<p>My perspective is having never played Haggis until i played it on the ipad.  I have quite a bit of Tichu experience.<br>
The AI offered competition to me for about 5 games.  After that i can beat it 4/5 of the time.</p>

<p>So overall i think it is a good way to learn the game, but will not help you get ahead online</p>

<p>I recently picked up the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/haggis/id465018604?mt=8" rel="nofollow">iOS port</a> for <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37628/haggis" rel="nofollow">Haggis</a>. Although I own the physical version, and you can play it online at <a href="http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!gamepanel?game=haggis" rel="nofollow">boardgamearena</a>, playing versus the iOS AI has been my first experience with the game.</p>

<p>I generally beat the AI pretty handily at this point but I'm wondering if this is one of those games where the AI employs a strategy that can be successful against novices but cannot compete with even moderately experienced players.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-01)

I recently picked up the [iOS port](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/haggis/id465018604?mt=8) for [Haggis](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37628/haggis). Although I own the physical version, and you can play it online at [boardgamearena](http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!gamepanel?game=haggis), playing versus the iOS AI has been my first experience with the game.

I generally beat the AI pretty handily at this point but I'm wondering if this is one of those games where the AI employs a strategy that can be successful against novices but cannot compete with even moderately experienced players.
