Started glitching. The more I play the more problems I have. It will skip my play or stop half-way through a play. I was wining a hand and I ended up -6 for no tricks. It's frustrating.

Dealing is far from lifelike. Picker and partner have high trump almost always. Played this game for 40 plus years...this game is not at all like real cards. Boring!!!

I wish you could pull a played card back....but otherwise this is the best Sheepshead game out there!

I am new to the game and am marrying into a family of lifelong players. With all the options in the settings of the game , I can make it easier play just like the family does (ĺeasters, anyone?). With the voice reading the plays, "suggest play" turned on, and doing a replay after the game, I will get the hang of this yet! Awesome game, worth every penny.

Totally setup b's game. Need expert help for the programmer who has no clue how to play. Horrible.

If your a good player, you'll hate this game. The computer does not play fair. Computers ace will walk much more often than yours. Computer (in the last chair) will throw a small denomination card on your trick and then drop an ace of the same suit on pickers trick the very next hand even though he's not partner. Its pretty clear the computer knows who you are and what cards are in your hand before they are played. It's a shame because I've been looking for a good, fair sheepshead game for awhile. Thought this was it. Nope!

Good game

99% of the time computer picker and/or partner have top 2 queens. Called ace walks 75% of time for computers. Computer picker will lead off suit knowing partner will have trump for the trick

Pro: Amazing experience and kills a lot of time! By far the best sheepshead game ever made, spend the money. Only con: It's pretty clear the computer always knows who the partner is before the first card is laid, but that's alright.

After waiting literally years for a 5 handed sheepshead game for android, finally we have one. And its very, very good. The programmer answers questions in a prompt manner. The AI is pretty good. Worth every penny. Yes, its actually pretty pricy vs many of the android aps, but I'm glad i spent the money.
