If you're looking for the card game Oh Hell! then this is the app for you! It's got a powerful AI so you'll never have an easy game (I write AIs for a living!) and a huge range of customisable rule options to suit however you've traditionally played the game yourself. The AI players even have emotions and get happy and sad when they think they're going to make their bid or not. You can also play against your friends on their own devices over local WiFi or Bluetooth. For newcomers to the game, Niggle (also known as "Oh Hell") is an easy to learn card game in which you must try to guess how many tricks you are going to win each round. The fun comes from trying to get exactly the number of wins you guessed while stopping your opponents from achieving their target.

Great game! Needs one small tweak…
I have loved this games for years. The ability to configure the rules is fabulous. It lets you replicate the game you grew up with. With one exception… When the trump suit is random, there is no way for “No Trump” to ever be played. In my family, the rule was: If an Ace was turned over as the card to indicate the trump suit, then there would be ‘No Trump’ … instead of the suit of the Ace. It seems like this would be an easy option to add. WDYT?
Inside the game
After playing this for several years, they have really rigged the game against. During the last few months ALL of the hands I see are really crap. In 150 games nothing but hands that are traps appearing appearing that defy any reasonable type of existence. Odds of only one card in a suit with 40 cards dealt must be 1000 to one. No one wants to see hands that are impossible. Those 200+ sets are no longer possible.
Inside the game
Having played for a few years we find the following: 1. It follows the definition Urban Dictionary: Niggle To screw someone or weasle your way into something. 2. During the last year it has transitioned to a point where in the solo game, all three opponent players have but one goal and that is to destroy your as they will eagerly go set themselves to destro you. Rather than succeed in a hand they will make a gross personal misplay. They can grossly mis-bid to throw you off or lay a trump to set you knowing that it sets them when not necessary. 3. With this knowledge, you can still win 90% of ur games.
Just like with Grandma
I've been playing this for many hours. My new favorite. Sometimes I win. Usually not. Great fun, great game!
Needs to be updated!
I love all your games but this one needs to be updated. As other reviewers have stated it crashes almost every single game. It is very frustrating. Please put out an update. Thanks.
Oh hell is the right name for this app!
It's a fun game but it crashes every single game, just at different points. Also, the computers will almost always come out on top. If there is one trick unaccounted for it will almost always be you that takes it, even if all you have is a four or five.

The update ruined it. It's slow, clunky and now has stupid little faces. Bring back the one with no faces! Why can't you fix the freezing? Please fix the bug. Take the time please to fix the bug
- the AI players all react when any card is played, rather than just their own - you can change your internet user name
