Card Games by Bicycle Hack 1.17.2 + Redeem Codes

I’m giving this 5 stars because so much of it is better than most other card games I’ve played. The only one I’m having a problem with is Euchre. The first thing [and I have to say it’s only my opinion] is the rule where when the bid goes around twice the dealer has to name trump. This reduces the game to one of pure luck and a skillfully played game can be won or lost based solely on luck.I would love to see this changed to being able to pass and throw the deal in. Other than that the game strategically plays better than any I’ve downloaded, and I havent missed any! I’m so finding it very confusing following the dealing and bidding because it goes soooo fast. I find myself having to study the board before playing just to see who dealt, what trump is and who named it. Also the names identifying the players are placed closer to the opponent than the actual player. I can live with these things because everything else about this is app is the best but I’m hoping these things will be taken into consideration, especially if there ore others agreeing with me. I’ve gotten hooked on gin rummy and again I love how it plays. I only wish I could arrange my cards as I’m playing. It’s difficult to know what to draw or discard when the cards in my hand are so mixed up.

This is a lot of fun!! I can’t put it down…and since there are literally no ads it gets an A+ in my book. Fine tuning suggestions for Rummy [iPhone]:: Make cards and buttons a little larger. In other words, fat finger friendly. And move the buttons higher up so I can see the cards underneath it. Make the color coding for tricks easier to see. Make the scores easier to see at a glance. The game crashes if you close your phone on the pause menu. This is all I have time for right now, I’d be happy to give more feedback if it’s needed. Great game! Oh, and can you add Pinochle? Keep up the great work!!

Edit… 2/4/22. The game cheats to win. Playing Gin Rummy, the computer still had cards in its hand when it knocked and it gave itself Gin points. Also. It can’t do basic math. I had A,A, 2 it had A,A after the knock and awarded itself 4 points.

I would have thought bicycle would have the right rules if anyone would but spades doesn’t subtract for missing your bid. The ai is also extremely bad - my partner missed his bid every single hand except the one hand I went nil; and unfortunately nobody plays online so I have to play with bots. It’s also missing an undo function for those with fat fingers like myself but I’d understand leaving that out (vs bots only obviously). There is also no resume function so if you don’t finish a game you don’t get to continue later. There are also no options for rule variants or speeding up moves - which means sometimes you are moving too fast for the game. I’d also love stats for bot games; there may be stats for multiplayer but I haven’t found a single person to play with.

The good things are the game is crisp - it looks and sounds good. There are zero ads which is a huge win for it. I honestly wouldn’t even play it anymore if it weren’t for that. They appear to be adding more games so it’s nice to have a central hub for my card games. The game as private games as well.

TLDR; it’s a good start but has a ways to go to become my primary card game app.

They still haven’t fixed the crash issues. It can take a while to put a game together still, and even if it’s put together, high chances you will see not all players connected, or oops something went wrong, even while playing players just disconnecting ending game. Ai playing while waiting for a game…..very cheesy. Don’t Ai play spades, the bids offer by computer are obviously totally random and do not reflect anything held in your partners hands. They can bid 0 with A,K of spades 🙄or bid 7 and literally 0 face cards on any suit. If you have bid Nil, your partner will not be covering for you if they already took their bids. Meaning they bid three, they take three, it’s over for them trying to take bids. They could either spade a hand to save you or or play a higher card to save you and the nil bid for the team, but won’t and only play lowest non winning option for them possible at this point. They need to fix way too much still. People keep giving it 5stars for the appearance of the games. Looks smooth and better than most, but the actual play and connectivity are among the worst. I don’t care if the car looks nice, pointless and useless if it doesn’t run or has too many mechanical issues…….

I really do like this game as a concept. Here are my issues with it.
1. There aren’t enough players to play against other people, I think if there are 3 and need to be 4, maybe an AI can fill in, instead the 3 can sit there and wait forever, but most of the time it’s just the player sitting solo waiting, so why bother trying to play others at all.
2. The only way to play any game is to play the AI, and the AI only plays one way. IE, in Gin, the AI always goes for the lowest card, so it’s kinda easy to win if you have face cards. Gets very boring quickly.
3. The AI will knock every time. Yet here’s the thing. The AI will knock say with an Ace, and Player also has an ace, rules are that would be an undercut! Nope not in this game . All of a sudden the AI is getting a BIG GIN. Like what the heck??!! And it happens over and over when the AI gets undercut. Why are you cheating in this game when seriously you have nothing to gain but only players to lose. It’s very frustrating. I’ll try again maybe in a few months see if you fixed your cheating game, for now I’m deleting and warning others. Don’t play this game till the developer fixes there scam game

I actually as a whole love the interface of this game. I love the vibes, the variety, the aesthetic. But it’s getting two stars from me until this one major issue is fixed: I will play solitaire for literal hours some days. I love the idea of a ranked solitaire game, but I think it’s inappropriate to have ranked play when the system itself is so broken. I love that there’s an undo button, but the undo button gets mixed up constantly—it completely rearranges the order of the deck (I play 3-card, which means the order of which card is on top is SUPER important), causing me to lost access to cards that I accidentally clicked away, but even more problematic—clicking the undo button several times in a row often allows you to access cards you did not earn. I’ve tested this on multiple friends devices. Essentially, in ranked solitaire games, if you undo enough you can cheat your way to victory.
Fixing this or removing the undo button in ranked games all together (as much as I love undoing) will be enough for me to move from two to five stars immediately.

The bot play is fine other than the fact that, as others have pointed out, the Spades’ points are not correctly counted. My biggest issue is the public play which is limited to Spades and Hearts. There are only 4 rounds, which is not that big of a deal - but not realistic with typical card playing. The biggest issue is that any player can leave at any time. The issue there being that there is an overall, cumulative point total for every player which is only affected by wins & losses. So someone can start playing and if the game goes south for them, they can leave the game without penalty. One would think that is another team leaves, they forfeit. But no. They just get to leave. They do not lose points and you do not gain points. It’s ridiculous. This App should amended by forfeiting the game if you leave - whether it’s due to connection issues or embarrassment. It ruins the game to allow no consequences for running away like a baby because you are losing a free online game.

Hey devs, The cheating is defeating the purpose of having a ranking system since All the top ranked guys I played leave the match when losing. There’s no penalty given for a player disconnecting mid game. There should be. Internet connectivity is widely available and if it were the case that someone lost connectivity well shame on you for playing irresponsibly. However the cheating IS HAPPENING! If you want to know why the user base is so low, it’s cause there is so much cheating. Fix it and I will praise your app up and down, you can build a user base, continue to reinvest in and develop the app further and succeed in bringing classic card games into the homes of people across multiple generations, including new ones! The app is gorgeous, truly! It is smooth and fast loading, but I implore you for the success of the project, fix this exploit. If this isn’t fixed you’ll have zero player base. However, I’m starting to think you like it this way. If you fix it make it widely known cause you’ll get players back, otherwise it’s a beautiful app for no purpose other than some niche group who favor cheating to get ahead.

Thank you for this app. Enjoy playing with others but have found that when playing in a public game with someone who is ranked on the leaderboard, if they are going to lose the game or have a particularly difficult hand to play, they will simply disconnect in order not to lose ranking points. This action appears to have no consequences. I find this very frustrating and unsportsmanlike. If you choose to play with another player vs bots one should be required to play the entire game or lose rank for quitting. I realize at times one may lose connection and thus game ends early but this does not seem to be the case in the games I have played as the ranked player will disconnect after losing the hand and be in jeopardy of losing the game and losing points in rank.

Very pretty interface. Nice card designs, including the retro styles. Public games often lack enough players, and the bot does not fill in. In Hearts and Spades the bots are dumb and it gets very boring after a few games. The algorithms for scoring in public games are a black box and change without notice. Currently a low ranked player gets more points for losing in 2nd or 3rd than a high ranked player gets for winning. No explanation of how the scoring works and for what purpose. The dealing of cards in public games is suspiciously non-random. You will have winning and losing streaks, apparently to get players hooked and keep coming back like an addict to the roulette table. Very bad communications from the developer — as in none. Frequent problems with all players connecting in public games. The public games should allow morn communication options between players- the drop down list of reactions is tiny and extremely limits any feeling of community.
