What is Texas 42? Description of Texas 42 2460 chars
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 doesn't 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 don't 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.

Here's 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 I've seen has been stupid yet and I've 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."

Texas 42 Pros
✓ Great game!Updates keep improving. Well worth the cost! Please consider on future updates: an "undo" option (sometimes my big finger hits the wrong domino), "doubles LOW" on Nello; and also -- couple of AI tweeks: Should not consider "count" on bids of 84; and my partner bid two marks (when no other bids had yet been made) when we were already up 6-2 (so, he should have bid only one mark). Thanks for this game!!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Best 42 game I've foundWhile it may not compare to playing with actual people it's far from a bad alternative. The computer logic is good enough. I've played a lot and still enjoy the occasional game months after having purchased the app. Gig'Em Ags!.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Texas 42 Positive ReviewsTexas 42 Cons
✗ Questionable algorithmsI have played 42 for probably 60 years. Both my family and my husbands were huge 42 players. If you have played much this app will drive you crazy. It inappropriately plays trumps - my “partner” will play a smaller one after player to the left plays one. And then won’t play one when the situation calls for it. Plus partner will trump in on a double I have led - then goes set on an off. Go figure. I am moving on from this game - save your money..Version: 5.3
✗ Multiplayer IssuesI’ve been able to complete ONE full game with an invited opponent!! It just won’t work! Needs more tweaking I guess! Love playing against the computer, would really love to play against friends and family that I encouraged to get the app!!.Version: 5.3
