Mü App Reviews

Excellent implementation of an excellent card game.

This is an excellent example of how Apple devs expose card games to the App Universe in a well-executed game that serves to promote the game as well as provide some clean and complex gameplay.

If you have found what you believe is a bug in Mü, PLEASE send email to me, the developer (steve-at-housefullofgames-dot-com). Or you can follow the support link for the email address. I respond to each and every email that I receive and if anyone reports a bug that I can reproduce, I promise to address it in a future release.

This is a great game and could be 5 stars if it wasnt for several occasions when the computer us dealt highly preferential hands just when you are about to win and just now one of the computer players didnt even follow suit when they should even though they had the relevant suit!

once I learned the general gist of playing this game I had a lot of fun and it can be quite addictive! I have only two suggestions to consider - one is to have a running tally of each players score on the screen while they are playing...instead of having to turn the phone sideways each time you want to check the score. And the other suggestion would be to add a section on bidding advice/strategies in the "how to play". I would highly recommend this game, particularly to those folks who like bridge, euchre, spades, or other bidding card games!

Being a die-hard card game fanatic, my first two app purchases with my iPad were Tichu and Mu. Ive now played a couple of hundred hands of each, and while the bloom is off the rose on Tichu, Mu continues to impress and challenge me. The AI here is outstanding (I consider myself a good player, and I only win about 30% of the time on the hard AI), and I think the game has helped improve my bidding immensely. My only quibbles: 1) The pauses between moves are too long. You can tap to continue in most cases, but it still seems like it drags along 2) Need a better indication of the teams, particularly in the 5-player mode. The shades in the name boxes are a bit too subtle 3) The bidding controls are not at all intuitive-- Now that Ive played enough it works, but it took me a very long time to get used to the "tap the arrow by the next player to continue". Still, a great game, well implemented.

Bought yesterday after a fruitless search for Rook on the iPad ... This seems to be closest. BUT I cannot get the Shake A Hint thing to work ... My iPad just rotates its screen around and I get no hints, which I could sorely use. Any secret to making this feature work in iPad?

Outstanding card game we play all the time - wish it were back in print as the cards are getting worn. Anyway the port is outstanding.

I bid 3 or 4 and win 5 books worth supposedly 1 or 2 points each but somehow missed my bid?? The rules do not explain how scoring works. Also, why does my partner always cut me or force me to cut them especially when im chief and chose trump to begin with!???

I really wanted to like this but it just isnt as fun as Tichu. Very nicely designed and good instructions - well developed. A good iPad version of the classic Rook game (which is similar but with regular cards) would be awesome...

Ive got a lot of games on my iPad. This is the first review Ive written. I love this game. It is fun, challenging and interesting. I like the bidding process and how some hands( depends how bidding goes) you play with a partner against other players and some rounds you play against the partners alone. The tutorial will smooth you right into play. I play with 4 virtual players almost every day.

Downloaded this after reading the sparkling reviews and now Im adding one of my own: FANTASTIC game, which I hadnt heard of before (along with Tichu, also fantastic). The one thing I would suggest: add some sound, particularly music - this would really add to the atmosphere of the game, the way the music for Tichu does.

Where is this "Shake a Hint"? I mean, you go to the trouble of trademarking it and mentioning it repeatedly in the tutorial, but where is it? Im sure I would enjoy this game but this is frustrating!

Major request, easy fix!!!!! Please add a hint button so we dont have to shake for the hint. Very embarrassing on a plane and hassle when playing in stand on desk. One just like you have for Tishu. Thanks

It appears that the strategy of the game occurs during the beginning phase (bidding part). After that, it comes down to which team can create more winning tricks. Also, teams are created during the beginning phase as well... Like I said, confusing.

Since the iOS 8 update MU no longer works

The engine for this game is full of misplays. It takes a great game ruins it by making bad plays.

Update...this game has been updated and no matter how many times you click on the disabled tips button, once you start the game again the tips come back. Then when I change the settings to move the game from normal to fast that only lasts for that time while the games open when I go to open it back up again later its back to the normal speed. I get that they are not probably going to be making any corrections but I sure wish that they would. ——————— This is a great game and excellent alternative for Rook, which doesnt seem to yet be available as a computer/ipad game. The only downside Ive come across is that the game sometimes ends before any player reaches 400 points (my setting). Most recently for me the high score was 378 when the game ended. Please fix!
