This version of French Belote is a fantastic digital port of one of France's most popular card games. If you've never played, it's a trick-taking game similar to Bridge or Euchre but with its own unique flair and 'Belote-Rebelote' bonuses. The AI in this app is surprisingly competent, making it a great place to practice your strategies before heading to a real table.
The UI is traditional and respectful of the game's roots, with clear card markings and an easy-to-follow scoring system. For anyone looking to reconnect with a piece of French culture or just looking for a deep, strategic card game that isn't Poker, this app is an excellent choice.
Authentic French Belote rules
Advanced AI for single-player mode
Customizable game settings and difficulties
Smooth animations and traditional card art
Comprehensive scoring system
The game begins by turning up a card to determine the potential trump suit. Players must decide whether to 'take' or 'pass' based on their hand strength.
Players must follow suit if possible. The goal is to win tricks containing high-value cards to reach the point threshold for your team.
It is a bonus of 20 points awarded if a player holds both the King and Queen of the trump suit and announces it during play.
The developers did a good job with this game. However, it’s frustrating how if you leave the screen for even a second (like if you are responding to a text message) you will get disconnected from the game. My husband and I like to play together, but if we don’t change our lock screens to 2 or more minutes or one of us is responding to a text, the game is ruined.
Overal it's quite a decent game. The AI is not perfect, but honorable. I wish there was a "replay option", and possibly a "hint" button for beginners. The biggest pet peeve is that the AI doesn't seem to take into account the knowledge gained from the announces. My partner made the most bone headed move that prevented us from making them capot.
Although I paid it keeps stopping I am really upset
The game is amazing and I've been playing with that game for years. Is it possible to give us the option to load the old interface (before the latest update) it's more professional and more clear that the one released with the latest update.
Everything works right. The options the computer play. Plus the update is amazing makes the gameplay even better and really love the multiplayer modes.
As a beginner with Belote I have not come across an app that is better. The rules make sense and I got going very quickly! How is the AI? I am no expert on play but seems fine. Just wish they had a tiny list of the different rank of cards in trump and non trump. Give it a whirl!
To say that the cards are random is a stretch. I've gone 18 hands without getting a single trump on the draw. I get more trump the easier levels I play. It's a shame the difficulty couldn't be entirely in the AI and leave luck in it.
I love it. Its the best belote in the app store and probably the only one that is translated in English. Its great fast and worth the cash. I would love to be able to customize the board and the cards though. Thanks!
