Mental Challenge

This Spades game is very hard to beat. Great for honing my logic and skills.

Response from developer

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Spades. Thank you for your review.

Makes illogical moves

Makes illogical moves. Will take a trick with a spade after bidding a NIl when holding a none spade card. Will take a trick when I bid a NIl when player player to my left has already beat my card. This leaves me vurnable with a higher card.

Response from developer

The AI bot player certainly should not take a tricks with a spade unnecessarily when bidding nil. Please see Settings -> Level to make sure you are playing on level 3 or higher. Play on level 3 has human designed rules and should play as a good human does. Play on Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation method. We have seen some creative play, like perhaps taking a trick with a high spade when the nil is not makable when both teams have bid nil. This could make sense to tell partner that the nil is not makable and it is best to try to defeat the opponent's nil. Thank you for your review.

Seriously?

Do the people who write the code for these games actually know how to play them? On level 5 the computer partner should play with some level of skill. Instead, it plays poorly. It overbids, underbids, unnecessarily takes tricks I clearly have and need when it doesn’t need to, doesn’t take tricks it clearly needs when it can, and takes unnecessary bags. Curious why a poor rating won’t upload.

Nil victories

This started out being a good game with the exception of the cards being spread out into two rows requiring some attention in playing a hand. But the game keeps feeding opponents Nil hands to win, in some games, every round featured the other team going nil. That makes the game no fun at all. Shame, that.

Response from developer

The deals are not biased to any seat. With more play, the luck should change. The AI uses an advanced Monte Carlo method to play on the higher levels. We play on level 1 for more relaxing games. Thank you for your review.
