Texas 42

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.

The most worthless algorithm in dominoes. Every hand is stacked against you and if you dare to bid your own partner will set you.

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.

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.

Doesn’t work 70% of the time.

This app does not remotely reflect the game of 42. It constantly plays to the computers favor, even so far as your partner making stupid plays to lose a hand. Don’t buy this….it’s a waste of money

I have been playing this game for months, and loved it. However, now all kinds of errors are present. From not scoring a trick correctly to just shutting off in the middle of a game. What's happening? Another huge flaw, although I have set my partner to conservative, he constantly out bids me, and usually gets set. In real life, a partner would never out bid his partner unless he had a sure hand. Also, is there a way to Change trumps when you accidentally hit the wrong trump button? This is a new PROBLEM, I’ve just started having!! My partner has the bid, with 6’s being the trump! Partner played a low Trump, the player after me caught the trick, then led blank 4, partner plays an off, player to my right can’t follow suit, I play 4-2, obviously higher than 4-blank, but the trick went to the opposing team!!! This has happened a couple times before, but I hadn’t taken time to right!! When things are going well, it is my favorite game!!

I have played 42 for years. The game should be fun to play. NOT FRUSTRATING!! No matter how you have setting, you still get your backside tanned.. If you don’t understand that! You have not been playing 42 long…

I’ve played this game for years. It is frustrating at times. The main frustration is my “partner” setting me. It isn’t consistent. It will play under my trump when it has the highest non double trump and has other doubles it could play. On the other hand, it holds high dominoes instead of playing them. When I play a double, it will play under, then cover my off, then set “us” by playing into count. When the partner wins the bid, it will continue to play lead instead of playing its off. That is usually on the last trick we get set because I gave up the domino that could have covered us. (The opponents had the off I was holding for). I know it must be a difficult program to write, but I became used to playing Win42. That was an awesome game The 5/5 is still played like it is only count. This isn’t a bad game, just frustrating at times.

As someone who plays regularly and loves to play, it’s super frustrating having a computer partner that is so bad. About 70% of the time he misplays trumps/count. I do not recommend getting this app if you enjoy 42.
