Post any bugs you find here

Not sure if it's as much a bug as it is AI gameplay, but if the AI controlled team is at a certain threshold (maybe 460-470) and your team is below another threshold (maybe 400) and it's the AI team's deal, your teammate should force them instead of calling.

I thought I had that implemented, but maybe it was something I planned to add, it's been a while since I looked at the calling code but I'll take a look.

AI teammate made a call last night when we were at 494... we ended up losing XD Anyway, it's a small thing.. has only happened twice and really, it's hard to complain when you can play unlimited bish! Thanks again! 

This is a great game by the way

A few options/ thoughts if they help.

We used to play you were “forced” to call at 400+, and you had to ‘win the hand’ to win over all. (Unless both teams at 400).

Being able to select if you want to call Bells or not (you may not want to if you will bate anyway)

If you and your parter both have runs with same high cards (eg both AKQ), they should not cancel as one person would ‘forget” to show if playing in person. If you and opponent, they would cancel.

Only real concern is randomness of deal of high-cards.  Finding opponents get about 75%-80% of A /10 or win them.

Wish my parter didn’t always lead trump if I was forced to call and I may not have J.

If opp 2 plays low trump, I play low or no trump, then opp 1 plays a low trump, often partner will play J, rather than ‘ lowest of its high trump’.Example

Opp 2 -6  

Me       -7

Opp 1 - Q

Partner -J or A.  Will default to J, rather than A as better card to play

I have to agree with Lingan678, in that the cards are not random enough.  I understand that bad hands happen, but I feel that I consistently get worse hands than the opponents.   I find it very frustrating.  

Also, I noticed a couple of times, that my partner would hold onto point cards onstead of putting them on my ace.  Unfortunately, we always end up loosing the points.  

I am very stoked that you created this game, Thank you.

PS it would be helpful to have a property to set the speed for bidding,  playing and showing runs.  I find the bidding very fast and the play too slow.  Some may not agree, so being able to set the speed would be nice.
