Why Raub?
Learn this amazing old European card game played all over Central and Southern Europe. You will love playing it on your way to and from work, school, etc. It is one of the simplest of all trick based games and is played with 32 card deck (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7). Once you try it, you’ll be hooked on it!!! See why people cannot resist playing Raub!
For experienced users: This game is the best way to practice your Raub skills against three computer players!
FEATURES:
- Simple and elegant user interface
- Challenging computer players
- Score keeping
- Different card decks to choose from (Classic as well as Hungarian/German kinds)
- Classic Raub settings available: Refa and Double Fall.
I like the game very much. However there is a problem with the scoring when I “follow” after a computer player has “accepted.”
Gaining one trick should result in player point count being reduced by one point, but this does not happen. Instead the player point count is increased by three points.
When this is fixed I will post a favourable review on iTunes.
Also, I would like to see more detailed and larger cards from authentic patterns, if possible.
Thanks.
Hi David,
Thank you for kind comments.
With regards to the problem you have reported we have put priority to investigate it (it is in process of being investigated as this comment is being written). As soon as it is established why this issue occurs resolution for it will be provided in the next release of Raub.
With regards to your comment to see the larger/more detailed cards from authentic patterns could you be so kind to let us know what exactly would you like to see and we will do our best to incorporate it in future releases of Raub. Please be so kind to send us an email or leave additional comments here.
Thanks again for your comments!

Apologies. I can’t seem to replicate the ‘bug’ myself. Either it only happens in very specific (and infrequent) circumstances or it doesn’t happen at all. Sorry again if this turns out to be a wild goose chase.
Still enjoying the game regardless. I have quite a few card game apps (often several versions of the same game) and I tend to keep the ones with the best card art. For me, this means cards based on the real life patterns.
To improve the look and feel of Raub, I would recommend making the cards a little bigger and using something like the New Altenburg or Bavarian pattern for the German Deck.
Hi David,
Thanks again for the comments.
We will be publishing soon a new release of Raub. Based on your comments we will integrate additional checks with regards too scoring to make sure that scoring is handled properly.
With regards to the real life patterns there is a long running issue of copyrights on individual card patterns (it is vague which version of which patterns is copyrighted) and their use in applications as well as printing. For future releases our intention is to examine some of the more popular German decks and see if their copyright will permit us to add them.
Kind regards,
