Lopsided card distribution is the norm

SRKBadger on

United States

Hands are very often stacked. In a 10 game tournament it is common for 5-6 games to be no trick or no schneider. It happens all the time. In real games these hands happen on average less than 2 times in 10 hands. Just deal the cards randomly (like a real card game would) and play the game.

Was good now isn’t

Loners being called with three trump. Not hardly a challenge anymore.

I’ve been liking this game since I originally downloaded it and would have given 5 stars. Gameplay isn’t what a human would do as the computer doesn’t shmeer points unless it knows the trick is theirs but it’s been a good learning tool to teach you how to play. The reason I have tanked the rating is because if I’m second in line to pick and I have a good enough hand to pick, the app freezes. The only thing I can do is to pass and then the game will freeze completely. I have to close out the app to keep playing and I lose a good hand. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling twice and no improvement. This just started in the last few weeks.

Poor upgrade.

Bear58Wis on

Latest version is terrible. Computer often picks and goes alone in 5 hand with no queens and 3 fail suites. Hey I win but no one would ever do that for real. Non picking partners lead trump. Agree with other reviewers that computer gets better partners on average. Prior versions seemed to have less quirks.

Don’t go alone

E-bro 00 on

Ever since the update - players are going alone with very bad hands (not even worth picking with a partner either)

Going alone logic bad

Last weeks update broke the game. AI players now often go alone on poor picking hands.

Worst Sheepshead game I have ever played.

Techtike on

United States

Developer knows the rules of Sheepshead, but has no clue as to how to play.

Can’t Pick with latest version

Timpwk on

United States

With version 1.9.1 it will sometimes not allow me to pick a hand. Otherwise, great game to learn from. Agree with others about questionable computer decisions and suggestions, but that helps the learning process.

Best sheepshead game

I’ve played them all this is the best one and this is the one I’ve shared with my friends. Call Ace plays very well. Turn on large print cards.
