## What is Card Salon?

Card Salon is a collection of classic card games in the hush of a jazz lounge — made for grown-ups.

TEN GAMES
• Old Maid (with or without a Joker) — a classic test of luck and nerve; watch the pairs drop out after the deal
• Daifugo — revolution, 8-cut, suit lock, stairs, Jack-back, 7-pass, 10-discard, fall-from-grace… switch each local rule on or off, or start from the Standard or Full-set preset
• Sevens — a battle of passes, with optional Joker and both-ends rule
• Seven Bridge — build melds and add to them; sevens and Jokers double the score
• Crazy Eights / Page One — change the suit with a wild 8 and go out first; switch the rules to Page One for draw cards, skip, reverse and the last-card call
• Hearts — trick-taking where you dodge the point cards. Passing, breaking hearts and shooting the moon are all in
• Gin Rummy — a two-player duel of melding and cutting your leftovers. Knock, gin, undercut and lay-off included
• Contract Bridge — the classic partnership trick-taking game. Partner with a CPU; every call in the bidding comes with a plain explanation, and you play the dummy's cards too
• Concentration — a memory duel, solo or with friends
• Solitaire — hints, undo and auto-finish included
(No betting, no chips: every game is about scores or cards left in hand.)

CPUs IN FOUR LEVELS — AND THE “ONI”
The Oni never peeks at your hand. It infers from the cards played and from how you behave, then looks ahead. Choose Easy to Oni (except in Old Maid and Solitaire). Very rarely, a stranger may take a seat at your table.

YOUR COMPANY AND YOUR SCENE
• Tap the people icon at the top right of the lobby to choose who sits at your table
• Alongside the silhouetted regulars, illustrated characters (Cameo A and B) join you. They think on their turn, and celebrate or sulk at the results
• Five illustrated jazz bar scenes for the lobby and the table. In scenes with two people, choose which one to keep in view
• Try the cameos for 24 hours by watching an ad

SHUFFLED, DEALT, AND QUIETLY UNDERWAY
• Each game opens with the cards being shuffled and dealt (tap to skip)
• Card sounds, a cue for your turn, a sound for the results, and gentle background music
• Sound effects, music and the dealing animation can each be switched off in Settings
• Missed a move? Open the Log at the top right any time
• Your records are in Records, and you can pick up where you left off

REFINED DESIGN
• Crisp vector cards, readable even when small thanks to corner indices
• Nine themes: Midnight Blue Note, Speakeasy, Emerald Lounge, Smoke & Ivory, Midnight Pumpkin and Golden Noël are free; Kohaku (Amber), Rokusho (Verdigris) and Sumi (Ink) are one-time purchases — or try them by watching an ad
• Pick the card back and card face separately from the theme: Classic, Pumpkin Night, Neon or Santa backs; Standard, Old Parchment or Neon faces (Kohaku, Rokusho and Sumi have their own fixed design)
• An illustrated how-to-play guide for each game
• Choose the number of players (Daifugo, Sevens, Seven Bridge, Crazy Eights and Old Maid: 2–6; Hearts and Contract Bridge: 4; Gin Rummy: 2; Concentration: 1–6; Solitaire is solo)

MORE
