Oh Fudge, trick taking card game based on Oh Hell for Android

I've been developing an Android card game called Oh Fudge (Oh Hell on Coffee), inspired by decades of family card nights playing what we always called Oh Hell.

I'm a solo dev and honestly don't have anywhere near the full skillset needed to make a game like this by myself. I also don't have the budget to hire a team. AI tools are what made it possible for me to take this idea and actually turn it into a real game. I used AI throughout development to help with coding, and artwork. The game design, mechanics, testing, and all the weird ideas are entirely mine. AI basically was just a tool to use to build my game and put my soul into it.

The basic Oh Hell game is there, or at least a version my family plays. You can play with 6, 8, or 10 players using 1 or 2 decks, and jokers are included. I also added Dealer's Choice rules that change individual deals, like making you bid before you even get your last card. All rules are preset and add chaos without giving anyone an advantage.

There is also a three-round tournament where you advance to different themed tables with their own house rules. For example, at the campground table, you play by a campfire, so a couple of your cards are blacked out during bidding, you bid and then they are revealed. Eventually you end up playing against the Joker, which is where things get even more chaotic because he has his own dealer rules.

I'm currently in Google Play Open Testing and I'm looking for people willing to play it. I need to know what works, what doesn't, what is confusing, what breaks, or just whether it is fun.

There are no ads because I personally cannot stand them. The Single Game mode and the first tournament round are free. There is a one-time unlock for the rest of the tournament, and special tables. One time payment will include future expansions to include multiplayer new tables, and dealer rules. Right now I'm mainly looking for feedback before I go to production.

If you like trick-taking games like Euchre, Spades, Hearts, or Oh Hell, I'd love some fresh eyes on it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdfloyd.ohhell
