Ratings and reviews

So the game is designed so all three computer players are against you. They play their cards as though they know what each other has. I had a hand with several hearts. I could have pitched them off if I was able to break hearts. Unbelievably, the computer would not pitch hearts when it was in their interest to. This was the opening hand so there was no reason to target me as the player with the best score. I replayed the hand a couple times and could only conclude that the algorithm cheats.

Tried this because I love their Bridge app. The game play on highest level is challenging enough to keep any player engaged. The size of the cards in portrait mode is a little small, but it's the game play I came for and for that I will stay! Thanks Neural Play for TWO excellent card game apps!

Love this app! It's a great tool to help you learn how to play. With options like: showing the opponents cards, suggested plays, unlimited undos and entire hand replays.
