### 1/5 — 规则有问题

*2026-08-05*

规则是顺子只能5张，而且只能钢板，没有飞机，能不能按照官方规则来？

**Developer response:** Will fix this in next version, thanks!

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2026-05-03*

2026/05/03: I just finished a round where my partner had a Q and passed up the chance to use it three times. This always happens. I’ve finished first many times since the latest update, but my partner almost always finishes 4th. Definitely a bug. 

2026/05/02：最新更新很棒，修复了之前的bug。但我仍然会遇到一些特殊情况的问题，比如万能牌无法正常使用。在之前的版本中，我可以用红色小丑牌作为万能牌，但现在不行了。我猜这才是正确的玩法，所以这很好。有时候，我觉得有些牌型应该可以出，但却不能出。最后，我的队友经常拒绝出他应该出的牌。如果我们能为队友选择“激进”、“乐于助人”或“常规”三种性格就好了。这样我们就可以选择以特定的方式进行练习。感谢开发者的及时响应！

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and great suggestions, we have implemented it and updated in the new version, please enjoy.
