Hey! I built an iOS app for Italian card games (Scopa, Briscola and some of their variations) and I'm looking for people who'd be willing to help me test it.

A little backstory: I've been into card games since I was a kid and I grew up playing Scopa and Briscola with family. For years I've been trying to find a decent app I can just pick up and play in my downtime, but every "free" app I tried was either plastered with ads to the point where you're closing pop ups more than you're actually playing, or it required an active internet connection, or both. It got to the point where I just thought screw it, I'll make my own.
It honestly started as something I built for myself. I just wanted an app that worked offline, had zero ads, and actually let me play the game. But it's gotten to the stage now where I'd really love some fresh eyes on it from people who actually know these games.
What's in there right now:
- Scopa and Briscola with variations
- Fully playable single player against AI
- stats, settings, deck styles, rule cards
Still a work in progress:
- Multiplayer is in there but it's very early, still figuring out the networking side of things
- AI could definitely use some tuning (this is a big one I'd love feedback on... does it play a reasonable game or does it make obviously dumb moves?)
- Various small UX bits I keep finding and fixing
If you grew up playing Scopa or Briscola or any of their variations or any card game at all! and you're willing to give it a go and tell me where it breaks or where something feels off, I would really appreciate it. Not just bug reports either, if the card play doesn't flow right or the scoring feels wrong I want to hear that too. There are a lot of regional rule differences with these games so I'd also love to hear how you play them.
Happy to answer any questions about it!
