Horrible, just horrible

Other players don’t “know” how to play wisely. Partner won’t lead highest trump. Also, when it’s late in a game and one player’s score is +30, you and the dealer’s score is -22, the dealer will choose a leaster instead of doubler. Annoying.
Fix this and maybe I’ll try it next year. For now, I’ll delete it and try another one.

Fun, despite many flaws

Enjoy, but prepare yourself for a couple infuriating flaws:

1. Way too many granny hands, pickers going alone, and getting dealt garbage and misdeals for 15 hands in a row.
2. Simulated players who don’t know how to schmear and who are happy to let the picker keep the lead.
3. If you’re NOT the picker, the partner seems to always have whichever big queens that the picker lacks, and the called suit always walks.
4. If you ARE the picker, the partner has bupkis and the called suit lead never walks, because Sally, who passed, is sitting on enough trump to nuke a hurricane.

Other than those things, which will occasionally make you want to throw your phone into traffic, the game is lovely, and I cannot stop playing it.

Realistic Wisconsin sheepshead

With this app it took me 2 weeks to really get a perfect understanding of the game. Now I play with real cards once a week.

Fun but glitches

A few bugs where the system glitches and deals 10 cards and pop ups keep coming constantly. Fun to play though!

Locks up

When asked "rate this game" and one option is "don't ask ever again" is like telling the sun not to shine. Because they will ask again.Best game available, but doesn't say a lot. Locks up and have to uninstall to be able to play resetting all stats... Would love to see what the hands are when everyone passes!!! So you can tell who Mauered
