Smart Truco 5.1.213

Card games are great fun as they are a great combination of sheer luck and intelligent scheming. A lucky card player who has no sense of strategy and doesn't play the right cards when dealt a great hand won't win consistently. While someone who is great at strategy and schemes a lot can consistently lose if he/she is continuously dealt poor cards. This is what makes card games interesting. Every country has some card games of their own and Brazil is no different with its Truco variation. This cards game is extremely interesting and is a nice play on the famous Poker card game. LG Smart Truco is one app which lets you play and master the Truco variation of the cards game.

LG Smart Truco offers two famous Truco card games namely Mineiro and Paulista. Both have subtle differences with one another but both are equally entertaining and addictive. LG Smart Truco does a fantastic job of informing new players of the rules of both the games. There is an option at the top of the screen which includes both a Rules section and a Tutorial section. In the rules, you can get familiarized with Truco Mineiro and Truco Paulista rules. On the other hand, with the tutorial, you are taken to a game against the AI where you are guided every step of the way regarding your hand, the highest card and all the rules applicable. So, you have both options, you can choose to read the rules and then start right away or you can attend the tutorial to get an idea about how the cards game plays out before starting playing on your own. Both are excellent options and it's a credit to the app developers that they have kept both options.

The gameplay itself offers a lot of opportunities. You can play offline games against the AI or you can use your Bluetooth to connect with a friend and play against him/her. There is also the option of playing online against random opponents while if you have a group of friends who play Truco, you can make an online lobby and then play amongst yourselves. In every game type, you can decide if you want to play a 1v1, 2v2 or a 3v3 game. You can also decide whether it will be a best of one, three or five. You can also choose between clean and dirty decks as each type of deck has a certain number and type of cards.
The multiplayer version is really great since you get the chance to play against actual humans and this is where good strategies normally pay off far more efficiently. The game has a chat room too during the game and you can tease players, give signals and hints and have a good laugh while playing the game in this manner. The only difficulty lies in playing random players as that most leave the game soon after starting which can be frustrating.

The gameplay itself is terrific as well. LG Smart Truco understands that most of its players won't memorize the rules from the get go and this is why it offers the option of in-game rule book which you can refer to during your turns. This is great as it helps you remember which card would be the highest and how you can ensure that you raise or fold at the right moment.

Features:

• Great offline, lobby, multiplayer and Bluetooth gaming options
• 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 games possible
• Well-explained rules through the rulebook
• Easily referable quick guide during the game itself
• Fantastic tutorial to help you gain an appreciation of the rules

Conclusion:

LG Smart Truco is a brilliant app which has been well-designed and keeps in mind that most of its players won't know the rules of the cards game it has to offer. Great background music, nice multiplayer and an easily referable in-game rule book are the game's best features!
