Ratings and reviews

Edit Tried again March 24... updated and ads have taken over! Game is unplayable now. I guess they are trying to drive you crazy so you buy that game... unacceptable. Edit... I'm not sure what happened, but now I get ads after every hand. Way too much. So long NeuralPlay. It's better than others, but AI partner's leads can be quite frustrating at times.

The interface is serviceable, though I wish it would show the trump suit near the player who called it rather than always near my partner. The degree of customization is great. Unfortunately, the computer players are rather dumb at all levels, including custom ones. It often comes down to luck. Luck is always an element in card games, but it shouldn't be the determining element. I don't know which Monte Carlo implementation is being used, so I can't suggest an improvement, but this seems weak.

I used to think this was the best euchre game out there, but after 1000+ hands on the hardest level I can't take the stupidity from the AI anymore, particularly with the AI partner. It's like something changed at some point and the AI got really bad. Even with the aggressiveness set to 35 the partner causes a euchre over and over. Too bad ...it was really good at first
