Много настроек, удобно выбирать. Достаточно быстро думает, играть приятно

### 5/5 — Добавить разборы и задачки!

*2025-11-06*

Хотелось бы получать разборы своих ошибок и иметь возможность решать задачки по типу шахматных - как подловить мизер при таком-то раскладе, как организовать паровозик сопернику и т п.

### 5/5 — Лучшие

*2025-10-30*

Лучшее приложения преферанса

### 5/5 — Отлично.

*2025-09-21*

Лет 5-7 играю, совсем не надоело. )

### 5/5 — Для разминки мозгов

*2025-09-18*

Помогает скоротать время в полете. В целом нормально. Играю не первый год. Может сделать больше чумовых раскладов?

### 5/5 — Лучший преферанс, который возможно найти…

*2025-08-05*

Играю регулярно много лет подряд и очень доволен игрой и алгоритмами. Спасибо большое разработчику!

### 5/5 — Великолепно

*2024-02-25*

Боты боятся вистовать девятерные, в остальном играют хорошо и честно. Рейтинг не растёт выше 1000, пришлось закончить после 580 игр.

### 5/5 — Best game

*2024-01-08*

Excellent card game that challenges your brain and memory.  Opponents seem to be more realistic players (some even make “mistakes “ sometimes). The only suggestion is to have a choice to pick different levels of opponents - easy to hard- to help progress the player’s skills .
