A game of Leekha in progress: three opponents around a patterned table, the queen of diamonds led, and your hand of cards along the bottom

Four games, one table

Four games played around café tables across the Middle East, each with its rules spelled out and its scoring done for you.

Dodge the Q♠

Leekha

Pass three cards, then play to take as few points as you can. The queen of spades costs 13, the ten of diamonds 10.

 Call your tricks

400

Hearts are trump. Say how many tricks you'll take, then take them. Play with a partner or on your own.

 Team bids

Tarneeb

Two teams bid for the right to name trump. Make the bid and score every trick; miss it and pay.

 Draw & lay down

14

Rummy with jokers for two to four players. Open with 51 points of sets and runs, then race to empty your hand.

Play with friends, wherever they are

Open a table, share its four-letter code, and your friends take their seats. Bots fill any empty chairs, and if someone's connection drops, a bot keeps their seat warm until they're back.

  • Every hand is dealt and checked on our server, and each player only ever sees their own cards.
  • Partners sit across from each other in 400 and Tarneeb, just like at a real table.
  • Friends on an iPhone or a computer can join from the browser.

Learn in a minute, play for years

Every game comes with picture rules: one idea per page, shown with real cards, not paragraphs. Cards you can't play are dimmed, a wrong tap tells you why, and hints suggest a call or a lay-down when you want one.

  • Easy, Normal and Hard bots for every game.
  • Your game saves after every move: close the app and pick up where you left off.
  • Works offline. Play on a plane, in a café, anywhere.
