King Online trick taking game 17+

Great Game! Quick ads

I love this game!! it’s a combo of different games...so it really twists my brain to switch gears between taking hands and avoiding things.
Most great games are ruined by crazy ads, but the ads in Kings aren’t too often and can all be easily skipped which is great :)

Great Game; Could Be Better

I’ve been playing Barbu for years, and play King almost daily. I think the scoring can be improved in several ways. First, every hand should be worth about the same as every other hand. There is no need for Queens to total -6 and Losing Tricks to total-13. Second, I would not bonus people who take no (negative) tricks (or penalize someone who takes no (positive) tricks. One should be bonused if one outperforms the declarer and the declarer should be penalized for underperforming another player. Third, the nice thing about Barbu was that it was a zero-sum game; King should be too. Fourth, I loved FanTan. Can’t that be added back into King?

Rules are incorrect

You lose points for taking 0 tricks on a positive round. You can’t sluff anything but hearts in the “No hearts” round. You must play a trump card if you have a void in any suit led in all positive rounds. Anyone who plays trick taking games seriously knows these rules to be ignorant and nonsensical. Scoring is extremely punitive. Full minute of video ads which cannot be skipped or pay to not endure after each 40-second round of gameplay. Crashes a lot. This is an exercise in frustration for players.
