Dealer's Choice

Every game plays the way it is played at home. We went back to the sources for the whole catalog — rulebooks, federations and the players who keep each tradition — and set each game to its commonest traditional form: the real scoring, the real deal, the real way a match ends. Where a tradition splits, the other forms are on the table as options. Quick match. Games that run long — Tổ tôm, Guandan, Hand and Foot, Bridge and forty more — now offer a shorter sourced form with its own leaderboard, beside the traditional match. Pick one when you search; both are rated. The table shows what the game shows. Discard piles fan where the rules let you look and stay squared where they don't; turn-up cards lie face up; a game's counting aids are hidden in ranked play where its tradition forbids counting. Every rule text, option and coaching line is rewritten and reads in all thirteen languages.
