How Secure is Game Data?
This
app is intended for recreational purposes only, but is designed to prevent
cheating. All data is encrypted during
transmission and stored on a secure server.
Only visible cards are
transmitted to the device during game play. The server verifies that the cards dealt are the cards that are played.
Shuffling
Generating perfect randomness is difficult for computers, but I use the best possible algorithms that are available for the resources I have. Random number generators are given a seed, if you know the seed you can predict what numbers will be generated. The algorithm I use to generate the seed is supposed to be completely impractical to discover (ie it would take so long to find it that it is essentially impossible). The algorithm for shuffling I use is the best available given the computing power I have access to. I periodically will go through and make sure that the hands that have been dealt recently are following the distributions that are statistically supposed to be seen.

What does the message “Your purchase cannot be verified through Google Play.” mean?
To prevent pirating, Google Play’s licensing server is
used. The app verifies the purchase upon
loading. If you get this message, and
have purchased the app please email me.
Why do you need my
email address?
I will not sell, trade, or use your email address for
marketing purposes at all. The only
reason your email is used is so that if you can receive a new password if you
forget yours. Your account is set up so
that you can play your games on different devices. Your email address helps keep your account
consistent across multiple devices. If you do not want to provide your email you can use a Guest Account to play.
What are the
limitations of the Guest Account?
The Guest account is:
- Not
included in the overall leaderboards
- Does
not have an alias or avatar

not shown as an available opponent when users are browsing for new opponents

transferable to different devices.
How do I refresh the lobby screen?

There is a +/- button at the top of the screen, click that to toggle to past rounds.
What are the little numbers on the cards?
The little numbers tell you in what order the cards were dealt.
How do I delete a custom scoring?
Unfortunately there is no way to delete a custom scoring scenario at the moment, but if you create a new one and save it as the same name, you will overwrite the old one. Alternatively you can uninstall and reinstall the app, but that will delete all your custom scoring scenarios.

What is Fantasy Land?
When you are in Fantasy Land you get to set all your cards
at once, instead of waiting for them one at a time. This gives you an extreme advantage over your
opponent.
By default to enter Fantasy Land your top (worst) hand has
to be Queens or better, but you can change the requirement through the
settings.
If you get a really good hand in Fantasy Land you can stay
and play the next round as well. By
default you have to have three of a kind in your top hand OR a full house or
better in your middle hand OR four of a kind or better in your bottom hand, but
these requirements can be changed in the settings.
If you are in Fantasy Land and you lose your opponent gets a
“Punishment” bonus, where all there points are multiplied. The default multiplier is 1, but can be
changed in the settings.
What is a joker?
A joker can be added to the deck to be used as a wild card. If you get dealt the joker, after you have set all the cards in your hand, the app will ask you what card you want the joker to be. This feature comes with the purchase of the app, but is limited in that you can only play two games at a time. Unlimited play can be purchased within the app (approximately $1 USD).

It may take up to 15 minutes before the email arrives. If you don't receive the email you can always email me (laura at corvidapps.com) and I can confirm your account for you.
