Good game

This is a good game. Best version I've found. Is it possible to add an option to call a ten instead of playing under?

Good for learning, lousy hands, consistently unlikely deals

This game certainly plays well, but I will go very long stretches, like 30-40 hands, where I get absolutely lousy hands, never good enough to pick, while one or two players keep getting perfect or near-perfect hands. Iโ€™m suspicious.

Very good, I am a long time player & just discovered this app. Thank You

Love it!, butโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve been playing this for quite a while, and have recently noticed a few things:
Hands are repetitive.
Often, all 4 queens are held by the picker and partner.
Many deals in a row there are two trump in a bad hand. Maybe thatโ€™s realistic - I donโ€™t know.

Is there a way to balance and vary the shuffling and deal? If so, let me know!

Thank you for creating this for us.

Great for learning

I had no background in this game but this app really helped get the basics going and get me off my feet. Very helpful advice and set up for beginners!
