Quickfire Rules: Each suit is ranked Ace (low) – King (high). The aim of the game is to win Diamonds by bidding cards from your own hand against your opponent. Players make ‘closed bids’ for the top, face up, prize Diamond by selecting a card from their hand. These cards are then revealed simultaneously, and the player making the highest bid takes the competition card. Rules for tied bids vary. Either the competition card is discarded, or its value may ‘roll over’ to the next round so that two or more cards are competed for with a single bid card. (see Settings). The cards used for bidding are discarded, and play continues with a new upturned prize card. After 13 rounds the game is scored. Points are totalled equal to the sum of the cards won – Ace is worth one point, up to King worth 13 points. ## Key features - Two-player card game - Pure strategy, no luck - Track your stats - Play against smart AIs - Easy or hard mode - Customizable color themes and card decks ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | GOPS Premium | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (8 of 8) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gops/id1460590199/reviews.md ### 5/5 — very good game *2025-08-31* I like this game ### 5/5 — GOPS is a great game *2022-12-18, version 1.11.0* Yeah, GOPS is a really great 2 player card game - it’s very much more fun to play against a real person with a deck of cards but this is a good option for practicing or passing the time when u don’t have a real opponent to play with 👍 ### 5/5 — Easy casual game *2022-12-01, version 1.11.0* Easy to play, clear playing card styles. Good for a few minutes of time wasting. Ads not intrusive and can change to banner at bottom of page that isn’t noticeable, or pay 1.79 English pounds for no ads -bargain ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-03-06* Good game. I agree that easy is more difficult than hard. I can beat hard about 90% of the time, but easy is more like 50-60% of the time. ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-02-24* Easy rules and fun to play. This developer does quality work and really thinks through the game play. I recommend any of their games because they do a good job striking a balance between being challenging and yet occasionally winning! ### 5/5 — Great card game *2019-10-26* This is a great little card game. It really makes you think, enjoyed playing and improving ### 5/5 — Like it *2019-10-13* Like to play all kinds of poker games, don’t know how to play at beginning, but I’m good at it now ### 5/5 — Nice *2019-09-03* It’s nice to see an app for this amazing and virtually unknown game. I find the easy version harder to beat since it is less predictable. ## Frequently asked questions about GOPS ### What is GOPS?
