Pinochle - Expert AI

Most fixed game I ever played. Never did I ever see anything like this. It’s not fun when it’s fixed.

Only the opponents get cards as they get 15-40 points every hand Very boring

I find this game almost as good as playing against real players. I have played with a club regularly and find this game good practice. Thanks

95% of the time the computer generated opposition team have the winning hands. Very seldom does the human player have a hand on which to bid, he’s more of a place holder

When the other team gets six double runs in a row it takes the challenge and fun out of playing.

Hi

I love this app. Do you guys think you can add “Create your own Melds” and “add any cards to the deck” features. I think it’d be cool to be able to create custom melds

It would be nice if the partner would at least pass the pinochle cards to the bidder when spades or diamonds is named trump. It’s very irritating to have three legs of the pinochle and then not get the other piece from your partner. I was passed the ace of spades(trump) the ace of hearts and two aces of clubs and the partner kept the jack of diamonds I needed for double pinochle. No need to send extra ace of clubs-very disappointed. Again was passed one jack of diamonds instead of both and missed out on a double pinochle. I don’t understand why double pinochle isn’t first priority for my partner. So very aggravated.

I enjoy the game - especially that I can configure so many options to make it very close to the way my family and I play. But, I need a slightly smarter partner, especially when it comes to being aware of the game score. Today, we were 5 points from winning, our opponents were way behind us, and all we would have had to do was pass to go out. Instead, my partner bid a high big, which we failed to make, and we ultimately lost the game. Similarly, my partner doesn’t realize when our opponents are close to winning and we are way behind, our only hope of winning the game is to let them get the bid and put them up.

I love that I can customize the Pinochle game to the rules I use. In fact I love everything about the set up and options of this app, except for the way it plays. The code or AI in this game continually deals the best cards, full ropes or partial ropes that it’s partner can fill in, aces, and the cards the other, team needs to to itself. On a regular basis. I have skipped hands over and over with all hands revealed to watch it do this. It also sets itself up to short suit easily. While the live player and partner get junk and the AI makes my partner pass more readily than a live person would do. I can’t improve my playing because my hands are so bad I have to pass all the time. It’s rare that I actually have any fun with this because it’s definitely not a fair random shuffle. Would love to see this fixed.
