Spite and Malice

Difference between levels 2 & 3 AI difficulty is MASSIVE. Lv2 is boring. Lv3, the game cheats like it's going out of style. I watched it bait me with cards I didn't need, trying to tank my carefully constructed discard piles. Just now, I tested it by blocking the second card I needed to make a run and, wouldn't you know it...the one card I needed is suddenly dealt to me, but I CAN'T USE IT because I blocked that next card with a discard. Cheat. The AI can go on winning runs constantly. Unfair.

It plays mostly great. Level 2 AI will always play to benefit itself and block you when it can, but can be foolish with it's discards and sometimes leave windows of opportunity for you. Level 3 AI was a huge let down. Instead of becoming a smarter opponent, the Level 3 setting deals the deck in favor of the AI, giving you few to no wild cards, leaving you about 10 cards behind the AI for the entire game. Play on level 2 or on Random if you want a fair match.

Fun game but the ai definitely cheats, you can tell because it will often wait to play the pay off pile until the end of it's turn, however the ai never cuts itself off from playing the next card revealed from the pay off pile which would normally happen somewhat frequently, this indicates that the ai knows at least a limited number of upcoming pay off cards. The ai needs an upgrade, even on hardest difficulty it doesn't plan very well, too easy.
