Description

Welcome to the Official State Domino game of Texas! Texas 42 is a trick taking game similar to bridge or spades. Invented in the late 1880s, it has become a tradition across generations of players. The sole motivator for the development of this app has been to create an AI that doesnt make the users wish they spent their 2 dollars on a soda instead of frustrating computer play. Much work has been made into creating an AI that makes the same moves you would. Since you dont have the same play style as everyone else, you can set each computer player to have one of 3 specified play styles "Conservative", "Normal", or "Aggressive". You can mix and match these styles as you see fit and can change them at any time in the game. A conservative player will tend to bid lower than the rest of the players. Its main focus when it has the lead is to draw all the trumps in play before moving on to non-trumps. If the conservative player does not have the highest trump, it will tend to lead with a junk/punt tile to draw out the higher ones, while holding on to tiles with count until it knows it can win with them. A normal player will tend to bid higher than a conservative player. Its main focus is holding on to its trumps for cases where count is on the table. If it does not have the highest trump it will tend to attempt to punt to its teammate. An aggressive player is a mixture of the two. It tends to push the bid to 31 or 34-36 with weaker hands than the other two and is more willing to bid marks if it has a strong hand. It is also willing to lay down trumps with 5 counts in an effort to draw out the ones covering the 10 count. Its more willing to play count at risk of hoping its partner will win the trick. For bidding purposes, your partner will respond to your bid. If you bid 30, you are indicating to your partner that you have a helping hand and it will be much more likely to outbid an opponent win the bid. ----------------------------------------------------- Heres what some beta testers have had to say about the app: "The AI has been impressive for me so far, not a single play that Ive seen has been stupid yet and Ive probably played around 10 games. Very solid game for my experience" "I really like your idea of the different styles of play and I think you are pretty close to that reality." "To date it is the best one out there. I have never felt like I was playing true 42 on the other apps."

Great game!

Yaniv11111 · 9 years ago · v4.2

This is similar to the rules I learned to play and is a good time killer! Im impressed with the AI on the computer players

It is just ok

beeburgess · 9 years ago · v4.2

This game makes some really stupid plays. We have the bid we have all of the trumps. My partner draws all of the trumps out of my hand then leads the 4-1 when he does not have the 6-4. Sometimes trumps my double lead and then play an off. It seems to be getting worse as the updates are added. The game is getting worse instead of better. It is worse over time. A beginner would not make some of the stupid plays this game makes.

Best game ever!!!

I thought it would be a normal game but its not you should bye it

Can not believe I paid for this

moosenut245 · 9 years ago · v4.3

Your game allows trump to be held when played by other. It also does not accurately track dominos played. I have played 85 games and have been set when I play trump and the opponents play offs until it see and advantage. I have also seen where a domino is played and yet I still hold it. I have screen shots of both. My computer partner plays every hand differently making it impossible to follow what it might do, my partner holding back trump and count. It also allows my partner and the opposition to play whatever domino they like in place of domino suit that is lead.let me know when you truly work out the bugs so I can download and try the game again.

Love the update!

The new leaderboard is great. Thank you for working to keep this app fresh.

The best Texas 42 app!

Fun game and great to play with friends and family. The AI is outstanding, and the visuals are very well done. This is the best Texas 42 app out there!

Great Game

Please add Sevens as a trump option. Why can I never find a multiplayer game.
