What people like
- Great for learning the game
- Works smoothly without bugs
- Good practice for beginners
What they complain about
- AI partner makes stupid moves
- Partner plays trumps too fast
- No option to play online
- Forced bids always pick blanks
Play
I wish the way players played would be updated. More realistic play would take the game to another level.
Nil option
I purchase this option, but can not figure out how to bid it. I have bid one mark, but there is no option for bidding nil! Give me my money back. I might also suggest you add the near 7 option?
Good practice game
I like that I have the paid version so no ads and it’s uses a low amount of energy to play.
Nice game
Play style need work partner will lead or play 6 4 when he has 6 6 or when the opponent has the trick setting me on both
CPU doesn’t play by book
It’s alright but your CPU partner does not play by the standard rules partners should play by making play confusing and hard. As well your partner will consistently out bid you and lose
Pretty good
My only complaint is kinda big. The smart partner option isn’t smart. The partner makes frequent unforced errors that even the opponents don’t make. For example, leading an unprotected 6:4 when 6:5 and 6:6 or trumps are still out, and calling blanks as trump then leading with blank 5 with blank 6 and double blank is still out. These partner errors (and a couple others) occur even when it should be obvious I don’t have the suit or trumps. The opponents never make such mistakes, so the code exists and should be applied when the smart partner option is checked. Otherwise, the app works well and is fun to play; even better than others I’ve tried.
Computer flaws
The computer does not recognize the trumps somebody can play a double five and the Trump is four and you have one Trump left. They will say you lost the game.! I have been playing this game now for about a year and a half. I wish they would make it realistic like if you’re at the end of the game, maybe there’s two places left. They will give away a double six and a0 one. I would prefer to it to be more realistic, so you could really learn to play. I would like to add. That my Domino’s don't come over to me. I have to touch each one with my finger to get them to move. I paid for a smart partner twice and he's dumber than dirt. you haven't done anything about my partner. He is supposed to be a smart partner. He will be with one Trump. He's losing us every game and I paid for him twice. it's me again and I paid twice just like I told you. For a smart partner. This partner is so dumb he will bid 31 with one Trump and no doubles what is going on. I want my old partner back.!!!!!
Amazing game
I have recently started to play 42 and this game has helped me a lot but wish the bots were smarter and wish you could invite your friends to play with you.
Fun but not too 42 smart
The game as played for free, is so so dumb. Bids with only 2 trumps Will bid with 5 - 0 blind off Plays trumps all the way out first Partner won’t throw you points at time that would be helpful Partner plays points when you likely will lose a trick Etc. etc.
It’s okay
The game moves well and is a good ‘bid based’ challenge. Sometimes my partner makes worse mistakes than I do.
42 domino
Good except it will not let my iPhone 13 log out unless I shut my phone down, hope you fix this bug.
Smart player
I paid for the “smart player” and it is absolutely NOT smart. Don’t waste your time or money playing this game.
Good game up to a point
Solid 42 Dominoes game to train on your own and/or for learning the game. But I have to say it’s only good up to a certain point. I have the full paid version, I’ve played 370 games on hard mode with “smart” opponents and a “smart” partner, and I’ve realized trends in how they play. They do not bet or play hands naturally. When force bet is turned on and it lands on them, they usually always bet on blanks—even if they have the worst blanks of the bunch. Just one example of confusing algorithmic behavior, but maybe I’ve just played past what this app can be used for. I’ve had fun while it lasted—hence 4 stars—but it could be improved. All in all, I’ve had tons of fun, and I’ve trained to the point where I’m confident I can beat my uncle now 🤝
Enjoyed Practicing For Tournament
Good practice. Sometimes the partner makes stupid errors. It did irritate me when my opponent “lost” and he played a trump. The other “players” always exhaust their trumps quickly. I play it for fun and refuse to pay in order to play with “smart” partners.
Very Buggy, Freezes
Has great potential but needs to be updated or something. Difficult to finish a full game before it freezes. Other times it freezes before you can even get started. Lots of great potential, but unfortunately it seems that the app has been left for dead and/or abandoned judging by its updates and current game play.
Good Dominoes Game
It’s a good game except the partner routinely makes stupid moves. An easy example is when your partner draws out ALL of the trumps when the two of you are the only ones with trump dominoes in your hand. This almost always causes you to lose that hand. Another example is when it leads off with the 6/4 domino when neither the 6/6 or the 6/5 has yet been played and then later you see it had a smaller non-count domino in its hand that it could have led with.
Bad Partners
I really was expecting for the developers to make these 2 changes as I see others have the same issue. But nothing has been done, after 6weeks. I’m done. It is so FRUSTRATING. Deleting my favorite game app today. 6 weeks earlier: I paid for a smart partner. There’s nothing smart about it! They lead with a points die when no other die has been played. Also, trumps me even when i already have the trick eon. My percentage is going down and not because of my play. Please get partners that are at least as smart as a human!!!
Ron
Put me online with players
42 is a good game; AI is terrible
Absolutely terrible AI partner. Turns a good game into a bad one
Partner playing
I wish the developers would update the Gabe so the partner would stop throwing trumps as fast as he can. We lose most of the games when the partner has a lot of my trumps because he throws them all first.
Nello
This game would be enhanced a lot if you had the option in going nello and doubles follow doubles. If you look at the rules that is normal play. Please add that feature. Otherwise it’s a great app
AI cheats
I love playing 42 but this app can really get ridiculous. It’s like you against 3. My partner is a complete idiot. This game using AI can really make one’s BP rise. The scoring also is off many times.
Good but flawed
I love playing this game, but the partner playing algorithm has a bug imo. My partner often fails to play count when it’s clear we will win the trick. This bug has cost me the hand many times.
Who programmed this game??
I would play the programmer of this game for one million dollars. They don’t know what they’re doing and I bought the upgraded version so that the computer would play smarter.
Dumb partner
Computer partner makes stupid bids
Enjoyable childhood game.
All that’s missing is the laughter and the groans of my Oklahoma aunts and cousins. Well done!
Partner
When playing forced bid your partner will pick blanks as trumps 95% of the time, even if they don’t have a single blank. When playing forced bid you can count on losing the majority of your partners bid.
Price Hype?
I have been playing this game for some time now. The graphics are large and easy to see on my tablet. I also appreciate that the trump dominoes are highlighted in white. I agree with everyone that the dumb ai partner is really dumb. The partner has made me lose many rounds that we easily should have won. I just purchased the “smart partner” and “difficulty” increase settings today. Will see if that makes a difference. One thing I did notice though, is on the game each individual upgrade feature ranges from $.99 to $1.99. Yet the purchase came through as $2.13…..why is that? Did I miss something like a price increase? Just an update to my original message. The price difference was tax. The smart partner setting helps in play, however the partner is so smart that it passes ever single bid unless it can go for 36. So now I find myself bidding more. The difficulty settings change how your opponents bid. If you put it on hard then it seems the opponents rarely bid at all unless they can win with a 32-42 bid. So I keep the setting on normal. Still enjoy playing. Wish you could play with friends as an option.
Computer
Could you possibly make your partner smarter? I paid extra for a smart partner and he still sucks. When you and your partner are the only 2 with trumps there is no reason for them to play a trump and draw out my last one when they have leads they could play. Dumb partner.
Options
It would be great if you could play the options for free. You have to pay to play nello or Sevens
Partner Trump Play
Pretty solid 42 game out there right now. One issue I do see, in the strategy, is when me and my partner only have trumps, instead of my partner playing doubles to try to get rid of my “off’s”, it immediately comes back out with a trump. I wish it would recognize we are the only one’s with trumps so it should play doubles (or highest of a suit) to help me get rid of my “off’s”.
Very enjoyable and reasonable option prices
The basic mode is great for beginners to learn the game. I prefer playing points mode to extend the rounds. It should go to ALL marks (7) for true Texas mode and the play suggestions on trumps fails to account for count dominoes. Nonetheless.it is still very enjoyable and you can upgrade to play more challenging opponents.
Well done overall for single player
The partner isn’t smart which gets frustrating, but overall the game plays smoothly and isn’t buggy. Seriously lacks multiplayer though which is pay for!
Operates Fine, but…
The computer players automatically default to bidding on blanks in a forced bid unless they have a VERY good hand in something else. That’s even if they only have one blank! I don’t remember, but I think it may also be if they don’t even have one. I played hundreds of games and there is very little challenge now because of that. Another huge problem is that your computer partner will pull your trumps out of your hand even if just the two of you obviously possess all the trumps and even when your partner has doubles! There are other more minor issues, but the previous ones are pretty awful.
Addictive
Very addictive. I play this all the time. Only downside is computer partner makes some bad moves like failing to play a suit double it has in its hand which immediately leads to us losing the hand. Some real bozo moves happen. It doesn’t always play the optimal move. Disappointing.
Jo Jo
Thanks great fun. Teaching me to play better.
BOOOOOOOO!
Boo this game. If you know how to play, you won’t be able to stand it. If you don’t you will learn nothing except maybe how to get your partner to punch you.
Partners Suck
Game is great, your partner sucks. Nonetheless, the game play is relevant and a good teaching tool to learn the game
Partner play is horrific
I’ve purchased the entire game, and it is a fun time waster. But if you’re looking to improve your game, the only way you’ll do that is by having to compensate for the computer partner play. It’s hard to believe that whoever programmed this thought the “strategy” they gave to the computer partner was a valid one. The computer will run out all of your called trumps, even when it is obvious that your opponents don’t have any more. The computer will also get in the lead and throw a domino that can be taken with a 10-count when they have other options. You can eventually get used to the computer’s “habits”, but if you played with someone who did these things in real life, you’d have some words with them afterwards.
The Best Game Ever Played
42 Dominoes really is the best game I have ever played It’s a game that most people have never heard of. It’s a game I learned growing up in Texas and have played and loved this game now for close to 60 years. I wish you could actually play it on line with other players and I wish AI would deal fairly. It gets pretty obvious when every hand your dealt is blanks and ones and no doubles! Other than that if you love 42 as much as I do, you will love this game.
42
Love this game but would like to know how many hands are programmed in to the app. Update: like playing with a 1 year old.
GREAT GAME!
Love and play all the time, but with a few tweaks this app would be perfect. First, a double blank never catches. It’s only a good lead. Lastly, when your partner bids 2 marks count does not matter, save your friggen doubles just in case you get in the lead. Thank so much for the game , if you can make these changes, I would gladly pay for perfection.
Bad partner constantly overbids and goes set. Seems greedy
Partner is overbidding with losses a lot. Overbidding hands
Well written game
A lot of fun, and has helped me learn the game to prep for in person play.
Not pleased
I love to play 42 and the standard partner is dumber than dirt. They say you can buy a smarter partner, but I’m not spending money to buy a partner.
Works well
This app looks nice, works smoothly and intuitively, and seems to play fairly. It has been a good way for me to learn 42. My main gripe is that they want $15 for the paid version with better AI and some other setup options. I’d happily pay $5, maybe even $10, but $15 seems excessive. The following features would be useful: highlight count dominoes; let me move and flip dominoes in my hand to make evaluating it easier; ability to replay a hand.
Forced Bid Always Trump Blanks
When you set this game to force bids, whoever is forced to bid always picks blanks as trump suit - even if they have none in their hand. It doesn’t make any sense at all. Huge bug that needs to be fixed.
