Silver Card Game

The core game is solid (but not great) card game. There’s very little reason to try up to higher score cards (barring the 13 wild card) thus greatly reducing the risk-reward mechanic relative to dumb luck. However the controls are quite bad. Depending on how exactly you click on a card, it will either play the card, allow you to trade cards, or allow you to look at your hand. If you don’t do it quite right, it will do something other than what you intended. I find that seemingly half of the games this happens one or more times, making the game incredibly frustrating. Obviously that thankfully doesn’t occur in the physical card game.

The game is fun has an interesting way of playing and nice art. However it is extremely easy to make mistakes that cost you the game and I have also run into a glitch on the iPhone where the drawn card freezes and won’t let you do anything with it. It just sits on top of the deck until you restart the program. After restarting the program the green check mark lights up and you can move on with your game except hold on the card you drew goes back to the top of the deck and the opponent now gets to use it having two turns to your none. This needs to fixed to make it playable. Again fun game and nice art but very very frustrating to play.

In preparation of getting the actual game I have downloaded and played the Silver app game about 100 times. Major drawback is that there are some serious bugs in the app that prevent it from earning 5 stars. Sometimes unable to select cards to discard; sometimes cards stall mid swap; sometimes an incorrect card is put into my village when playing a 4 and the usual culprit is another 4, regardless of what was actually available and selected; sometimes the app stalls during game 3; and the difficulty level should be adjustable so that as we learn more it gets harder to beat. What about multiplayer or Bluetooth/online play?

The game is fun and addicting but I’ve come across more and more bugs as I’ve played. The biggest one is not allowing me to choose multiple cards to exchange with a drawn card. It has happened multiple time that it will only allow me to select one or two cards to exchange. Mostly it won’t let me choose face up and face down together when this happens. Or I’ve got exchange and it freezes. A lot of this is when I have rascals in play and am able to choose from multiple top cards

I enjoyed this much more after being able to learn on and play the real thing. There are a few things that I ran into as far as the game not responding to my actions or doing the opposite of what I intended. It would be nice to have a “just the score pad” feature so I can keep track on the game when playing with friends. Edit: After the most recent update the game runs much more smoothly - haven’t had any problems with it! Still looking for a score pad only game mode though! Great game either way!
