About
Horse Collar is a fast, social trick-taking card game from Youngstown, Ohio. Every round is five quick tricks: call IN to play or OUT to sit it out, win your tricks, and whatever you do — don't get stuck with the collar. Lowest score wins.
Play a quick game solo against clever bots, or host a room and play live with friends. No account, no sign-up — just a room code and you're dealing.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Five tricks a round, with a trump suit each deal
• Go IN or OUT before the round — but get "set" with zero tricks and you take the penalty
• Redraw to improve your hand, read the table, and chase the lowest score
• First to zero wins; ties break on who took the fewest collars
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Single player vs. smart bots — fully offline
• Online multiplayer for 2–6 players with a simple room code
• Classic, Quick, or fully Custom rules — tune the starting score, set penalty, zone, and trump rules to match your table
BUILT FOR GAME NIGHT
• Round-by-round scorecards saved for every game
• Separate stats for solo and multiplayer
• A running session total across a night of games
• Drop-outs auto-fill with a bot so the game never stalls
No tracking. No account. Just cards.
Made with love in the 330.
