Texas 42 is a trick taking game similar to bridge or spades. Invented in the late 1880s, it has become a tradition across generations of players. The sole motivator for the development of this app has been to create an AI that doesn't make the users wish they spent their 2 dollars on a soda instead of frustrating computer play. Much work has been made into creating an AI that makes the same moves you would. Since you don't have the same play style as everyone else, you can set each computer player to have one of 3 specified play styles "Conservative", "Normal", or "Aggressive". You can mix and match these styles as you see fit and can change them at any time in the game. A conservative player will tend to bid lower than the rest of the players. Its main focus when it has the lead is to draw all the trumps in play before moving on to non-trumps. If the conservative player does not have the highest trump, it will tend to lead with a junk/punt tile to draw out the higher ones, while holding on to tiles with count until it knows it can win with them. A normal player will tend to bid higher than a conservative player. Its main focus is holding on to its trumps for cases where count is on the table. If it does not have the highest trump it will tend to attempt to punt to its teammate. An aggressive player is a mixture of the two. It tends to push the bid to 31 or 34-36 with weaker hands than the other two and is more willing to bid marks if it has a strong hand. It is also willing to lay down trumps with 5 counts in an effort to draw out the ones covering the 10 count. Its more willing to play count at risk of hoping its partner will win the trick. For bidding purposes, your partner will respond to your bid. If you bid 30, you are indicating to your partner that you have a helping hand and it will be much more likely to outbid an opponent win the bid. ----------------------------------------------------- Here's what some beta testers have had to say about the app: "The AI has been impressive for me so far, not a single play that I've seen has been stupid yet and I've probably played around 10 games. Very solid game for my experience" "I really like your idea of the different styles of play and I think you are pretty close to that reality." "To date it is the best one out there. I have never felt like I was playing true 42 on the other apps." ## Texas 42 Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/92/e3/21/92e321eb-2c94-f384-d8dd-e0346d65f10f/mzl.hbhjwuks.png/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/7c/48/ae/7c48aed0-7b8a-e461-aeb8-fd3904e36052/mzl.xpushetq.png/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/b7/39/52/b7395240-131e-1851-c47f-af90df1dfc95/mzl.cnhcmjtl.png/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/98/d5/2b/98d52b89-a2d4-a4c8-ef88-781b57400dd6/mzl.bzlfzame.png/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/bd/e0/e6/bde0e622-af9b-dbd8-ee81-48ee03732176/mzl.ykfyxkkf.png/960x640.png) ## Texas 42 Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 23 (29%) - 4 stars: 7 (9%) - 3 stars: 6 (8%) - 2 stars: 17 (21%) - 1 stars: 27 (34%) ## Texas 42 Reviews in United States ### ****- "Glitches make it frustrating" While this game is fun, it tends to glitch when you are playing with friends. And when it glitches, you have to exit the match and start over. Very frustrating. -- Word plus, 2024-11-27 ### **--- "Multiplayer doesn’t work" It’s a good app and follows most of the rules. You cannot play for points though but that’s not the big issue. The big issue is there is no multiplayer. They may have a button, but it does not work! If they could add a play for points option and actually fix the fix the multiplayer so that it would actually work it would be a great app! -- Anonymous Norm2319, 2024-09-12 ### ***** "Good app" Really like the app, feels like I’m playing a real game. Bots are smart. Developer(s), I would love to talk about how the bots determine what/when to bid. Please reply to this review and get in contact -- It'sfggfhg, 2024-09-10 ### **--- "42" Not very happy with this app. Crashes or freezes all the time. If I play with my partner and two other players. It is not a 100% that we can Gino’s game. I can receive a text or phone call and it stops the sound. It also throws me out and sends me to single player. I can’t even invite 4 friends it freezes or doesn’t let the 4th join. Sometimes it lets the 3rd person join. Allows us to play a little while then it freezes. Also there is times my partner can’t get any dominoes during a game. This is very frustrating. -- GAnnW1991, 2024-01-31 ### *---- "My “partner” stinks" I’ve played 42 for decades. I can’t play the game in this app because my computer partner is terrible! Doesn’t play wisely, bids and gets set every time. Will be deleting this app. Very disappointed. -- Lady A 63, 2024-01-28 ### *---- "Broken" The app is broken. It needs to be updated. -- Rmmzz77, 2024-01-18 ### *---- "Horrible App" This app will almost always crash before you can finish a game. -- Zman9821, 2023-11-25 ### *---- "Game play" Worst domino game ever. Unless you pay them money the play of your partner and the play of your opponents is ridiculous. You pay $9.99 or you get a “dumb partner” as they describe it and believe me it is a dumb partner. -- porter53, 2023-08-10 ### **--- "Worthless" The most worthless algorithm in dominoes. Every hand is stacked against you and if you dare to bid your own partner will set you. -- PopizPot, 2023-07-13 ### **--- "Program changes" I also have played for several years. The two players on both sides of me me seem to get hands that hit each other, where I can’t normally hit my partner. I get the worst hands and most of the time have a very hard time making 30. My partner will bid 30 and get set more than 50% of the time. The game could be more fun but now it is very frustrating. I hope you improve it. Haven’t improved as of yet. -- Bigdad#1, 2023-04-12 [View all Texas 42 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Texas 42 In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Customize your Domino | $0.99 | | Customize your table logo | $0.99 | | Use black pips instead of colored | $0.99 | ## Texas 42 Discovered Keywords - texas 42 ## Apps Similar to Texas 42 - [Mississippi Stud - Casino Game](https://apptail.io/app/mississippi-stud-casino-game-uCe/united-states) - [Canasta Hand And Foot](https://apptail.io/app/canasta-hand-and-foot-hKj/united-states) - [Dominos - Classic Board Games](https://apptail.io/app/dominos-classic-board-games-LQn/united-states) - [Bookbag: Spades Scorekeeper](https://apptail.io/app/bookbag-spades-scorekeeper-PRs/united-states) - [American Canasta](https://apptail.io/app/american-canasta-Sakb/united-states) - [LearnBridge](https://apptail.io/app/learnbridge-eVPc/united-states) - [Mississippi Stud Poker Casino](https://apptail.io/app/mississippi-stud-poker-casino-PLUc/united-states) - [Thirty One Rummy](https://apptail.io/app/thirty-one-rummy-OCWc/united-states) - [AC - Mexican Train Scorecard](https://apptail.io/app/ac-mexican-train-scorecard-bLLd/united-states) - [Mex Train](https://apptail.io/app/mex-train-JIxm/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
