Dinsun Review
Bezique is a fine game when played with real cards, but this digital version is as soulless as a spreadsheet. The AI is either suspiciously lucky or completely incompetent, with no middle ground. I've seen the computer pull the same four aces three hands in a row on 'Hard' mode, which doesn't feel like a challengeβit feels like a cheat.
The interface is functional but looks like it hasn't been updated since the first iPad. If you're a purist who just needs a way to play a quick hand without setting up a deck, it's fine. But for anyone else, there are dozens of card games on the App Store that offer better presentation and more honest AI.
