8 of 11Not yet, but the promise is there. I'd like to see more of the Jass variants added to the adaption of the game.
I learned how to Jass on a visit to Austria, years ago. Then discovered it was the fore-father of a game we always played in the States, called Euchre. I have since been spreading the word and teaching everyone I know about this challenging, complex, yet deeply satisfying game. Being away from Europe most of the time, I have craved such an app for my iphone. At last here is one. And it's fantastic! Exquisitely designed and well thought-out, given the many afore-mentioned complexities. My only complaint would be one that ultimately can't be remedied until the Austrians make a contribution; that there would be a version with the terminology and cards I learned with-- Laub, Schell, Goss, Bock, usw... And of course, some of the drama that one always encounters in a real game-- the congratulations and dissapointments for Stich, Match, Gegenmatch and the hub-bub associted with such declarations-- is missing. But, hey, I understand! This game is a serious accomplishment given how incredibly varied it is, in real life, from country to country, region to region, dorf to dorf. Well-done!
V1 worked well. V2 crashes randomly, most often when I choose trump playing Shieber Chicane 2500. Bummer! Please fix the bugs! Love the new addition of Swiss German. Update: consistently crashes with iPhone 4.... Bummer again.
Very well made, I love this game!!
I give this three stars because I am playing from the US and can't get online play or create an account. My family has played this game for generations and the rules we play by are a bit different? But game play is the same. Thanks for making the app! My family would love to play with the international group of players if the developers can write us in! I look foreword to playing with you all!
Hi. The computer player makes bad decisions enough of the time to impact the game play. For example in top down or bottom up they may not lead with the best card.
