A trick-taking card game that's a real treat
If you enjoy trick-taking card games like Hearts, Spades, Bridge, or Wizard, you will be in heaven with Mü. With its slick, faithful, and feature-chocked adaptation of Frank Nestel's clever rule set, it is obvious that this game was a labor of love for developer Steve Blanding. Available in the physical world in the card game collections Mü & More and Mü & Lots More (both highly rated on BoardGameGeek), Mü offers a depth of strategy almost unheard of in card games. So much so that even with a thorough tutorial, I would highly recommend reading the in-game manual in its entirety.
One huge point in favor of this particular adaptation is the ability to play with up to five other local users through Bluetooth. Mr. Blanding has devised a way around the typical two-player limit to such wireless communication, one that I hope other developers will utilize in the future. Mü also saves automatically and transparently at every turn, a necessary feature for a longer game such as this. And I have to admit that another point in favor of this app is that the game plays in portrait orientation, though one can turn his/her device on its side to view the detailed scoring charts.
If you carry any fondness at all for card games, you owe it to yourself to give this app a try. It will provide you with countless hours of enjoyment for a mere pittance, whether you play it alone or with friends.
An Open Letter
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.
BTW: I have no idea what June is talking about. I believe that the logic on making or not making the bid is solid. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I would truly love to hear about it.
Take the time to understand it and you will be rewarded
This is not a mindless bird-thrower game to while away the hours. It's a first-class thinking game that will challenge you at every turn. The trump rules are odd and take a little time to get used to. I played the first couple games getting a hint on every play and had no idea why the suggestion was strong or weak. But when it fell into place in my head, it was beautiful. I play this all the time now, grabbing a round or two if I have a few minutes. An excellent game and perfectly suited for the Ipod.
My only beef is a small one. Sometimes when I try to tap a card on the left side of a full hand, I'll accidentally hit the trash can instead and it'll ask if I want a new game. I can always back out of it, but it's a minor annoyance.
