Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Batak is a staple of Turkish coffeehouse culture, and this mobile adaptation does a great job of digitizing that social energy. It’s a trick-taking game that feels like a cousin to Spades or Hearts, but with its own unique bidding mechanics that require a lot of foresight.
The interface is simple and functional. While it doesn't have the high-end graphics of some modern card games, it runs flawlessly on older devices and the AI is smart enough to keep you on your toes. It’s a great way to learn a game that is beloved by millions, even if you’ve never seen a Batak table in real life.

Ratings & Reviews
Good game
Mon Apr 25 2011 Vince MathewsGame is harder than previous reviewer implied. In auction it is often worth bidding to control the trump suit. I agree that simple mode should have either a bag penalty at 2 or a penalty for 5 or more bags total. Also AI really should be improved. The comp players should try to get their own nil bids. I had one computer pop bid nil with Ace of Spades in his hand. Bad programming! Also comp players never try to set other pops when they bid nils. Still, a good game.
Fun Game
Wed Jul 06 2011 dp of SDBut not perfect. I agree with some previous reviews regarding taking more tricks than bid.
A really fun game.
Tue Jan 06 2009 wraphdAddictive, challenging, surprisingly deep strategy card game. The interface is attractive and functional. I find this to require the perfect amount of challenge and brain power when I am on the train coming home after a long day. Doesn't require the kind of focused energy that Scrabble or timed word games demand, but is definitely not a rote solitaire game, either.
Not too bad
