Pros and cons of Barbu - trick-taking card game app for iPhone and iPad
Barbu - trick-taking card game app good for
I have loved this game for years. Each individual game is easy to understand and learn. To be good at all the games is the challenge.
The interface is simple and elegant. It took me a few moments to understand the symbology of the different games, and I knew what they were. I can only imagine someone who has never played the game being somewhat confused at first. Now that I understand them, I really like them.
I am playing this on an iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 and it does crash. It seems to happen right at the conclusion of a round. I havent made it through all 28 hands yet before a crash.
Other than the crash this game looks and plays very well. Once the crashing problem is corrected, this game will be played often. It is definitely a 5 star app with 4 stars for now.
Good game, keeps you thinking, hard to master all. Only 4 stars due to crashing issue.
Hi,
I have love this game for many years. And now, i can play one ofmy favorite game on the iPad. Easy to play yet hard to win ... Dont hesitate to buy it ... You wont regret it ... 5 stars all the way ...
Great way to waste an hour. No crashing problems, but I do wish they would fix the glitch that happens when playing for no-kings. As we can assign new names, this is the only time I can beat my wife at cards.
Five stars!
A game that I was not familiar with. Its quite unique and very well done. If you have any interest in cards whatsoever then I can highly recommend it.
Great game, pretty graphics but it needs more difficulty settings. Winning every game gets old quick. AI is fairly weak, for example the computer leads the 13th card of a suit on no tricks... not very bright.
Some bad moments
Crashes after about 20 rounds.... Played immediately after downloading and it crashed....I reset my iPad and tried again...same thing... 20 rounds or so and poof. Please fix and youve got a 5 star from me. :(
Would like this game a lot if it was stable. I have not yet been able to finish a full game on my ipad2
This is a really good game, but it does not go through all 28 deals in the game but rather quits before the game finishes. When you start back the game starts all over and the previous unfinished game is lost.
Get this fixed and it will be the best 99cents spent here
Lots of fun playing a series of card games. Keeps me occupied for a long time!
I love this game! Havent had any trouble with it crashing, so I cant speak to that, but my only tiny issue is that its just slightly too easy! Maybe add an option for harder AI? Winning is great, but not every single game!
It was crashing at first on my 3rd gen iPad, but the latest release has fixed that. I love Hearts and this is like Hearts on steroids. Very addictive.
