Just a few days after I entered the mobile gaming industry, it was my first time to seriously play Landlord 😂. I had only seen Grandpa and Aunt play in the park before, but when I started playing it I realized that it was all a trap! This "Dou Di Zhu Classic Edition" was recommended to me by my friend, saying it was suitable for novices, but I still stepped on several mistakes, so I came to talk to you who are also novices~
The first pitfall: I initially thought that the single-player mode was just about playing casually, but I was tortured to tears by the AI 😭 That "smart computer" was too ruthless. I lost five games in a row, and I always played cards in the wrong order. For example, I tried to play when I should have "passed", but the computer killed me. Later I learned that I had to click the "hint" button first and let it help me figure out how to play the cards, so that I wouldn't have to be blind.
The second pitfall: I don't understand the Lezi gameplay at all! Thought it was a normal card, only to find out it could turn into any card? ? ? It was the first time I got the leper, and I went all-in excitedly. As a result, the order of the cards was messed up, and I was taken away by the opponent. Later, after reading the help instructions in the game, I realized that Lezi should be reserved for bombs or straights, and not to use them randomly.
The third pitfall: I got stuck on the 5th level in the endgame and couldn't get through. I thought it was a matter of luck, but it turned out that the endgame in this game has a fixed solution and cannot be randomly chosen. Later, after reading the strategy posts in the forum, I realized that in order to memorize and count cards, it is better for novices to practice in free mode first.
The fourth pitfall: I thought I was just casually playing in the friend game, but I found out that my friends were also keeping score seriously! In order to grab the landowner, I doubled up directly, but my hand was so bad that I was laughed at by my friends all night 😂 Now I don't dare to double up randomly anymore, I honestly look at the cards before making a decision.
But to be honest, despite stepping on so many pitfalls, I think this game is really suitable for novices. The stand-alone mode does not require an Internet connection and can be practiced at any time. Although the AI is strong, it will not curse. Moreover, the real-person battle matching is very fast, and there is a "Newcomer Zone" where everyone is a novice, so there is no embarrassment in practicing with each other. Especially the "new no shuffling" mode, the continuous explosion of bombs is particularly exciting, although I often blow myself up 😂
In short, I recommend it to friends who are new to mobile games like me. It is not difficult to get started with Doudizhu Classic Edition, but you must first read the tutorial and play single-player first, and don't jump directly into the real-person game! I play for a while every day now, and I have been able to win a few games. I am very happy. If you have also encountered pitfalls, please leave a message to exchange ~ let's make progress together!
