Gin Rummy: Ultimate Card Game

I have been playing this game for years and is 97% flawless. Here’s the irritating part. I can’t pause the game, i.e., to go to the bathroom. This is when playing against another opponent. The opponent gets more time; the game quits on me if I take only seconds. It very occasionally adds the score incorrectly. It sometimes just freezes or quits with the excuse that I have no internet when I clearly do. Sometimes my opponent will just stop playing. Usually when I’m winning.

After hanging out with others my age in a hospital stay I realized none of us knew a single card game when the nurse tried to entertain us. She asked what we knew. And we knew nutin. And that kinda struck me as wrong. My mom tried to teach me but I get more confused. I found this app simple enough to learn from scratch. I appreciated it making you discarded the cards yourself and organize your melds yourself as for a beginner it helps you drill the game concept into your head. You don’t get lazy and forget. The rounds are fair in length. Not so short you didn’t even blink like some apps. I also like the background casino noise though it reminds me of my local retirement homes lunch room lol. It adds to the atmosphere which makes it more fun to someone in my generation. Highly recommend.

I enjoy this game, however, it seems every few games the game will glitch and freeze and just sit there no timer on either opponent but you have to quit and start a new game. This is frustrating because I have lost a lot of games due to this glitch. Also, sometimes you try to draw from either pile and the game glitches and force draws a card from the opposite pile and then will not allow you to discard that card until the next round. Very frustrating when you waited for a card to make a run or you would have had gin with the card that it glitched on. I think I will uninstall and download a different rummy app for these reasons. If you could work the glitches out it would be a nice app but not worth the frustration. Also the game gives way too much time to players to make a decision. I feel that some people try to run the clock on every turn to frustrate the other player into quitting. You shouldn’t have a whole minute to make the other player wait.
