So basically you’re playing with an idiot and 9 times out of 10 you should be able to knock or call Gin before it. The next highest card he had in his hand was a six. OK well you could say maybe it didn’t go with this hand, well I called Gin and There was no reason for him to let those 3 nines to go. He picked it up, and then later started letting the nines go. And when that happens you have no idea what the card was that you just picked up, it’s not highlighted or anything so you have to sit there and mentally sort through the cards trying to figure out what card you want to discard.Īnd the final problem which I just saw the AI do, Was he had three or four of the nine’s, and then he started discarding them? Because I had discarded them so I knew when I let go of the third one, oh shoot he’s going to have three nines. However maybe that’s not the route I want to go, because of cards that have been let go or cards that I know are dead in the pile. The program then rearranges them to sets (ie 777 and 888) which may be the best for points value.

I have a screenshot.Īnother problem is, if you have two runs going, with two different suits, and you pick up a card. The computer tells you if you have gin, I had no choice but to knock.

There was an instance where I should’ve had Gin and the program did not see it. The first problem, you should be able to manually move your cards around. It’s enough challenge without being frustrating. Meanwhile, I am happy with winning half the time. I may never switch up to that, but if you are able to remember cards already dealt and can figure out what cards the other player has, that setting is for you. There is also an advanced player setting. I am now enjoying the middle or average setting. I started with that but quickly got bored with it because I won every game. The first level is very easy and is for children or beginners.

I like games where I can win at least a quarter of the time. I realize there are players out there who are very good and can remember every card played. Too many times I needed one card to win, but that card didn’t come up until just the moment the other player knocked and won. I accused the game of cheating because (unlike a human opponent) it knows exactly what cards I had in my hand and what cards were still in the deck. That may sound like sour grapes, but it’s no fun to lose all the time. I swore the games cheated because I so seldom won. I have had other Gin Rummy games for my iPad, but they made me too frustrated. 59.3K Ratings A fun game for any level of player
