## What is Larens?

Larens is the card game played in every Emirati majlis: two teams, bidding, a trump suit, and two jokers that turn the table. Play online with friends, or against computer characters: Emirati neighbours of every age, plus guests from Egypt, India, the Philippines, Sudan and Britain, each in their own dialect.

• 4 players (2 vs 2) or 6 players (3 vs 3) with the authentic Emirati rules: Pass, Bawn, Bont, Larens, Tadmin and asking your partner about the joker.
• Private rooms with a key you share on WhatsApp, and public rooms for quick play.
• Fully voiced characters who bid, comment and tease: Emiratis from a child to a grandfather, plus guests from abroad.
• Shuffling and dealing like real life: the tricks are gathered and given a human shuffle, and cards land scattered on the table.
• Majlis, beach, souq and desert: full venues that change every match, with day and night modes.
• Weekly league, a monthly season with an exclusive laurel, and knockout tournaments for up to 16 players.
• Daily challenge with the same deal for everyone, daily missions, weekly challenges, daily gift and a treasure chest.
• Store: card decks, characters, frames, throws, celebrations, name plates and majlis décor.
• Lose your connection? The computer fills in until you're back, and your seat is saved.
• Arabic and English.

Free to play, with optional in-app purchases.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-28

• Won tricks now sit side by side next to the player who took them, one card per trick, so you can count them at a glance.
• Both jokers: the bidder holding both jokers must play one within the first 3 tricks. Red first is Tadmin, black first is normal play, and playing neither burns it.
• Computer players now follow the Tadmin rule correctly.
• Small fixes and improvements.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-26

• Rooms with friends now work in the app: create a room and share the key, or join theirs (even if they play on the website).
• Simpler way to play: tap Play → pick 4 or 6 players → choose your seat and start. Empty seats are played by the computer.
• Smarter computer players that don't burn their jokers, with a speed setting: slow, normal, fast.
• The first dealer is always random.
• Real oud music and new button sounds.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-23
