Many times the robot plays high just to take the trick. Secondly, when I leave a game in the middle of a hand it’s for two reasons. 1. I need to go and I always send the message Gotta Run to be courteous. 2. When one of the players starts bidding crazy bids out of either frustration or anger - shoots when they clearly have no chance of making it. Bidding 9 or even 10 makes sense if they’re trying to block someone from winning. I get that. Usually I leave a game at this point, no apologies. When playing with live players the game is great and I really enjoy it. 👍 one more thing. I also leave when some one sends a wink to their partner indicating they have the Ace or something that’s going to take the 3. I like that you can’t talk but winking is a close as you get to it. ### 2/5 — Cards are not given randomly *2022-10-12, version 2.5.1* It’s great playing with actual people, however, the hands given are FAR from being random. Which makes it incredibly annoying to play. Wish the developers could fix this ### 3/5 — Bots need update *2022-06-06, version 2.5.1* Fun game when playing with actual people the bots just ruin it. They trump in with high cards for no reason they give up the jack before the 2 bid 4 without the Ace. If the bot is last and has the 2 and no trump has been played they still don’t play it. Gets really annoying needs updates. ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2022-05-18, version 2.5.1* The system seems to favor heavy bidders with better cards, including giving the partner in the 2v2 great supporting trump cards. A person can only take so many hands with cards no higher than 9, or with all the 10s. It seems scoring is off when calculating and honoring game point. But fun to play on the phone anywhere. ### 3/5 — Fine. Unrealistic hands, though. *2022-03-27, version 2.5.1* Perhaps it’s part of a scheme to frustrate you into paying but you will regularly end up in games where you never see a decent hand and will be playing against regular four bids. If you end up with a computer partner, you may end up having it bid four without the jack. Again, maybe it’s done on purpose to goad you into coughing up cash but it’s annoying, nevertheless. ### 1/5 — Deals are skewed *2022-02-26, version 2.5.1* After you play a while you rarely get good deals or hit with your partner. If you are playing with a real partner against a bot and you get way ahead, the bot will get a really good hand to catch up. Several times felt like the game chose the winner and if it wasn’t you, you had no chance. Deleted my account and the app. Moving on. ### 3/5 — Robot players stink *2021-06-13, version 2.5.1* When you play with a robot who bids 4 you lose low every time because robot doesn’t come back unless it has the king. It’s programmed into the game and is so frustrating bc you know you’re getting set. And I believe the deal is rigged when you play robots. 90% of the time when a robot has a forced 2 bid it has ace, jack and two more trump. Rarely works out that way for the human players though. ### 4/5 — Pretty good. AI needs work. *2021-05-23, version 2.5.1* This is a fun pitch game. Very enjoyable. I do, however, agree with those who say playing with the AI gets ridiculous sometimes. The AI tends to make these high bids that no sane person would make. It gets frustrating when the AI is on your team and always overbidding with no cards. And when you’re playing against the AI it’s easy to win. Other than that it’s definitely worth having and playing. ### 1/5 — Want to play and................ *2021-05-10, version 2.5.1* I have had to delete and reinstall my app 4 times cause I open the app to the first page and it freezes and goes no further. Trickster seems to be big enough that they should not have these issues. If I started my own pitch app and had these type of issues I could understand since I would be my own tech support, however this is comically sad. Fix your app so others don’t leave to other places to play. ### 1/5 — Do Not Get This App *2021-03-28, version 2.5.1* This is very disappointing. When playing with the computer, there will be 4-5 hands in a row where you are dealt no face cards or point cards. Also, when playing 5-point, your partner will bid 4 and lead with an exceptionally low card. In a real game, you don’t bid that high without an ace. It is as if the computer bids on random cards rather than sure point cards. ## Frequently asked questions about Trickster Pitch ### What is Trickster Pitch?
