![]() ![]() It is not a game you can do a turn and then wander away - it expects you to actively be playing the card game, I believe. This game has a "Single Player" mode you can practice with until you're better at it, too, though I've yet to have a real player stay for the entire 10-point game in the multi-player mode. If you win, though, you get 4 points, I believe. Always choose Partnered unless you have a really really good hand (both bowers, for example, and high valued off-trump cards.) Going alone means your partner sits out and you have to do it alone. (You can "Pass" or "Make trump" whatever suit you think you have the best cards for.) When you make/order trump, it will ask if youw ant to "Go Alone" or "Partnered". If everone passes that card that was turned up, then it goes through all the players to see if anyone wants to declare trump. If yu are the dealer and someone else "Orders you up" you have to pick that card up and discard another in your hand. The Pass/Order Trump options are whether you think you have a good enough hand to make that particular suit trump. When the game first starts, the dealer turns up a card - say the 9 of Diamonds. If the other players called trump and you win with 3+ tricks, you get 2 points. Also the concept of "bowers" - when trump is chosen, say to Hearts for this example, the Jack of Hearts becomes the "right bower", which is the highest card in the game for trump, and the Jack of Diamonds (the other suit of the same color as trump) is the "left bower", which is only below the right bower in terms of power.īasically there are 5 cards you get and 5 tricks possible in each hand - if your team takes at least 3 of the 5 tricks, you get a point. The trick is to get your head wrapped around the concept of a "trump suit" - whatever suit is trump, if played in a trick, will "trump" all the others even if it is a 9 of the trump suit and the highest card of the other suit is an Ace. I imagine there are more in-depth lists of rules online. There is no Tutorial that I can find, though there is a "How to Play" section that lists the rules and strategies. Hoping to maybe contact the developer regarding the oddities, as with a few tweaks this would be extremely accessible! Otherwise, it's fairly easy to figure things out. I find it easy to ignore them, though since the pertinent information is read out automatically by VO. There are a lot of random labels that say "Pass" or "+2" or "+1" - I am assuming these are listings of what each player did last, though the order is wrong for VO. I noted if I double tapped on the message that said "You get 2 points for winning" after an online/multi-player game, it popped up an option to Disconnect. ![]() I can't seem to figure out how to properly exit the game after ending play or disconnecting an online play. Just look for buttons that say "Make " in the name and tap on them. The list of suits to set as trump show up as something like "Make Hearts Trump", etc., though it seems to run together with the name of the players. Pass/Order Trump show up as buttons, though they have plain text labels next to them - ensure to tap on the button ones. I find if you lift your finger away from the screen and touch somewhere in the middle of the screen and then swipe left/right it will find them (I am assuming this is a popup or something that VO needs to try to focus on.) Usually with a few seconds I can find it. Sometimes the buttons to Pass/Order Trump or to choose trump do not seem to show up right away when you swipe left/right. If you do a two finger swipe up to get to the top of the screen, it will list the current scores (the 2 teams are 'Red' and 'Black' - I find your team is usually 'Black'. They are not noted as buttons, but are tappable. Your own cards are listed at the very bottom when you swipe all the way right. If you swipe left/right, you can remind yourself which suit is trump and what cards have been played (the cards that have been played are nearer to the top.) It notifies other things, too, such as when you or the other team gains a point/points, if someone "goes alone" and the current # of tricks the team has. It also notifies you when it is your turn by simply saying "Your turn" Also notifies you/reads out whether each player passes or orders a player up (IE "Computer passes" or "Partner says pick it up") Also reads out automatically who is the dealer when a new hand starts. Moves are read out automatically (IE "Computer plays Ace of Spades", "Partner plays King of Spades", etc.) There are a few quirks to get used to, though this is fully accessible (I am assuming by accident - I am not sure!)
