Frequently asked questions
Does the computer cheat?
No. Its hand is picked at random before yours is compared, so every hand has the same chance.
Is there a winning strategy?
Against a random opponent, no. Every hand wins, loses and draws one third of the time. People are less random, which is why tricks work on friends.
Can two people play on one phone?
Yes. Use Random hand to give each player a hand in turn. For a quick yes or no, the coin flip is even faster.
