## What is PODOC?

Podoc is a digital card table for playing real card games with real people. There are no computer opponents and no rules to get in your way — Podoc deals the cards, sets the table, and rotates the dealer. You and your friends play by the rules you know (or the house rules you've argued over for years).

10 GAMES, READY TO DEAL
Every game comes pre-configured with the right deck, layout, and features:
• War — the classic high-card battle
• Go Fish — collect sets of four by asking for cards
• Crazy Eights — match suit or rank; eights are wild
• Hearts — dodge the hearts and the Queen of Spades
• Spades — bid, take tricks, and race your partner to 500
• Euchre — fast 4-player, 2-vs-2 trick-taking
• Gin Rummy — build melds and knock
• Golf — swap cards for the lowest score over 9 holes
• May I — contract rummy across 7 escalating rounds
• 65 — an 11-round gin-style game from Grandma Bette

BUILD YOUR OWN GAME
Beyond the presets, create fully custom games: choose the number of decks, add jokers, turn draw and discard piles on or off, enable a shared play area, trick-taking, score sheets, card passing, and teams. Save your presets and deal them anytime.

PLAY IN PERSON — FREE
Local play connects everyone over Wi-Fi on the same network. No internet, no account, no charge. Pass the devices around the kitchen table.

PLAY ONLINE — ANYWHERE
Start an online table and share a 6-character code; friends anywhere in the world join in seconds.

MADE FOR CARD PLAYERS
• Drag-and-drop cards between your hand, layout, the shared arena, and the piles
• Round-by-round score sheets
• Trick-taking for Spades, Hearts, and Euchre
• Card passing for Hearts, Go Fish, and your own variants
• Team play with configurable partnerships
• Five card-back designs, or upload your own
• Save and resume a game when everyone rejoins
• Sound effects and event notifications (both optional)

HONEST BY DESIGN
No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Podoc doesn't collect personal information or require an account — just gather your players and deal.

Local play is free forever. Online multiplayer requires a subscription:
• Podoc Monthly — $2.99/month
• Podoc Annual — $19.99/year
Both include a 1-week free trial and are Family Sharing enabled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2026-08-15*

My family loves to play cards when hanging out at a bar or waiting for dinner in a restaurant. But we frequently forget to bring cards with us. With this app we don’t have to remember the cards. Because the app allows you to completely customize your game, we can play any card game we want. It’s great!
