## What is Faro?

FARO

An Old West card table, made for iPhone and iPad.

Faro brings the classic Western banking game to life with a traditional layout, pip-only number cards, and vintage-inspired face cards. Pick a chip, tap a card, and watch the banker and player cards turn over. One deck takes you from the opening soda to the final hock.

MAKE YOUR PLAY

Back the player card with an ordinary bet, or turn on Copper to back the banker card instead. Try High Card, adjust your stake with a slider or an exact amount, and swipe a chip down to take back a bet between turns.

CALL THE FINAL THREE

With three cards left, choose their rank order and place an optional Call the Turn bet. It is one last decision before the round ends.

KNOW YOUR TABLE

The casekeeper shows how many cards of each rank remain. History records the turns, while clear results and floating chip amounts show what you won or lost.

LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE

Seven illustrated How to Play pages introduce the essentials. Play offline, leave when you like, and return to your saved game. Portrait and landscape layouts make room for your table on both iPhone and iPad.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

Enjoy card flips, subtle chip sounds, and gentle haptics, with sound and haptic controls in Settings. No account, ads, or in-app purchases.

Faro uses fictional chips only. There is no real-money wagering, cash-out, or prizes.
