## What is 52 Patta?

Play Kaliteri, Judgement, and Mendikot — the classic Indian card games — with friends online in real time.
52 Patta brings three beloved trick-taking games to your phone, with private rooms, an in-room live scoreboard, and smooth real-time gameplay.

Gamemodes:

1. Kaliteri
The team bidding classic for 4–13 players. Win the auction, pick a trump suit, and secretly name your partner by calling a card. Alliances stay hidden until the partner card hits the table. Bid high, play smart, and outscore the opposition.

2. Judgement (Katchufool)
Every player for themselves across 3–13 players. Before each round you predict exactly how many tricks you'll win — miss by even one and you're penalised. Precision and reading your opponents is everything.

3. Mendikot
The fast-paced team game for 4–12 players. Capture all four 10s (Mendis) and sweep the round. Choose between Cut Hukum (trump set by the first off-suit play) or Band Hukum (a hidden trump card revealed only when needed). Clean, tactical, and easy to learn.


FEATURES:
• Real-time multiplayer — card plays appear instantly for all players
• Private rooms — create a room, share a 6-character code, play only with people you invite
• Up to 13 players per room — bring the whole family to the table
• In-room live scoreboard — track points, tricks, and round history as you play
• In-game chat — talk to your table, with report, block and mute controls
• Custom avatars — build a unique look and bring your personality to the table
• In-game tutorials — learn all three game modes before you sit down with friends
• Play solo with bots — fill any room with computer players and learn at your own pace
Free to download and play.

### 3.1.0 — 2026-08-11

Chat is here — plus clearer team colours and a rebuilt lobby.

CHAT
• Tap the chat button to type a message. Hold it for quick messages and emojis.
• Quick messages are yours to change — long-press any chip to edit it.
• Report, block and mute. You control who reaches you, and blocks stick across
  rooms and reinstalls.
• Blocked players show a muted badge, so their silence makes sense.

GAMEPLAY
• Team colours now follow you. In Kaliteri, blue is always your team and red is
  always the opposition — on the table, the seats, and the live score.
• Fixed the Kaliteri bidder's seat flashing the wrong colour before the partner
  is revealed.
• Fixed white arcs on the corners of the deal-reveal card.
• Fixed crashes and slowdowns in long sessions, and smoothed the table's
  animations.

LOBBY
• Ready is now a pinned toggle at the bottom of the screen — no more hunting
  for it.
• Player and spectator grids are four across, so a full table fits at a glance.
• Past games moved into their own Session Game Log.
• Admins can tap any game-details tile to change it on the spot — player count,
  decks, rounds — without leaving the room.
• Tap any player, anywhere, to open their actions.

Thanks for playing 52 Patta!

### 3.0.0 — 2026-07-29

The change log for this version can be found here:
https://52patta.in/updates

New Features
* New spectate mode — join an in-progress room to watch the game live, with a real-time "N watching" counter, instead of only being able to join rooms still in the lobby.
* New "Find Room" screen: browse a live list of open and in-progress rooms (host, player count, game mode, round status) instead of only creating or joining by code. Tap a lobby room to join as a player, or an in-progress room to join as a spectator.
* Kaliteri's post-round point reveal was completely redesigned into a suspenseful, player-by-player reveal that builds toward the moment the bid team crosses (or misses) their target.
* Admins can now hand off the admin role to another player in the lobby — no more losing the whole room if the admin has to leave.
* The room admin's avatar now shows a gold "ADMIN" badge so it's always clear who's in charge.
* Judgement bidding now shows a row of dots so you can see at a glance how many players have placed their bid.
* New optional "Live Points Display" setting for Kaliteri, with a redesigned scoring HUD.
Improvements
* Card dealing is faster and smoother — the old full-deck flying-card animation is gone, hands appear almost instantly.
* Card-reveal screens stay open a little longer on quick hands so you have time to actually see your cards.
* Mendikot's "Band Hukum" trump is now picked instantly instead of making everyone wait through a 5-second pick window.
* Closing or backgrounding the app no longer boots you from a lobby — reopening the app puts you right back where you were.
* Leaving a room now gives you a clearer message about what actually happened (kicked, room closed, or you left).
* If the room admin disconnects or leaves, another player is automatically promoted instead of the room closing on everyone.
* The "N watching" spectator counter now updates live and accurately.
* Room settings screens were reorganized — common settings are always visible, with an "Advanced Settings" section for the rest.
* Kaliteri team-colored avatars, a redesigned partner-reveal panel, an updated bid panel, and consistent team colors across game modes.
* The post-round scoreboard now animates into rank order instead of snapping instantly.
* 2-deck Kaliteri trump selection is simpler — no more "which copy?" popup.
* General visual polish across icons, chips, and player avatars.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed several ways a room could get permanently stuck after someone left mid-game, disconnected, or force-quit.
* Fixed games getting stuck at the scoreboard forever after a server update — they now resume automatically.
* Fixed spectators occasionally seeing a stale hand of cards, being unable to rejoin, or seeing a "Failed to load" error.
* Fixed the admin's "Quit Game" button leaving everyone frozen on the game board instead of returning home.
* Fixed the point-calculation bar breaking in 2-deck games and rendering underneath the table.
* Fixed several team-coloring bugs around partner reveal and round end.
* Fixed a crash opening the scoreboard chart when all players are tied at 0 points.
* Fixed the "Live Points Display" toggle silently doing nothing when tapped.
* Fixed the win/lose end-of-round animation sometimes not appearing at all.
* Fixed inconsistent Mendikot bar-chart icons and bar heights in 2-deck games.
Performance
* Reduced memory and battery usage from ads, the Avatar Creator, confetti effects, and win/lose animations — smoother play during long sessions.
Security
* Bots and disconnected players can no longer be targeted for admin promotion.
