Game Features
Versatile Gameplay Mechanics
The game is designed to offer a robust and versatile gameplay experience, allowing for both solo and multiplayer modes, accommodating up to four players. The seamless mechanics ensure a consistent and engaging gaming experience irrespective of the selected mode. In instances where rooms are not at total capacity, AI players are integrated automatically, exhibiting adaptive playstyles contingent on the cards they hold and the strategies employed by human players. This feature guarantees dynamic and unpredictable game sessions, maintaining high levels of engagement and challenge.
Adaptive Multiplayer Experience
In the online multiplayer mode, the game ensures fluid and uninterrupted gameplay by enforcing a time limit on each player’s turn. Should a player fail to act within the allocated time, the AI seamlessly assumes control of their hand, implementing strategic plays on their behalf. It ensures the continuity of the game, preventing delays and maintaining the pace and engagement of the session. Players can resume control once they interact again or reconnect in the event of a disconnection, ensuring a smooth and adaptable gaming experience.
