GREAT Online Game Site
August 18, 2022

I have been using the CardGames.io since the beginning, and I love it. Never a problem, and when I write I'm always answered quickly.

WHOLE LOTTA FUN
June 15, 2021

THE ONLY GAME SITE I GO TO. WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE? I am ecstatic when i tie a record and amazed when I break one. I am just simple folk and I really enjoy playing these games. I often wonder if I am playing against someone I know.

Statiscally improbable
January 23, 2022

Cribbage and Yahtzee games are manipulated. You either get a pathetically easy win or Bill has statistically unlikely hand/throws.

I always go for multiplayer games.

I don't know that this is deliberately rigged or just bad programming. I think the actual graphics of the cards are some of the best I have ever found because they are not over-run with annoying movements and distracting sounds of cards shuffling. Some games go way overboard and nearly give me motion sickness. However, spades and hearts don't act right at times. If think I have seen my own partner low-ball me during a Nil bid causing me to take a hand, when they could have dealt a higher card to help me out. And hearts ticks me off sometimes. The game will make sure you get the queen of spades come hell or high water. I've notice that the queen is always to my left waaaaay too often so if I take a chance and throw the Ace or King as the 3rd player in the sequence, 9 times out of 10, the queen will get played from the left. Also, I have seen toooo many times where the 2,3, and 4 of diamonds are scattered evenly and the other player doesn't have a diamond, but just so happens to have the queen of spades and plays it then. Too predictable and comes off as rigged.

Cheating
December 20, 2021

Your review is good and there are limitations with playing against the computer, I can live with that. The difficulty with the Yahtzee game is that it becomes obvious after playing a few times against real world opponents that some can obviously manipulate the game and produce great throws that defy all statistical logic. If you've experienced this you'll know what I mean. I understand that its human nature when you're losing to assume your opponent is cheating but some of the things I've seen spoil the entire experience for honest players and I cannot trust the site. Generally a lazy avatar plus a troll type name referencing Trump or covid will be accompanied by over confident goading from the very start then either great throws from very beginning to the end or a double Yahtzee when you're well up on the opponent at the end. This is only where its obvious, I don't know how many payers resort to this more sparingly. The site needs to be tweaked to prevent this or the game has no creditability. I and many others will stop playing and the site will become untenable, a real shame.

Excellent choices of card games to play and I play the app everyday. Bill can be tough, but it's a FREE site. Lots of choices.

First off, i dont play cribbage as i think it's a bit of a rubbish game so i cant comment on it.

I do play most of the others though, both against the computer and some against real people.

I've only once won at reversi as i'm rubbish at it.

My results for yahtzee are about 50/50 which one might expect.

I play bil sr at chess and win most of the time. I'm too scared to play real people.

I win against all three bot players in thirteen 60- 66% of the time but against people only about 30% of the time.
I win at war 50% of the time but raely play it as it's boring.

I can beat lisa most of the time at spit but never against bill, i'm too slow.

I win about 57% of the time but it's taken a while to find a strategy to do so.

Hearts is brutal but i win 44%% of the time. Better than the 25% you'd expect if we were all equal.

Euchre i play against people and there are some really great players out there. Get four people who know how to play the game and it's great. It takes a long time to learn the game properly, years.

Spades is a great game, again i play against people. Unlike euchre there are a lot of idiots that play and disappear off at the first hint of losing. I only play the ticked tables to try and avoid the no hopers.

I play against bill at gin and win 64% of the time.

So, as you can see, none of the games i play are rigged and therefore think these poor reviews are by the same idiots that disappear when playing spades thinking the cards are rigged.

There are a few niggles with the site. It will disconnect me occasionally in the middle of a game

The site sometimes takes my tick away for no apparent reason.

If i restart my computer all my statistical data is lost.

I hope people find this helpful.

Often I can call out the cards "Bill" will play no matter the circumstances or what is on the board, as long as it brings him a 15,31, or 3 of a kind or straight &c. "Bill" ALWAYS has a five as well, especially when the cut card is a 10 or face. Thumbs Down City. I'm not a Cribbage expert but good grief.

Cribbage is rigged.
April 7, 2019

After having played at least thirty games of cribbage on this site, I was unable to win more than one. I'm not some kind of cribbage newbie. I'm not amazing, but I have been playing for several years. This game will let you get ahead a little bit in the beginning, but will get a series of improbably convenient pegging cards, followed by a ridiculous crib. Or it lets you stay ahead until the end, then gets a 20+ point hand and instantly wins the game. It's just too convenient, and doesn't match the win/lose ratio I have against real people. I can't really speak for any of the other games, but the AIs in pinochle are also a bit too lucky, which combined with the idiocy of your partner bot, makes the game unwinnable.

I play yahtzee and spades. I learnt to play spades from the bots, once I started playing the online option I quickly learned the bots play terribly, but it did help me learn how to play so no problem there. My complaint is it often kicks me out of the room, or says connection error. It counts down then I'm out but, then I can start a new game immediately, now that sucks. Yahtzee, great game but rematches often freeze and you cant play so have to exit. I hate losing my tick because of a fault that kicks me out. (The tick rooms are less likely to have players who quit due to being a sore loser)
I love this site, this game is my addiction, hope the frustrating parts get sorted.
It is a free site so I should just suck it up.

Never go Never in your life go Going = Big mistake IT IS THE WORST! No matter how many times you play, any game except for solitaire, you lose. They make you think you will win, but let your opponent, bill win. Its definitly RIGGED! I have won a few times, but that was only a few.

Rigged
April 2, 2018

This game is rigged. No matter how good you play or far you get ahead, you will still lose. Sure, you will get a few wins so you keep coming back but in the end it is rigged and it is clear.

IT SUCKS DONT GO
July 8, 2018

NEVER GO TO THIS SITE FOR GAMES YOU WILL LEGIT NEVER WIN :( as a competitive person losing isn't really an option so it kind of sucks to continue losing. Even if you weren't competitive losing still sucks which is why you shouldn't use this site.
