What are the game rules?
The rules and points in wiezen on Whisthub are the same as used by the 
IWWA with one exception: when the dealer wants to player misery, he does not have the possibility to exchange the trump card. In other words, in that case the other players already know one card held by the dealer. The reason is that exchanging cards is difficult when playing on a computer and hence the choice has been made to not allow it.
Why does the AI sometimes play weird cards?
To this date there is no known algorithm that can play Wiezen on the same level as humans. The algorithm that is developed in Whisthub mostly aims to make playing an AI sufficiently enjoyable. As such it is possible that some moves by the AI may seem weird to humans.
You will always have the best experience by playing against human players. The possibility to add AI to a game can be useful though when you don't reach four players, or you just want to play a game offline.
