The UI is well done and generally easy to use. I find the screen a little busy sometimes and a little hard to read. This game bids reasonably well, and its computer players are better than others. It still makes some annoying mistakes, but it does some things well, like it actually counts cards and plays the lowest point winner. Overall, it's a well done game. Since it supposedly has AI, it'd be really cool if it learned, but I don't think it does.

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pinochle. Thank you for your review. The AI uses simulations to estimate the best bids and plays. I does not learn from your plays yet, but we will look into it.

Good game. I only have a couple of issues but they are big ones. #1 , why isn't there an option to play with real people?? That is something I would spend real $ for, Invite your friends to play option.#2 I have the difficulty level for your opponents set at 6, (the hardest) and I still win fairly easy. The only time I lose is when my teammate makes numerous mistakes. Everything else is solid! But playing against real people is what makes this game FUN. A chat option with real players= AWESOME!

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pinochle. Thank you for your review. We are working on improvements to the AI. You can use the Custom AI to make it play a little better than level 6. We are looking into a multiplayer feature. Please contact us at support@neuralplay.com with other features you would like to see.

Too often the computer fails to recognize the meld by one or the other set of partners. It's frustrating because the only option is to abandon the current game and start a new game. This problem arises often. Also, I'd like to play 3 handed but don't see an option for that.

Perhaps you are playing Double Deck with the default rules. In double deck, the default is that you need to 20 points to count and show the meld. Please see Settings - Rules - Minimum meld to show, and set this to 0 (no points). Please contact us at support@neuralplay.com for additional help. Thank you for your review.
