Rummy

If there is too much of a spread in the scores, the computer-player will Gin repeatly to catch up, then win. There was one time I counted eight Gins in a row. Can’t be that lucky! Other times, the computer-player’s hand shown at the end of a game could have easily melded the required value of cards but didn’t, and we were not playing Gin Rummy. I love playing, and play a lot, but don’t enjoy the game as much if I feel the computer-player isn’t playing an authentic game.

Playing the elimination solo games can be frustrating when the AI players do not draw strategically. Several times I’ve had to draw/discard over and over for over, one time it took more than 100 turns before the AI finally played a hand and discarded out, ending the game. None of the piles on the board were playable and I only had one card left, meaning I couldn’t make 3 of a kind or a straight, nor could I draw a card that was playable on the board. The AI players had 3-4 cards left, they just took forever to finally build a straight/3 of a kind to put down. Also annoyed that multiplayer games cost money beyond one game per day. I don’t know what justifies a charge when there are already so many ads.

Frankly, both versions have WAY too many options. They probably cause multiple problems, 1 of which is, when purchased, it does not overlay the version with adds. Instead, it creates it's own version. Then, after choosing my options, it refused to recognize the fact I melded all cards to go out. It kept telling me I must do so despite the fact I had. After turning that option off, I was able to meld all the cards to go out, thus winning the hand. Again, don't buy this game. If you don't want adds, just turn off wifi or cellular. In its attempts to be politically correct, it won’t recognize names as being male or female. One of my “opponents “ I’ve named Samantha. Game calls her “he/she whenever she melds ahead of the other three.

I downloaded this app for my child. The game is fun and we both enjoy playing it. However, the ads, which I can not figure out how to remove (probably user error, not an app issue), are completely inappropriate. Ads such as "naughty date" and "wish", which have images of women that are near pornographic in their positions, their clothing revealing. Again, no problem with the app. It is easy to navigate, has flexible settings and images are easy to see. But the ads....

I come back to this one over and over! I really have to think about which card to play. This is evaluation, one of the highest levels of thinking on Blooms Taxonomy. I like it that the AI do not cheat like I have found in some of the games I’ve been playing. After a while in the other games, the Ai cheat so bad, it is impossible to win! This game is fair, so far. I’ve also played it online with a friend. It worked well!
