Seriously Flawed
I’ve played euchre for years, and after spending a lot of time with this app, the AI behavior becomes impossible to ignore. The computer opponents consistently make statistically improbable place, often seeming to know exactly what cards I’m holding. They routinely saved the perfect cards to euchre immune situations that simply do not feel realistic for random distribution.
The biggest issue is the partner AI. My five star partner regularly calls Trump without even holding a Bauer and predictably gets us euchre. Even worse, it frequently goes alone with weak hands that have no business being played solo, throwing away opportunities for a higher scoring team hands. Meanwhile, the lower rated opponents consistently place smarter and more strategically than the supposed elite AI partner, even though they are lower star ratings. They also never get euchre. It appears that not only do they know what I’m holding, but they know what their partner has.
I paid for the ad free version, hoping the gameplay would improve overtime, but it never did. The longer I played, the more obvious the flaws became. Unfortunately, I ended up deleting the app.

It would be good if the cards were not highlighted so that you have to think more also when you are going alone and you have the suit and the other opponents don’t that the game could automatically finished the hand
Great game, but one cryptic feature
I’ve enjoyed this game for years, but I cannot understand why it sometimes displays a token with a number 3 in it beside a player avatar?! Seems random, it can be there at the start of a brand new game, and may disappear or switch to another player within a game. Does not affect the score. Is not described anywhere. What is it??

Join game
Why can’t I join games already in progress with real people? I could before November 20th. I have to wait for a new game and it’s always with the computer. Disappointed!!
