Challenge timer

The last update seems to have broken the challenge timer. It only advances when you’re actually playing. Since I don’t play for hours at a time, it’s been somewhere in the 14-hour range for about three days now.

Developers, could you please take a look?

Cheater

I do screen shots and videos to show how much this game cheats. AI doesn’t allow winning. How sad that a company who use to have fun games totally defeated the purpose. Why play these games when you never win. Just about all comments are headed that way. Maybe the one star ratings will finally be shown so people can stay away from this horrible game. UPDATE: Felt good to delete your app after you had AI ruin the game for me.

Update broke difficulty

Easy is now the most difficult when they could easily be defeated before. AI now has the most luck and will actively work against you.

One game per day sometimes 2

Definitely rigged

I don’t write reviews but felt I must after playing this game for several months. I never pay to play games because I’m too cheap. I don’t mind ads if watching keeps money in my pocket. The beginner and intermediate levels of this game can definitely be won without any bonus jokers. These are the levels I suggest players stick to playing.
The joker cards are dealt fairly enough and AI play is challenging but reasonable. The expert level…forget it. Even with a bonus joker, and you can only get one, 98% of the time the AI wins. The jokers are consistently given to the AI along with every card it needs to complete a stack. The expert level is rigged so the human player cannot win. As other reviewers have said it takes the fun out of the game. The developers need to address this issue and make the expert level a more balanced game. There’s nothing expert about an AI being rigged to win consistently.

Addicted

I love this game. Challenging yet fair. Fun

Spite & Malice

My wife and I play this every day. We keep a running score, because we are very competitive! It’s our favorite game!

AI should not be part of your game.

Win loss ratio is ridiculous. I play your other games but seriously you need to let us win the occasional expert games. It makes me want to delete this. A waste of time. Other spit and malice games are much more equal.

Pretty good

Too many adds but game is GREAT

About to delete

EDIT: I have deleted the app after over 1500 games. It's not fun when you rarely get to play due to the computer constantly just clearing hands and stacks, the glitches playing/discarding for you, etc. Too bad, because I love playing the game, but the glitches are just horrible.

This app has several glitches that had caused me to lose several games in a row and I am about to delete it permanently.
The computer will either take a card and discard it for you, allowing it to skip your turn, or it will play a card in your hand and discard one. It always either plays a card that will enable the computer to move a card from their pile and/or discard to block a card you need to use.
It's extremely frustrating when this happens because it always leads to the computer winning. My hand is nowhere near the screen when this happens. It used to happen on occasion but it's now happening almost every game I play.

Game

Would be really cool to play against other people, but there’s just not enough people out there
Also, I don’t know why I can’t play the advanced professional one when I have to pay $70 or something to do it. I don’t get it. I have to pay money for it.

Obnoxious graphics

Graphics are to busy. Takes away from playing the actual game.

You just lost a longtime player with this demand for signing in. Goodbye.

Sign in requirement is a deal killer.

TOO MANY ADS

Ridiculous ads for the same game over and over. Can’t even tell how long they will last. I won’t fall prey to such nonsense. Adios!

Ads

This game has so many ads. It even has ads when you are playing the game offline 🥱

It also freezes in the middle of a game which makes you force to forfeit or quit. It makes you lose of a lot of time and coins.

Who would want to play a game where there are ads offline...

Poor Development

Love the game. Graphics are great. But, too many glitches to be ok with this app. Algorithm is far from acceptable. Just when you think you have a good run, a card from your pile is mysteriously played & not anything close to your intention; or, your opponent suddenly has exactly what is needed to shut you down, which could happen. But, the frequency would not. Although, it’s probably a sign that I’m playing too much.

No way to get out of ad

I don’t mind having to watch an ad to play a free game but there is no way to get out of the ads. It just sits there and you never get to play the game. This is not a good design!

RNG is broken, can not one iOS company make a smart logic system for a competitive card game?

Even the RNG itself is random; I'll see the CPU either stack their cards unorganized and then all of a sudden, they play half of their cards including the shuffled ones in their rows. The difficulty settings are also broken with medium feeling like it's either too easy or too hard - isn't that the point of a medium difficulty?

This game is luck, not skill.
