Got expelled from a game that never started.

I see the click ticking on thec4th guy but I wait until it hits negative 2 minutes befire doing anything. ai had internet the whole time. I figure he isnt going to show so I hit the cancel game button. N...

Re: Please make accept button on arena games

I just got a karma hit because apparently i launched Arena mode for Hearts when I was setting my phone down. I pick up my phone an hour or so later and see that I had apparently joined and been expelled from a Hearts game. I would like a profile option to not even get the "Play a game in Arena ...

Re: Change to Nil Bonus?

I agree that 200 for blind nil with passing is absolutely insane. A very valid strategy is to set yourself early to give the opponents some bags and go down by 100 and then shoot past them with a blind nil...assuming you could look yourself in the mirror after perverting the game so extremely.

6 bag rule

The 6 bag rule feels off to me somehow. Its better than 10 bags in a 300 point game but not as good as 10 bags in a 500 point game. I think it has to do with how many bags you can get in a single hand as a percentage of what triggers the penalty.

Wondering what u guys think?

Going nil when your partner goes nil

I wonder when you guys think it is appropriate to bid nil if your partner has bid nil. I can only see it as a last ditch move if your opponents have bid like 11 or 12 between them. It happened to me today (my partner bid nil after I did) and I became very frustrated with my partner. I feel like I ha...

Teamwork abuse in odds play

I played an interesting game with the odds variant today. Black was in last place most of the game but lo and behold, black won. What was interesting is that 5 of the 6 players bet black at all three stages. It seemed a little suspicious so I looked at some histories. These same 5 players consistent...

Re: Multiple Yahtzee

I played a guy today that got 2 Yahtzees and he scored the second one as a large straight. That seems a little broken to me. I feel like the second yahtze should be scored in a legit space- top section or 3,4 of a kind, possibly full house. Chance would always be fair. Scoring it as a large straight...

In Hearts, is it OK to let someone shoot if that helps me win?

Today I had the good fortune to have a 28 point lead on the field and two people were under 10 points. I passed something like AK10 of diamonds to the player on my right, not really caring if it might help him shoot the moon since that would still be a win for me. During play, the first time I had a...

Re: Leaving a game with abusive language

Thank you for cancelling my leave penalty. That does seem like a fair way to handle it, and I understand it takes time. Please accept my apologies.
