A thousand points, three players, one talon

The game everyone's family plays slightly differently, rebuilt for modern phones, tablets and desktops — with the house rules left in your hands.

  • 01

    Declare, take, deliver

    Contracts start at 100 and go up in fives. Declare the highest and the three-card talon is yours — along with the promise to bring home every point you named.

  • 02

    Marriages set the trump

    Hold the King and Queen of a suit, lead one of them, and that suit becomes trumps — worth 40 for spades up to 100 for hearts. Then somebody else declares theirs, and everything changes again.

  • 03

    Four levels of AI

    Easy, Normal and Hard, plus a Master tier played by a trained neural network that has taught itself the game over millions of deals.

  • 04

    Online multiplayer

    Create a private room and share the code, or join one. Empty seats are filled by the computer at whatever strength you choose, so the game always starts.

  • 05

    Forty agreements

    The barrel, the bolts, the golden round, the dark game, whether a distribution costs you 120 — every house rule the game has ever been played under is a switch you can set.

  • 06

    Never lose a hand

    Single-player saves itself after every card. Close the app mid-deal and Resume puts you back on exactly the card you were looking at.

  • 07

    Classic deck art

    The Atlas deck everyone remembers, sharp at any size, with Cyrillic or Latin indices. The felt colour and the order of your hand are yours to set.

  • 08

    English and Russian

    Fully localised, rules included. The game follows your device language, or set it by hand.

Twenty-four cards, a hundred and twenty points

Six cards in each suit. Every point in the pack comes from the cards themselves — the rest has to be declared.
