Gin Rummy Royale!

Thank you for developing this game, it’s a fun pastime. I’ve been playing it for a while now and my only complaint is there are not enough themes, I have bought what you had and enjoy flipping from one to the other, however, some new ones would add a change of scenery, adding to the enjoyment of the game. One last thing, kudos, kudos, kudos to the person/persons who thought to add moving scenery, it sets your game apart. So, just a suggestion, more themes please. Happy Holidays

I get the sense whoever coded the AI for this game never actually played gin before. It’s like they just Wikipedia’d the rules and then went to work on the AI. You can’t win by actually trying to go out. Just get down to 4 or fewer points and keep going until you get your gin, or more likely, let the AI go down and almost every time you’ll undercut them or they’ll come away with only 2-3 points. I just went through a game without going down once. Undercut them four times. On the harder levels it’s hard to come away with the sense that they just deal the AI better cards. However this isn’t unique to mobile card games, usually the AI is some pretty basic if/then stuff augmented with a cheating dealer. On top of all that, the animations are a bit over the top, the ads are beyond annoying, and the “jokers”... really, does this game need some silly P2P powerup? This developer’s old version was way better.

I've been playing this iteration of gin rummy for the last couple of years. I've tried others but so far always come back to this one. I just went from a Kindle to an iPad so can't really compare the verdins yet but on the expert version on the Kindle I was winning about 60% of my games. I don't know how that stacks up with others or what it says about the IA of the game. I did notice last year that it would sometimes discard a lower card than it kept when it knocked that didn't make a lot of sense. Perhaps that has been corrected in the latest update. Overall, the game plays fast, with no hesitation. I have not attempted to play with others on line although I believe that is possible from looking at the FAQs.
