che ho fatto perchè mi sembra un prezzo equo e l’app sembrava funzionare bene.  Solo che adesso mi chiede di pagare un’altra volta. Chiedo ad Antonio Ferraioli di darmi cortesemente una soluzione.
